Currently, Quantum of the Seas is offering ocean getaways to Singapore residents and was the first ship in the fleet to restart operations at the end of 2020. The ship is sailing with updated protocols in place due to a surge in cases in Singapore. The situation will likely be different by the time Spectrum of the Seas begins cruising in October 2022.
Spectrum of the Seas is currently offering cruises out of Hong Kong, and after some further delays in resuming operations, the first voyage will finally depart on October 14, 2021. The ship is the second Quantum Ultra-class ship identical to sister ship Odyssey of the Seas and an evolution to Quantum of the Seas.
