Itinerary
Hong Kong’s Ocean Terminal port has become a tourist hotspot featuring world-class hotels, restaurants and shopping, and the Kik Tak Cruise Terminal is a newer port located in Victoria Harbor. When it’s time to sightsee, both ports have nearby train transportation and plenty of taxis available.
Head to the top of the Peak Tower for a panoramic view of all of Hong Kong, then shop the Temple Street Night Market. Take a day trip to Macau or for travelers who have been to Hong Kong previously might want to take a tour to Lantau Island to visit to the Po Lin Monastery to see the huge Tian Tan Buddha.
Ovation of the Seas makes sea days a real highlight. Soar above the ocean in the North Star capsule or feel the rush with indoor skydiving at RipCord by iFLY. There’s fun for all ages at SeaPlex—think bumper cars and roller-skating—while foodies can dive into playful plates at Wonderland or enjoy a cozy Italian at Jamie’s. Evenings buzz with live music and Broadway-style shows.
Okinawa, the jewel of Japan’s Ryukyu Islands, offers a unique blend of culture, history, and natural beauty. Start your day with a visit to Shurijo Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcasing the island’s rich heritage. Wander through the vibrant streets of Naha, where you can explore traditional markets and sample local delicacies like Okinawan soba and sata andagi (sweet deep-fried buns).
For nature enthusiasts, Okinawa’s stunning beaches and clear turquoise waters are perfect for snorkeling and diving, especially around the Kerama Islands. Don’t miss the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, home to majestic whale sharks and diverse marine life. Wrap up your day with a stroll along Kokusai Street, enjoying the lively atmosphere and picking up unique souvenirs.
While at sea, take time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, dine at any of the onboard restaurants or explore the thrills on each deck until we arrive at the next destination. Make the most of your day at sea by enjoying our Wi-Fi, drink and Speciality Dining Packages. These services are available at an additional cost.
Home to the amazing Forbidden City and the infamous Tiananmen Square, Beijing is a city that needs no introduction. Choose to visit the beautiful Temple of Heaven, to walk on the centuries-old Great Wall of China, or venture to Xian and see the great terra cotta warriors.
With plenty of character and charm, Tianjin is the gateway port for Beijing and is a vast and impressive city in its own right. As the area was conceded to foreign powers during the Opium Wars it is peppered with historical buildings, temples and palaces. Ships will dock at the Port of Tianjin which is a 2 hour drive from Beijing.
The Tianjin International Cruise Home Port is located approximately 170 km (105 miles) from Beijing. The journey to Beijing takes about 1.5 to 2 hours by high-speed train, which is the most efficient and recommended mode of transportation.

Ship Reviews (8)
The entire trip was very enjoyable and there was numerous activities on board the Ovation of the Seas and incredible musicians entertaining the passengers at various points throughout the cruise, not only the nightly shows. We enjoyed very much the Wellington excursion to the Shipwreck coast which included a visit to Pencarrow Lodge perched high on the cliff with stunning views to the South Island etc. Such a beautiful Lodge which included a lovely morning tea.
Suite class also has 24 hr access to the Concierge Club lounge, with complimentary coffee all day, afternoon hors d'oeuvres and open bar from 5pm - 8pm. Add to that a private sundeck and you have several options to get away from the 4,500 plus passengers on board. (if that’s what you want). Suites are not cheap, and up to the individual to determine if it is worth it for them, but we enjoyed our short stay at that level. We have also found that Royal Caribbean’s boarding process, in Sydney at least, is second to none. With so much being able to be done online prior to boarding, you virtually just walk on, via security of course and ID checks. We’ll cruise with Royal Caribbean and book via Global Journeys again.
