Bookings are now open for Royal Caribbean’s 2027-28 lineup of Australia and New Zealand cruises.
From October 2027 to April 2028, travelers can enjoy a variety of sailings aboard Anthem of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas. The ships will offer two- to 12-night cruises across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, including the new Royal Beach Club Lelepa.
“As the most trusted holiday partner in Australia, Royal Caribbean continues to raise the bar on the ultimate family holiday with Royal Beach Club Lelepa—a first-of-its-kind destination in the Southern Hemisphere inspired by the natural beauty and spirit of the South Pacific region,” says Gavin Smith, vice president and managing director of Australia and New Zealand for Royal Caribbean.
Located on the island nation of Vanuatu, Royal Beach Club Lelepa will be included in every South Pacific getaway from Sydney and Brisbane starting in October 2027.
Guests can enjoy two beaches, an adults-only retreat, a family beach, hiking, snorkeling and more. The destination will also offer 10 bars and unlimited island eats.
Smith adds: “We know Australian families love holidaying in the South Pacific, and Lelepa takes that to an entirely new level with an experience they won’t find anywhere else in the world. With an expanded lineup of weekend sailings, short escapes and longer ways to holiday, we’re giving travelers even more reasons to explore fan-favorite destinations across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.”
