This is the conversation for you if you’re looking to travel the world and sail the seven seas in the upcoming December holidays.

Founded in 1969, our guest Royal Caribbean International is the world’s largest cruise line.

The firm prides itself on its history of innovation from being the firm with the first surf simulator to the fastest internet at sea. 

It also has a global network across major sea routes. Just to give a sense of Royal Caribbean’s global footprint, the firm’s fleets visited 256 ports in 64 countries on 6 continents around the world back in 2017. 

But how important is Asia to Royal Caribbean in the bigger scheme of things? 

What is the role of Singapore as a market given how it was one of the first to allow ships to be homeported during the pandemic, and how it has been the homeport of Asia’s largest cruise ship, the Spectrum of the Seas? 

How far will the firm’s attention shift from Singapore to China post-pandemic with Asia’s largest cruise ship, the Spectrum of the Seas, returning back to its original homeport of Shanghai in May 2024?

Meanwhile, Disney Cruise Line has signed a deal to homeport its newest cruise ship here in Singapore for the first time. What does this mean for Royal Caribbean, and what will it take for Royal Caribbean to homeport even larger ships here in Singapore?

On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway’s finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Bert Hernandez, Senior Vice President, Royal Caribbean International.
