Royal Caribbean is gearing up for its Australia season, highlighted by the debut of Royal Beach Club Lelepa, the line’s first exclusive destination in the Southern Hemisphere.
Set to launch as part of the 2027–2028 Australia summer season, the new beach club will be located in Vanuatu and featured on all South Pacific itineraries sailing from Sydney and Brisbane beginning in October 2027.
The expanded deployment includes Anthem of the Seas sailing from Sydney and Voyager of the Seas from Brisbane, offering a mix of 2- to 25-night itineraries across Australia, the South Pacific and New Zealand.Â
Royal Beach Club LelepaÂ
Royal Beach Club Lelepa represents an expansion of Royal Caribbean’s private destination portfolio, bringing an all-inclusive beach day experience to the South Pacific.
The destination will feature two beach environments—an adults-only retreat and a family-friendly beach with organized activities—along with hiking trails, snorkeling and cultural elements tied to the island. The experience will include dining and beverage options, as well as beach amenities such as loungers, umbrellas and towels.
Expanded Itineraries from Sydney and Brisbane
From Sydney, Anthem of the Seas will operate 24 sailings ranging from three to 17 nights. These include short South Pacific getaways as well as longer voyages to New Zealand, with calls in destinations such as Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Milford Sound. The ship will also offer a 17-night transpacific sailing from Honolulu to Australia.
From Brisbane, Voyager of the Seas will deliver 29 itineraries ranging from two to 25 nights. The deployment includes 7-night South Pacific cruises calling on destinations such as Noumea, Lifou, Mystery Island and Port Vila, as well as shorter 4-night getaways to the Whitsundays, including Airlie Beach.
Both ships will feature Royal Caribbean’s signature onboard attractions, including the RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator, FlowRider surf simulator and North Star observation capsule on Anthem. Dining venues such as Izumi, Chops Grille and Giovanni’s Table, along with headline entertainment, round out the onboard experience. Bookings for the new season are now open through Royal Caribbean.
