Royal Caribbean Releases 2025-2026 Australia Itineraries

Royal Caribbean has released its 2025-2026 Australia Itineraries. In the coming year, the cruise line will offer a total of 45 long and short getaways to the South Pacific, New Zealand, and Australia, sailing between November 2025 and April 2026. 

New for the season will be the Down Under debut of Anthem of the Seas, which will homeport from Sydney. Voyager of the Seas is set to return to Australia, homeporting from Brisbane.

“Between the excitement of Anthem of the Seas making its Australian debut, Voyager’s return Down Under and more weekend getaways than ever before, the 2025-2026 summer season is one for the books. Every kind of holidaymaker can make memories in more ways than one with a varied line-up, from short getaways to a longer sailing from Asia, and new experiences like the show-stopping ‘We Will Rock You’ musical production, ice-skating shows and six exclusive family adventures created by Royal Caribbean and the Wiggly Friends,” said Gavin Smith, Royal Caribbean’s vice president and managing director of Australia and New Zealand. 

Anthem of the Seas will arrive in Sydney in November 2025. This ship offers a RipCord by iFly, SeaPlex (the largest indoor activity space at sea), Latin-themed club Boleros, the English pub, and Jamie’s Italian. Guests will also be entertained by Royal Caribbean’s rendition of the Olivier Award-winning musical phenomenon “We Will Rock You”, featuring Queen’s iconic hits. 

For 2025-2026, Anthem of the Seas will offer a total of 24 three to 18-night cruises that will explore top destinations across New Zealand, Australia, and the islands of the South Pacific. Featured sailings include a 5-night getaway to Hobart, Australia as well as 9- to 12-night cruises to New Zealand. Also planned are more short getaways than ever before, with five two- to four-night coastal cruises.

Voyager of the Seas will sail from Brisbane for the first time starting in December 2025. This ship features The Perfect Storm waterslides, ice skating at Studio B, mini golf, and Battle for Planet Z laser tag. Stage shows include the “Ice Odyssey” ice skating show and the “Broadway Rhythm & Rhyme” show with famous show tunes. 

In the coming season, guests can choose from any of Voyager of the Seas’ 20 cruises. Highlights include voyages in the South Pacific with seven- to nine-night sailings to Noumea (New Caledonia), Port Vila (Luganville) and Mystery Island (Vanuatu). Royal Caribbean will add Luganville (Vanuatu) as a new destination in its lineup of cruises for Voyager of the Seas. 

Summer of 2025 will bring the debut of six ‘Wiggly Sailings’ a new signature experience for Royal Caribbean. These sailings will feature the Wiggly Friends, a family event where young travelers and their loved ones can enjoy character events and live concerts. These special voyages will take place on Anthem of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas. 

These newly announced 2025-2026 Royal Caribbean cruises in Australia and New Zealand are now open for booking.
