Royal Caribbean International has cancelled numerous 2027 sailings aboard its ships Navigator of the Seas and Ovation of the Seas. The redeployment of these vessels aims to support an expanded Asia-Pacific program.
Affected Itineraries and Regional Expansion
The cancelled voyages were scheduled to depart from Los Angeles with stops at Mexican ports. The redeployment supports Royal Caribbean’s expanded presence in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan in the 2027-2028 cruising season.
Redeployment Schedule and Operational Reasons
Navigator of the Seas is set to remain in the Asia-Pacific region year-round from October 2026 through October 2027. Ovation of the Seas is being repositioned to Brisbane as part of the expanded regional
deployment. Royal Caribbean stated that these itinerary changes are part of normal operational planning to address scheduling needs, port agreements, and other logistical considerations.
Guests and travel partners affected by the cancellations have been contacted directly with information about available arrangements, including options for refunds or rebooking.
