Royal Caribbean Unveils Epic 25-Night Cruise from L.A. to Australia

Royal Caribbean has unveiled exciting new cruises for the 2026–2027 season, including a headline-grabbing 25-night voyage from Los Angeles to Australia. Two Quantum Class ships – Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas – will be sailing in the region, offering a mix of long-haul adventures and shorter getaways from Brisbane and Sydney.

Sail from Los Angeles to Australia on a 25-Night Pacific Adventure

The centrepiece of the new programme is an epic 25-night cruise aboard Quantum of the Seas, departing Los Angeles on 26 September 2026. This unforgettable voyage takes in some of the most stunning destinations across the Pacific before arriving in Australia.

Itinerary highlights include:

• Catalina Island, California
• Kona, Hawaii
• Honolulu, Hawaii (overnight stay)
• Raiatea, French Polynesia
• Papeete, Tahiti
• Moorea, French Polynesia

Shorter Cruises from Brisbane on Quantum of the Seas

Once in Australia, Quantum of the Seas will offer a series of 4- to 7-night sailings from Brisbane. These cruises are ideal for families, first-timers, or anyone seeking a quick island escape without venturing too far from home.

Anthem of the Seas to Offer 21 Cruises from Sydney

Meanwhile, Anthem of the Seas will be based in Sydney, launching 21 cruises ranging from 3 to 11 nights. Destinations include the scenic South Pacific and the rugged beauty of New Zealand.

Among the most popular itineraries are 9-night cruises to New Zealand, visiting:

• Wellington
• Napier
• Dunedin
• Milford Sound

Royal Caribbean’s Commitment to Australian Cruisers

Gavin Smith, Vice President and Managing Director of Royal Caribbean Australia and New Zealand, said:

“Australians know they can trust Royal Caribbean for getaways that combine convenience with nonstop adventure. 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.”

Cutting-Edge Features on Both Ships

The two Quantum Class ships are packed with innovative attractions and entertainment, including:

• RipCord by iFly – a skydiving simulator
• FlowRider – a surf simulator
• North Star – an observation capsule with 360° ocean views
• Two70 – an immersive multimedia venue with floor-to-ceiling windows

These floating resorts offer a blend of high-tech thrills and relaxing luxury.

This announcement is the second-to-last in Royal Caribbean’s 2026–2027 deployment series. The final reveal – cruises from Singapore – will be shared during the week of 12 May 2025.
