Legend of the Seas to call Brisbane home
Royal Caribbean International will base Legend of the Seas in Brisbane for the 2015/16 summer cruise season.
Brisbane becomes the cruise line’s second Australian homeport after Sydney and takes the brand’s Australian fleet to four ships.
The addition of the 2000-guest Legend of the Seas, along with the recent announcement that Explorer of the Seas will replace Rhapsody of the Seas in Sydney from November 2015 represents a total capacity increase of 47%.
Legend of the Seas arrives in Brisbane in December 2015 for a five-month season. At 70,000 tons she is one of the largest superliners able to navigate the Brisbane River and dock at Brisbane Cruise Terminal at Portside Wharf.
Legend of the Seas will also make 10 calls at the combined Queensland ports of Cairns and Airlie Beach.
Royal Caribbean’s biggest ever Australian fleet will comprise four ships in summer 2015/16: Legend of the Seas in Brisbane and Explorer of the Seas, Voyager of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas in Sydney.
The Brisbane programme, which includes 17 itineraries, ranging from two to 14 nights to the South Pacific islands, Queensland and New Zealand – plus repositioning cruises between Hong Kong and Brisbane, will go on sale in mid-May.
