The official ceremony was well-attended by around 100 governmental VIPs, media, business partners as well as Royal Caribbean representatives in Japan.
Mr Kelvin Tan, Royal Caribbean’s Regional Director, Asia Pacific said, “We are proud to bring Voyager of the Seas to Japan to let our fans here experience directly from home Royal Caribbean’s signature international and innovative cruising style. Japan is one of our top markets in Asia, and we are very encouraged by the strong response from this market for these cruises. We will continue to work with our Japanese representatives, agents and partners to bring more of such cruises to Japan.”
The 14 passenger deck-Voyager of the Seas is the largest and most exciting ship based in Asia.

In addition, there is a three-tier theatre, themed bars and lounges as well as a mezzanine split level nightclub.
