New Royal Caribbean Beach Club & Australia Sailings

Royal Caribbean is opening Royal Beach Club Lelepa on the South Pacific island of Vanuatu in October 2027, creating the first private cruise destination in the southern hemisphere. Plus, they plan to launch a series of 2-to-12-night holidays across Australia from fall 2027 through spring 2028, giving travelers a chance to explore this popular region in epic Royal Caribbean style.

Royal Beach Club Lelepa will follow in the footsteps of other Royal Beach Clubs on Paradise Island, Cozumel and Santorini, providing an exclusive beach experience for Royal passengers on select itineraries. Guests can enjoy two pristine beaches, including a serene adults-only retreat and an activity-packed family beach, along with 10 bars, unlimited island eats, umbrellas, loungers and towels all included in the price of your day pass. 

Royal Beach Club Lelepa will be a stop on every Royal Caribbean South Pacific getaway from Sydney and Brisbane starting October 2027. From then to April 2028, travelers can look forward to short getaways, weekend departures and longer journeys on Anthem of the Seas® from Sydney and Voyager of the Seas® from Brisbane, delivering 2-to-12-night holidays across Australia, the sun-soaked South Pacific and breathtaking New Zealand.


According to our cruise specialists:

“Australia is a fantastic destination to launch a cruise from, making it easy to explore the islands of the South Pacific, New Zealand’s incredible fiords and Aussie beach towns in Queensland. Our agency can help you plan the entire journey, making sure you arrive early enough to get accustomed to the time change, and booking your hotels and transfers in Sydney or Brisbane.”
