ROYAL Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas has made her debut in Brisbane, making her long-awaited return to Australia.
Voyager will deliver 20 cruises across the season, with the line-up ranging from three-night weekend getaways to 12-night adventures, exploring Queensland and the picturesque South Pacific.
Cruisers can have their pick of 10 three- to seven-night itineraries visiting Airlie Beach and Cairns, while there are also two three-night getaways departing on a Fri, travelling over the weekend.
Passengers can unwind with more island time this season, with 10 seven- to nine-night South Pacific adventures visiting New Caledonia and Vanuatu.
Those looking to spend the holidays kicking back on board can celebrate Christmas with a view on an eight-night getaway, or welcome the new year on a nine-night cruise visiting the South Pacific.
The season’s ultimate adventure is a 25-night transpacific cruise to Seattle to end the season, visiting bucket-list gems across French Polynesia and Hawaii.
“Our award-winning Voyager is an adventure-seeker’s dream, and the perfect holiday match for the spirit of the Sunshine State,” MD Gavin Smith said.
“This season from Brisbane is one for the books with more weekend getaways and more island time than ever before across Queensland and South Pacific destinations, reinforcing the unforgettable memories that families can make on a Royal Caribbean holiday.”
The cruise line’s summer season continues in Sydney, where Anthem of the Seas made her Aussie debut in Oct (CW 31 Oct).
Meanwhile, Royal Caribbean has hosted a ribbon-cutting for its first Royal Beach Club in the Bahamas over the weekend.
The highly anticipated Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will officially open on 23 Dec, with executives and Bahamian government officials gathering at the all-new destination.
It will be the first of three Beach Clubs scheduled to open by Dec 2026, including locations in Santorini and Cozumel.
Paradise Island will feature The Floating Flamingo, the world’s largest swim up bar; the laid-back Chill Beach; and Family Beach, a family-friendly destination.
The opening also precedes the debut of the upcoming Lelepa Beach Destination in Vanuatu (CW 18 Aug), Royal Caribbean’s private destination in the Southern Hemisphere. MS
