Royal Caribbean has joined forces with Singapore Tourism Board and Changi Airport Group to promote fly-cruises from Singapore.
The three parties have signed a three-year agreement which is expected to bring in up to 170,000 extra foreign visitors to Singapore to take a Royal Caribbean cruise.
Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas will embark on its busiest season so far from October, with a series of longer seven to 15 night itineraries aimed at inbound fly-cruisers.
The promotion will have a global impact with marketing activities aimed at India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Europe and North America.
"Having deployed ships here regularly for the last seven years, Royal Caribbean now looks forward to its next phase of significant growth in Singapore," said Royal Caribbean managing director for Singapore and Southeast Asia, Sean Treacy.
"Our three-year deployment plan is our strongest commitment ever to this market and we see great potential in Singapore as a source market and regional cruise hub."
