Bars and Lounges

Schooner Bar

Wrap up your night at Schooner Bar, where perfectly mixed cocktails and live entertainment come together in a warmly lit nautical-themed lounge. Cosy up in a seat under the mast, by the portholes or right by the gleaming grand piano. The sing-along’s about to begin.

Bionic Bar

At Bionic Bar®, meet two robotic bartenders who know how to shake, stir and mix up your night out. With moves as fluid as the Pimm’s in your cup, these mecha mixologists can create an almost endless combination of cocktails, from classic cosmos to custom-crafted sips designed by you.

Royal Caribbean Productions, our own in-house production company, brings together world-class performers to star in awe-inspiring original shows from contemporary dance to headline musical acts, high diving, aerial acrobatics and more.

The Silk Road

Using the groundbreaking 12k visual capacities and 36-axis robotics of Two70®, The Silk Road™ takes the audience on an unforgettable journey back in time along the ancient Silk Road, where you’ll experience exotic cultures as you travel to countries like Persia, India and China.

Savour an exotic tapestry of authentic spices and wow-worthy Asian-inspired flavours while feasting your eyes on endless views for the whole table at Sichuan Red®, Designed just for Spectrum of the Seas®, this is one game-changing speciality dining experience that foodies won’t want to miss.

CHEF’S TABLE

Welcome to Chef’s Table, the most exclusive and elevated dining experience on our fleet. Join an intimate group of fellow foodies on a private epicurean journey led by the ship’s Chef de Cuisine. You’ll sit down to a white-tablecloth dinner spotlighting five exquisite courses that range from scallop carpaccio with yuzu vinaigrette, to grilled filet mignon served with truffle potato puree – each expertly paired with the perfect wine to highlight every flavour on the menu.

CHOPS GRILLE℠

For more than a decade, the chefs at Chops Grille have specialised in serving up quality, hand-cut meat. Dinner at this hallmark Royal Caribbean speciality restaurant goes far beyond the typical steakhouse experience, though, with reimagined classics like succulent Maine lobster, gruyere cheese potato croquettes, white truffle-scented mushroom soup and of course, expertly prepared prime beef.

WONDERLAND

Wonderland Imaginative Cuisine is all about pushing the culinary envelope. Dishes are designed to tantalise your taste buds and present a visual feast. Find crispy crab cones topped with fluffy avocado mousse, gazpacho served with pepper spheres and bread foam, and dreamy desserts that will take your breath away. Pair your meal with cocktails described as ‘magical’ elixirs crafted to deliver full-sensory experiences.

Day 1-3 – Pre-Cruise Stay in Doubletree by Hilton, Shanghai

Nestled in the heart of Shanghai’s vibrant Pudong district, DoubleTree by Hilton Shanghai offers a luxurious retreat with modern amenities and warm hospitality. From the moment you step into the elegant lobby, you’ll be greeted with the signature DoubleTree chocolate chip cookie, setting the tone for a delightful stay. The hotel boasts spacious and stylish guest rooms and suites, each thoughtfully designed with contemporary furnishings and panoramic views of the iconic Shanghai skyline. Indulge your taste buds at the hotel’s diverse dining options, including innovative Chinese cuisine at Yilong Court, international delights at The Stage, and handcrafted cocktails at the sleek X-Sensation Bar. After a day of exploring the city, unwind with a refreshing dip in the indoor pool, pamper yourself with a treatment at the spa, or maintain your fitness routine at the well-equipped gym.

Day 4 – Embark>Shanghai

Called Hu for short, glamorous Shanghai is China’s largest city, and it reverberates with echoes of China’s past. But at the same time, it’s a city with its eyes on the future, where Gothic and neoclassical architecture contrasts space-age skyscrapers. Cruise to Shanghai and visit the Bund, a historic neighbourhood on the west side of the Huangpu River, where you can still see buildings from the city’s past prior to 1949. Across the way on the east side, you can gaze up at the futuristic towers of Pudong. See decorative bronze artifacts dating back to the 18th century BC at the Shanghai Museum. Then, head to the Old City, where you can wander the bustling narrow streets inside the fortified walls, take in the smell of incense and sip longjing green tea at a traditional teahouse.

Day 5 – At Sea

Day 6- Nagasaki

A beautiful and bustling city, Nagasaki’s streets have been touched by foreign culture for generations. This is the port by which the Portuguese and Dutch brought Japan into contact with Western culture in the 1500s, and over the years, international influence has continued to transform Nagasaki into the hub of cosmopolitan activity it is today. Explore the Dutch Slope, where you’ll find Dutch residences from the 1800s and Japan’s first Protestant Church, Higashi Yamate. Cruise to Nagasaki to see the oldest bridge in Japan, Megane-bashi — or “Spectacles Bridge,” so called for its arched appearance. Then, visit Nagasaki Peace Park, with its 18-meter-wide fountain built to memorialize the events that took place here when the atomic bomb struck in 1945.

Day 7 – Fukuoka

Fukuoka, on the northern shore of Japan’s Kyushu Island, is known for ancient temples and beautiful beaches. Explore the 17th-century ruins of Fukuoka Castle in Maizuru Park. Then head to the central Hakata district, home to Tocho-ji Temple, where a 10-meter wooden Buddha sits. Cruise to Fukuoka and dive deeper into history at the Hakata Machiya Folk Museum, with displays on daily life in the Meiji and Taisho eras. Slurp ramen noodles in rich tonkotsu broth at one of the city’s yatai (outdoor food stalls), then walk it off with a stroll along the winding canals. Pop into Shofukuji Zen temple for some quiet reflection. Or embrace the bustle instead and head to Canal City Hakata, one of Japan’s largest shopping complexes.

Day 8 – At Sea

Day 9 – Shanghai>Disembark
