For the first time since 2017 and fresh from a multi-million dollar
refurbishment, Radiance of the Seas will be calling Brisbane its home port
for the season. Serenade of the Seas will be visiting Australia & New Zealand
for the first time ever so this will be a fantastic opportunity for you to have a
whole new experience with Royal Caribbean.
Cunard have announced their 2020/21 season featuring Australian
Homeport, World Voyages and sectors.
In 2021, Cunard’s iconic flagship, Queen Mary 2, will embark upon a classic
voyage of global exploration, taking in such diverse regions as Southern
Africa, the Indian Ocean, Australia, Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean.
Queen Victoria sets sail on a Western Circumnavigation of the Globe that is
packed full of ‘must-do’ experiences, while Queen Elizabeth will carry out a
programme of exotic voyages that offer richer, deeper and more regionally-
focused itineraries, including her return to Australia and New Zealand for her
third homeport season. These cruises will be very popular so will sell out fast.
Princess Cruises announced their 2020/2021 Australia & New Zealand
program release, offering 5 ships, over 70 itineraries, visiting over 80
destinations across a total of 123 departures.
Two Royal ships will sail from Sydney. Regal Princess will make her debut in
Australia, sailing out of Sydney, alongside her sister ship Majestic Princess.
Princess Cruises will also operate 20 cruises to and from Adelaide over the
2020-21 summer season, in a move that represents the biggest ever cruise
industry commitment to South Australia.
