Announcing the collaboration

The Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents announced that Royal Caribbean International is the “Cruise Partner” for MATTA Fair March 17 – 19, 2023 at Malaysia International Trade & Exhibition Centre (MITEC), Kuala Lumpur.

With 12 booths taken by the Royal Caribbean International located at International Hall – Level 3, Royal Caribbean is geared to return to the MATTA Fair to offer guests a unique collection of experiences and luxury on the high seas, including a fantastic lineup of itineraries on Royal Caribbean’s Spectrum of the Seas. MATTA Fair visitors can look forward to a sensational “50% off” offer, for sailings departing between February 1, 2023 and March 28 March, 2024.

Visitors visiting the MATTA Fair have the option of selecting short, hassle-free vacations with 3- and 4-night getaways to foodie paradise Penang, Malaysia, and the stunning beach resort of Phuket in Thailand and; 5-, 7-, and 9-night itineraries also explore must-see destinations like Bangkok, Thailand, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Manila, Philippines.

“With cruising continuing to rise as a popular choice of travel among vacationers, we look forward to welcoming more guests on Asia’s largest and most innovative ship, Spectrum of the Seas, that will take guests all over Asia in a mix of short and long cruises. Our 12-night cruises between Singapore and Japan are especially popular amongst both local and international guests – the first sailing is almost fully sold out, and we are thrilled to be able to showcase the beauty of the region with a second set of sailings that will be sure to take guests on an adventure,” said Angie Stephen, Vice President and Managing Director, Asia-Pacific, Royal Caribbean International.

MATTA believes that the demand for international cruise tourism is extraordinary as more people are releasing the experience and the advantages it offers over air or land travel. We trust that the partnership with Royal Caribbean International will be a pull factor to grow Malaysia’s cruise segment and to promote demand for cruise holidays in the region.

It is free admission to the fair and it is open from 10am-9pm for the three days, Friday to Sunday. To reiterate, very frequent shuttle service to MITEC will be provided from KL Sentral and Sunway Putra Mall.
