Cruises from Singapore 2027

Why Singapore is one of the great cruise departure cities

Singapore sits at the crossroads of South East Asia, which makes it one of the most versatile embarkation ports in the world. From here, sailings fan out across the region — threading through archipelagos, calling at ancient port cities, sweeping north to Japan or south-west toward Africa. Whether you want a short regional escape or a month-long voyage, Singapore has a departure to match. For Australians, it is a short domestic-to-international hop rather than a long-haul schlep, and CruiseAway can bundle your flights and hotel nights in Singapore into the one booking so you arrive rested and ready.

Where do Singapore cruises go in 2027?

The clear majority of sailings head into South East Asia — this is where most of the 2027 calendar is concentrated, and rightly so. The region offers a depth of culture, coastline and cuisine that few other parts of the world can match from a single embarkation point. Beyond the region, a strong programme sails north to Japan, with ships calling at Tokyo and Yokohama. A handful of sailings reach south to Australia, east on transpacific crossings, and west toward Africa and South Africa, as well as the India and Indian Ocean region.

South East Asia sailings

This is where Singapore cruising is strongest in 2027. Itineraries typically weave through the wider region, with disembarkation ports including Hong Kong and Benoa, Bali. The variety of trip lengths — from short breaks to extended voyages with a median of 14 nights — means there is a pace to suit everyone, whether you are after a fortnight away or something more immersive.

Japan sailings from Singapore

For travellers with Japan on their list, a Singapore departure makes the journey feel manageable. Ships sail north through the region before arriving into Tokyo or Yokohama (Tokyo). These voyages tend to run longer, which gives you time to absorb the ports along the route rather than rushing. If Japan cruises in 2027 are your focus, our dedicated Japan cruises 2027 page covers the full picture.

Singapore to Australia sailings

A smaller but popular group of sailings heads south from Singapore, finishing in Sydney. These are one-way repositioning voyages — the ship travels south and you connect home by domestic flight from Sydney. CruiseAway can add that return leg, along with any hotel nights you want in Sydney, to keep everything in one booking. See the dedicated cruise from Singapore to Australia 2027 page, or if Sydney is your goal, the Singapore to Sydney cruise 2027 page goes even deeper.

What does a one-way itinerary mean in practice?

More than two thirds of the sailings here are one-way — the ship departs Singapore and ends somewhere else, often Hong Kong, Tokyo, Yokohama or Sydney. That means your embarkation and disembarkation cities are different, and you will need a flight at one or both ends. This is not a problem, but it is worth planning for. Our team handles this routinely: we can book your outbound flight to Singapore, your cruise, and your return flight from whichever city the voyage finishes in — all in one go, with hotel nights wherever you need them. Do not leave the connecting flight as something to sort out later.

Which cruise lines sail from Singapore in 2027?

Royal Caribbean leads the departure list from Singapore in 2027, followed closely by Princess Cruises. Celebrity Cruises and Oceania Cruises each have a strong showing, with Silversea Cruises and Azamara covering the luxury and destination-immersive end of the market respectively. Each line brings a distinct style — from Royal Caribbean’s activity-focused megaships to Silversea’s intimate, all-inclusive ships — so the choice of line is as important as the itinerary. Our cruise experts can walk you through the differences.

Ships sailing from Singapore in 2027

Navigator of the Seas — Royal Caribbean

Navigator of the Seas is Royal Caribbean’s most active Singapore ship in 2027. If you travel with people who want to stay busy, this is the ship: The Blaster aqua coaster is the longest waterslide at sea, FlowRider lets you surf on deck, and Battle for Planet Z delivers glow-in-the-dark laser tag. Evenings bring ice shows in Studio B and live theatre productions. Navigator is not a ship you can exhaust in a fortnight. See the full Navigator of the Seas cabins and deck plans before you choose your grade.

Navigator of the Seas cabin grades

• Inside cabin with Promenade view (2T) — 15.5 m²: A window looking directly onto the Royal Promenade gives you a view of the ship’s indoor street — the atmosphere of a lively boulevard from your cabin, something standard inside cabins do not have.
• Ultra spacious Ocean-view cabin (1K) — 30.5 m²: Roughly twice the floor space of a standard ocean-view, sleeping up to 6 — the practical choice for families or anyone who wants room to breathe.
• Balcony cabin (1B spacious) — 18.9 m²: Around 1 m² more than a standard balcony cabin — a small difference on paper, practical on longer sailings.
• Royal Suite (RS with large balcony) — 117.1 m²: The largest suite on board at 117 m², with a grand piano and a living area that makes two weeks at sea feel like a residence, not a cabin.

Sapphire Princess — Princess Cruises

Fresh from a 2025 refit programme, Sapphire Princess carries new restaurants, refreshed cabins and a revitalised Lotus Spa. The Sanctuary adults-only pool deck is the draw for many — private cabanas, cold towels, serenity stewards — a genuinely quiet corner on a ship of this size. Princess Cruises also deploys Sapphire on the Princess Cruises Australia 2026–2027 season, so if your plans extend beyond Singapore, there is continuity in the fleet.

Sapphire Princess cabin grades

• Inside cabin (IA) — 15.6 m²: Mid-deck position with central lift access — quieter than upper decks, more stable than lower ones, sleeping up to 4.
• Premium Sea-view cabin (O5) — 18.3 m²: A large panoramic window with a forward bow view brings in natural daylight and a wide-open sea outlook that inside cabins cannot offer.
• Balcony cabin (B2) — 25.7 m²: Your own private balcony with direct access to sea air — the thing inside and ocean-view guests do not get.
• Grand Suite (S1) — 123.5 m²: The largest suite aboard at over 123 m², with a separate living room and dining area — twice the space of a Penthouse suite.

