Royal Caribbean has announced its most ambitious Australian summer season to date, headlined by the debut of the Royal Beach Club Lelepa, the company’s first exclusive cruise destination in the South Pacific. Set to open in 2027, the private island experience in Vanuatu will redefine beach days for travelers sailing from Australia.

From October 2027 through April 2028, guests will have expanded options for short getaways and extended vacations aboard Anthem of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas, departing from Sydney and Brisbane. Itineraries range from 2 to 25 nights and include voyages across Australia, the South Pacific, and New Zealand. The new Royal Beach Club Lelepa will be a central highlight, offering two pristine beaches, water activities such as snorkeling and kayaking, and an all-inclusive experience with local cuisine and 10 bars.

The season also features holiday sailings for Christmas and New Year, as well as transpacific crossings from Honolulu and Seattle. Onboard, guests can enjoy signature attractions such as the RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator, FlowRider surf simulator, and world-class entertainment. With this expanded deployment, Royal Caribbean reinforces its position as a leading vacation brand in the region, delivering a new level of immersive travel experiences in the South Pacific.
