Royal Caribbean is expanding its 2027-28 Australian summer lineup with its ships Ovation of the Seas, Voyager of the Seas, and Anthem of the Seas.

Ovation will make Brisbane home alongside Voyager, while Anthem returns to Sydney.

The three-ship lineup will deliver a combination of two- to 12-night holidays from October 2027 to April 2028, ranging from weekend getaways, tropical escapes exploring Australia, breathtaking New Zealand and the sun-soaked South Pacific.

“This season is a major milestone for our region with three bold ships,” Royal Caribbean vice president and managing director of Australia and New Zealand Gavin Smith said. “We’re thrilled to welcome more Royal Caribbean adventures Down Under, led by Aussie favourite Ovation of the Seas returning newly amplified and sailing from Queensland with even more ways to dine, unwind and make memories.”

Summer 2027-2028 highlights

  • Ovation offers new family escapes ranging from three- to eight-nights starting in November 2027, plus a 16-night transpacific sailing from Honolulu, Hawaii to Brisbane visiting picturesque French Polynesia.
  • Onboard Ovation, from Brisbane, guests can enjoy two four-night Whitsundays getaways to Airlie Beach for perfect beach days in Queensland’s own backyard.
  • From October to December 2027, Voyager will deliver holidays kicking off with a 25-night long adventure from Seattle to Brisbane via Honolulu, Hawaii and Moorea, Papeete, and Raiatea in French Polynesia.
  • Voyager will then call Queensland home with sailings from Brisbane ranging from 2- to 11-nights, including South Pacific holidays to Noumea, Lifou, Mystery Island, Port Vila, and Luganville.
  • From October 2027, Anthem will offer three- to 17-night holidays, from quick three-night escapes to South Pacific sailings.
  • Onboard Anthem, travellers can enjoy New Zealand holidays ranging from nine- to 12-nights bring families to iconic destinations including Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Milford Sound.

Royal Caribbean is also extending Navigator of the Seas’ Singapore season through to October 2027. Navigator will offer two- to five-night escapes to Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand, alongside a 12-night sailing from Tokyo to Singapore.

The expanded 2027-28 holidays lineup will open for bookings on Royal Caribbean’s website from 18 August.
