Voyager of the Seas, which is the lead ship in the Voyager class ships in the fleet of Royal Caribbean International, will receive a $97 million upgrade in the autumn that includes 72 new cabins, parent company Royal Caribbean Cruises ltd (RCCL) said in a statement.

It will be the fourth ship reimagined as part of the Royal Amplified fleet modernisation effort built on research and guest feedback. “The cruise line's investment of more than $1.0 billion spans 10 ships in four years and touches every facet of the guest experience,” RCCL said in a statement.

“From The Perfect Storm duo of racer waterslides to the reinvigorated Vitality Spa and redesigned kids and teens spaces, Voyager will tout a thrilling combination of experiences that makes for an unforgettable family vacation to far-flung destinations on the other side of the world,” RCCL stated.

The ship will also receive a total of 72 inside and balcone cabins, a Suite Lounge and outdoor area – exclusively for guests in Grand Suites and above; and the Diamond Lounge for members of Royal Caribbean's Crown & Anchor Society loyalty program. “The reimagined ship will also feature the new Royal Caribbean International mobile app. Travelers can soon check in for their cruise vacation from their phone, and once on board, the app will deliver an array of capabilities. From exploring and planning activities for each day,” RCCL said.

Beginning 21 October , the newly transformed ship will set sail on a series of  three to five night Southeast Asia itineraries from Singapore, followed by a season with nine  to 12 night South Pacific cruises from Sydney, Australia, starting on 30 November.
