Every Aussie needs a break on the horizon, as much as the first flat white of the day. But we don’t all have the time to take long jaunts right now, which is why Royal Caribbean’s short cruises are the ultimate getaway hack. Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas® has a heap of short getaways on offer from Brisbane between now and April.
Weekenders, or 4-night sailings to the Whitsundays are ideal for quick family getaways, group trips with besties, or time away with a loved one without distractions.
Well, some distractions, obviously, because Royal Caribbean is famous for its onboard activities, dining, and entertainment!
How to make a few days last a week
If you’ve ever been on a cruise you’ll know that time extends. A few days on Quantum of the Seas® will have you fully recharged in the shortest time.
A break from the mundane, with fabulous entertainment and cool activities and not a single dish to wash. Ah, bliss!
Even on short getaways, your clients return home refreshed, with so many things to do that the first day back at work is packed full of stories.
Short sailaways
While the Quantum of the Seas® has many voyage lengths (up to two weeks), the shorter itineraries are the ideal way to take a break without ripping into too much of the annual leave or breaking the bank.
In fact, with Royal Caribbean’s two and three night weekend breaks your clients can get away with no vacay days booked if they’re smart about it. And by smart, we mean they book with you because you know how to make time bend more than the average person! Cabin prices start from only $399 per person twin share.
There’s also the two-night Short Getaway from Brisbane to Sydney from $399, a three-night roundtrip jaunt from Brisbane, and the epic four-night Whitsunday break from only $699pp.
Let them entertain you (all)
It’s not just time away that allows a reset but how well everyone is catered for on a Royal Caribbean holiday.
While you and your plus one/mate/partner/kids can, of course, spend every minute together, the beauty of the Quantum of the Seas® means there’s something to entertain everyone.
Entertainment comes in many forms, including:
- Broadway-style shows, live music, and themed events
- FlowRider® surf simulator
- Seaplex® activity centre with bumper cars, roller skating, and more
- Kids and teens clubs
- Adults-only solarium
- Fitness centre with classes
- Water shows
- Deck parties
- Ripcord by iFly®
- Laser tag
- The Royal Escape Room
- Spa treatments (parents need pampering)
Getting the Group Trip out of the Group Chat
A Royal Caribbean mini break is the ultimate way to switch things up when your group is short of time.
Trying to organise that group trip is hard going. Everyone wants to do different things, and the price adds up quickly.
With Royal Caribbean so much is included in the price and it’s the ultimate crowd pleaser.
Get a few cabins together on a short sailing for your clients and the commission really adds up! Better yet, it’s a fantastic way to grow your client base, especially with people who have never considered a cruise before.
