Deb & Matt Chat on YT: Royal Caribbean Goes BIG in Australia?! 🚢 Celebrity Cruise Deployments! Cruise Port Strike
🚢 Could Royal Caribbean really be bringing THREE ships to Australia for the 2027–28 cruise season?
Tonight on Deb & Matt Chat LIVE, we’re digging into a very interesting Royal Caribbean story.
An Australian travel publication reported that Anthem of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas AND Voyager of the Seas would form part of Royal Caribbean’s expanded Australian program — and then the story disappeared.
But there’s more…
🔎 We’ve been doing some digging of our own and have independently found Voyager of the Seas listed at Sydney’s Overseas Passenger Terminal across future seasons, including multiple calls during 2027 and 2028.
So what is Royal Caribbean planning for Australia?
🚢 TONIGHT’S BIG STORY
🇦🇺 THREE Royal Caribbean ships for Australia?
We’ll look at:
⚓ Anthem of the Seas from Sydney
⚓ Ovation of the Seas reportedly returning to Brisbane
⚓ Voyager of the Seas moving between Brisbane, Sydney and Asia
🏝️ Royal Beach Club Lelepa opening in 2027
🔎 The Sydney port bookings we’ve independently found
❓ And why the original three-ship story suddenly disappeared!
Important: Royal Caribbean has not yet formally released the complete deployment we’re discussing. We’ll separate what has been officially announced, what appeared in the subsequently removed report, and what we’ve independently found in port schedules.