Diamond Princess — Princess Cruises

Diamond Princess carries something genuinely distinctive: Izumi bathhouse, a traditional Japanese onsen at sea. On a Singapore sailing that heads north toward Japan, soaking in the hot spring baths while the coastline passes is a ritual worth planning around. Broadway productions in the Princess Theatre and Skywalkers Nightclub 15 decks above the waterline round out the evenings. Check the Diamond Princess cabins and deck plans if you are weighing up grades.

Diamond Princess cabin grades

• Inside cabin (IA) — 15.6 m²: Mid-deck, quiet, central lift access — solid base for a port-intensive itinerary where you are rarely in the cabin.
• Premium Ocean-view cabin (O5, bow position) — 18.3 m²: Panoramic window with a wide forward sea view and natural daylight throughout the day.
• Balcony cabin (B2) — 25.7 m²: Private balcony with seating — your own patch of sea air that interior and ocean-view guests have to come up to the deck for.
• Grand Suite (S1) — 123.5 m²: At approximately 123.5 m², nearly twice the space of the Owner’s Suite — the largest cabin aboard.

Celebrity Millennium — Celebrity Cruises

A US A$500 pp* million Celebrity Revolution refit gave Celebrity Millennium fresher cabins, a livelier Martini Bar and a Rooftop Terrace where open-air films and live music run into the evening. The ship has held a voted Best Onboard Dining title for eight consecutive years — Tuscan Grille Italian and Sushi on Five are the flagships of a strong restaurant line-up. See the Celebrity Millennium cabins and deck plans for the full grade breakdown.

Seabourn Encore — Seabourn

Seabourn Encore operates at the quieter, more personal end of the luxury market — an intimate ship with a design that draws comparisons to a five-star hotel rather than a cruise liner. Dining is complimentary and elegant throughout. For travellers who want fewer fellow passengers and more considered service, Seabourn’s style of cruising is a real alternative to the larger ships. The Seabourn Encore cabins and deck plans show how the space is divided.

What fare types are available?

Royal Caribbean offers a standard cruise fare alongside promotional fare types such as last-minute offers and early-booking bonuses with onboard credit. Princess Cruises sells a base Standard fare and a Princess Plus tier — the Plus package adds casual dining meals per voyage, beverages, MedallionNet Wi-Fi, crew appreciation and reserved theatre seating, which can simplify budgeting considerably on a longer sailing. Celebrity Cruises offers a cruise-only rate, a value tier with classic drinks and basic Wi-Fi included, and a premium Retreat tier covering suite accommodation, private dining and a dedicated sundeck. Our cruise experts can compare what each tier actually gives you on your specific sailing — it is rarely obvious from the names alone.

When is the best time to cruise from Singapore?

Singapore operates year-round as a departure port, and 2027 sailings spread across the calendar from early in the year through to late in the year. The itinerary you want — South East Asia, Japan, or a longer voyage toward Australia or Africa — matters more than the month for most travellers. Japan-focused sailings tend to cluster in the first half of the year. If you are flexible on timing, our cruise experts can match a departure to your schedule rather than the other way around. For a broader view of 2027 availability across the region, the cruises around Australia 2027 page and our full 2027 cruises hub are useful starting points.

How to choose the right Singapore sailing

Start with the shape of the trip: round-trip sailings return you to Singapore at the end, which keeps the logistics simple — one flight each way and you are done. One-way sailings give you a different arrival city, which can be a feature rather than a complication if you want to see Tokyo or Sydney on the same trip. After that, the line and the ship narrow it down. If activity and scale matter, Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas is the natural lead. If a more intimate or all-inclusive experience suits you better, Silversea or Seabourn are worth a serious look. Princess suits travellers who want reliable comfort and a wide choice of itinerary lengths — the Princess 2027–2028 season has plenty of depth from Singapore. On cabin grade, a longer sailing rewards the upgrade more than a short one: an extra balcony matters more across 14 nights than 7.

Are there discounts on Singapore cruises in 2027?

A large share of sailings carry a reduced price against what was previously listed for that cabin grade. Reductions of around 12% are typical across discounted departures, with the occasional deeper cut — up to 43% on a single departure — where inventory has been released late. Our Best Price Guarantee means that if you find the same sailing at a lower price elsewhere, we will match it.

Make it a full holiday

Singapore is not a city you fly into and walk straight onto a ship. Most Australians benefit from at least a night either side — and many want more. CruiseAway can build the whole trip: flights from your home city, hotel nights in Singapore, the cruise itself, transfers between airport, hotel and port, and any tours you want along the way. We put it all on one booking so nothing falls through the cracks. That is what our DreamAway Packages are built for. If you are also considering sailings closer to home, the Princess Cruises from Sydney 2027 and Princess Cruises from Brisbane 2027 pages show what is available without the flight to Singapore.

Also worth considering in 2027

If you are open to different embarkation points or regions, several strong 2027 options sit alongside Singapore sailings. Cruises from Sydney to New Zealand in 2027 are popular with east-coast travellers, and cruises from Sydney to Hawaii in 2027 suit anyone after a longer Pacific voyage. The Mediterranean cruises 2027 page covers the other major international season running in parallel. For Princess specifically, the Princess Cruises Around Australia 2027 itineraries and Princess Cruises to Tasmania 2027 sailings offer a no-fly alternative for those who prefer to board closer to home.
