Navigator of the Seas is a Royal Caribbean International cruise ship of the Voyager class, in service since 2002. She measures 139,999 gross tons and carries 3,386 guests with a crew of 1,200. She sails Asia itineraries. We rate her 4.0 out of 5.
Navigator of the Seas entered service in December 2002 as a second-generation Voyager-class ship, with glass-fronted balcony cabins that extend from the hull, and was named by tennis champion Steffi Graf. A 2014 dry dock added 81 cabins and a FlowRider, and a US$115 million refit in January 2019 raised her capacity to about 4,000 guests and her tonnage to 139,999. After several years based in Los Angeles, she now sails from Singapore, mostly on short trips to Penang, Phuket and Langkawi, with occasional voyages to and from Tokyo.
Navigator of the Seas is bigger than 84% of the 418 cruise ships in service on Cruises Frog with a tonnage on record, and carries more guests than 87%. At 41.3 gross tons per guest she is roomier than 59% of 416; the median ship is 39.4.
