Royal Caribbean will deploy two new ships for the 2025-26 Australian season, including the debut of Anthem of the Seas sailing from Sydney. Voyager of the Seas will also return Down Under to homeport from Brisbane for the first time.
The addition of Anthem of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas adds 45 long and short cruise itineraries to the South Pacific, New Zealand and Australia from November 2025 to April 2026 with bookings now open. Both ships will also offer six Wiggly Sailings.
New to Australia, Anthem of the Seas will arrive in Sydney in November 2025, sailing on 24 cruises of up to 18 nights and visiting New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific.
Anthem of the Seas will also offer short two- to four-night getaways featuring coastal cruises from Sydney.
Like Quantum and Ovation of the Seas, Anthem’s onboard experiences span adrenaline-fuelled fun to Broadway-style entertainment, such as RipCord by iFly and SeaPlex – the largest indoor activity space at sea. Onboard dining options include Johnny Rockets burgers, Jamie’s Italian and an English pub.
Voyager of the Seas will venture from Brisbane for the first time in December 2025 with 20 sailings, including a new destination, Luganville in Vanuatu.
Voyager will offer seven- to nine-night South Pacific escapes, shorter Queensland coastal cruises plus a special 12-night Singapore to Brisbane via Bali and Darwin sailing in December.
On board, cruisers can enjoy the three-storey The Perfect Storm waterslides, ice-skating, mini golf and laser tag.
