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.
