Royal Caribbean, in collaboration with PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo), will celebrate a milestone for Southeast Asian cruising as Anthem of the Seas docks in Bali for the first time on February 27, 2025.

Originally scheduled as a tendering stop, the ship will now dock directly in Benoa, providing a more seamless experience for guests. The achievement results from Royal Caribbean’s 14-year partnership with Pelindo, highlighting their joint efforts to enhance cruise tourism in the region.

“The ability to dock alongside in Benoa is a game-changer for Bali as a cruise destination, demonstrating the port’s growing capabilities to welcome some of the world’s largest and most advanced ships, such as Anthem of the Seas,” said Arief Suhartono – President Director of Pelindo.

The Ovation of the Seas will also dock in Bali in April 2025, further expanding Royal Caribbean’s regional presence.
