From October 2027 to April 2028, Royal will offer a wide selection of short breaks, weekend sailings and longer trips spread across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. Departures have been set from Sydney on Anthem of the Seas and from Brisbane on Voyager of the Seas.

Onboard, both ships will continue to focus on offering engaging entertainment and activities, ranging from skydiving simulators to surf machines, live shows, dining options, and family-friendly attractions.
Bookings for the 2027-2028 season are now open, with the cruise line betting on strong demand from Australian travelers looking for flexible and experience-driven holidays.
