ROYAL Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas will cruise from Sydney and Brisbane respectively in 2026-2027, the line has announced.
The pair will sail a combination of three- to 11-night getaways to an array of destinations across Australia, the South Pacific, and New Zealand between Oct 2026 and Apr 2027.
The new cruises are available to book now, with passengers able to sail from Sydney on two four-night getaways to Hobart, or venture further to discover the South Pacific.
There are also all-new nine-night NZ getaways to destinations like Wellington, Napier, Dunedin, and Milford Sound.
The season will kick off with a 25-night cruise from Los Angeles to Sydney, visiting Hawai’i, French Polynesia, and Catalina Island.
Quantum will also make her comeback to Brisbane in Oct for her fourth year as the largest ship in the region.
Sun-seekers can choose from 28 holidays ranging from three to eight nights, exploring the South Pacific across destinations such as Noumea and Vanuatu.
The season will feature two eight-night tropical getaways over Christmas and the New Year, while cruisers can also choose from four- to seven-night Queensland coast cruises to Airlie Beach and Cairns.
The 4,200-passenger ship’s 2026-27 line-up will also feature more seven-night getaways departing over the weekend.
“Australians know they can trust Royal Caribbean for getaways that combine convenience with non-stop adventure,” Vice President & MD Gavin Smith said.
“This season, we’re continuing to raise the bar with more short getaways, weekend departures, and more ways to maximise island time across the top destinations of the South Pacific,”
“With the variety of short and more frequent getaways in 2026 and 2027, every type of holidaymaker can make the most of their travels and without compromise,” he added. MS
