Sailings on Voyager of the Seas

From October to December 2027, Voyager of the Seas will sail from Brisbane on cruises ranging from two to seven nights, including South Pacific sailings to Mystery Island, Port Vila; Luganville, Vanuatu; and Noumea, New Caledonia, before a two-night coastal repositioning down to Sydney.

Voyager of the Seas departures from Sydney include a brand-new 10-night Christmas sailing across the majestic fjords and iconic landscapes of New Zealand, visiting Picton, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Milford Sound.

A five-night cruise will start in Singapore and visit Ho Chi Minh City (Phuoc An), Vietnam, before arriving in Hong Kong, pairing two of Asia’s most dynamic cities with time to discover Vietnam’s vibrant dining culture.

For Chinese New Year getaways from Hong Kong, four- and five-night cruises visit Ishigaki and Okinawa, Japan. Select holidays include an overnight stay in Okinawa, giving vacationers more time to take in the island’s turquoise waters, local flavours and distinct Ryukyu culture.

For China and Southeast Asia discoveries, departures from Hong Kong will visit Taipei (Keelung), Taiwan, where cruisers can explore the lively city known for its night markets and food scene. Guests can also visit Hue/Danang (Chan May), Vietnam, a gateway to ancient imperial heritage, coastal landscapes and central Vietnamese cuisine.

Ben Bouldin, President of Greater China and Managing Director Asia, Royal Caribbean, gave the following statement:

“Asia is home to remarkable destinations, flavors and cultures the world over wants to experience. Even more vacationers can discover the region in the way that best suits them – whether that’s sharing a quick getaway with family and friends or setting out on a longer journey discovering new destinations.

“This season brings the best of Asia closer to adventurers everywhere. We are especially delighted to offer more holidays in the region than ever before on a ship already loved by guests in Asia.”

These new cruises on Voyager of the Seas opened for bookings on August 26, 2026.
