Royal Caribbean cancels 2027 Navigator and Ovation sailings for Asia-Pacific expansion

RCI-Royal Caribbean has cancelled many 2027 sailings aboard Navigator of the Seas and Ovation of the Seas as the two ships are being redeployed to support the expanded Asia-Pacific programme.

The affected voyages were scheduled to operate from Los Angeles with calls at Mexican ports. The cancellations follow RCI's recently announced 2027-2028 deployment, which expands the company's presence in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan.

Navigator OTS will remain in the Asia-Pacific region year-round from October 2026 through October 2027, while Ovation OTS is being repositioned to Brisbane.

RCI said itinerary changes were part of its normal operational planning and could be required to accommodate scheduling requirements, port agreements and other considerations.

RCI confirmed that affected guests and travel partners had been contacted directly regarding the cancellations and the available arrangements.
