Commenting on the latest sailings, Mr. Varun Chadha, CEO, Tirun said, “The dedicated year-round sailing with an itinerary developed keeping in mind the Asian guests is of growing interest to the Indian outbound travel. Royal Caribbean International has also transformed its ships, from infrastructure to experiences, to maximize the convenience of travelers from the sub-continent. Customized menus, a culturally aware crew well-versed in multiple languages and an aesthetic sense that pays homage to the rich Oriental legacy-Royal Caribbean International’s ships are equipped with all this and more. These sailings will surely make travellers from the sub-continent, and all over the world, be proud of what Asia stands for.”
Further focusing on the convenience factor, while cruising onboard a Royal Caribbean cruise guests will not require a Japanese visa, only a Chinese visa would suffice. The cruises depart from Beijing and Shanghai in China and travel to destinations such as Nagasaki, Fukuoka, Shimonoseki, Kumamoto, Kyoto, Kagoshima, Okinawa and others in Japan.
