Departing from Sydney, these six unique sailings will take guests to destinations like Noumea in New Caledonia, Mystery Island in Vanuatu, Wellington and Dunedin in New Zealand as well as a cruise through the picturesque Milford Sound.

But what makes it so special is the vibe and atmosphere aboard Royal Caribbean’s fleet of Aussie homeported ships.

From the food, to the décor, to the parties, you’ll get all the Christmas trimmings, without the messy clean up and the stress of Christmas organisation.

The promenade and public areas of the ships are filled with decorations – ornate Christmas trees, hanging glittering snowflakes, reindeers, bright poinsettias as well as garlands of tinsel and wreaths.
