The season will see the debut of Royal Beach Club Lelepa, a new exclusive destination in Vanuatu and the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

The club will feature on all South Pacific itineraries from October 2027 and will offer two beaches, including an adults only retreat and a family focused area, alongside activities such as snorkelling, hiking and beach games.

The destination also includes dining and beverage options, with multiple bars and all day dining included as part of the experience.

Gavin Smith, Vice President and Managing Director Australia and New Zealand, Royal Caribbean, said the launch represents a major step for the brand in the region.

“We know Australian travellers love the South Pacific and Lelepa brings a completely new experience they will not find anywhere else,” he said.

Expanded sailings from Sydney and Brisbane

Anthem of the Seas will operate from Sydney, offering three- to 17-night itineraries including short getaways, South Pacific cruises and New Zealand voyages.

Voyager of the Seas will sail from Brisbane with two- to 25-night itineraries, including South Pacific holidays, Whitsundays escapes and longer transpacific journeys.

The expanded program includes more weekend departures and seasonal sailings, including Christmas and New Year itineraries.

The new season reflects growing demand for flexible cruise options, combining short breaks with longer, destination focused journeys across the South Pacific and New Zealand.

Meanwhile Quantum of the Seas will return to Singapore for the 2027 to 2028 season, offering a range of three- to 10-night itineraries across Asia.

Operating from October 2027 to March 2028, the program will give travellers the opportunity to explore destinations including Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Japan, with all sailings departing from Singapore.

Chad Grospe, Vice President and Managing Director Asia Pacific, Royal Caribbean, said the return of the ship reflects strong demand in the region.

“Quantum of the Seas has become a familiar favourite for guests across Asia, and we are excited to bring these adventures back to Singapore,” he added.
