Rhapsody of the Seas sails downunder
Royal Caribbean International’s Rhapsody of the Seas [Pictured right] is in Sydney following its 28-day Vancouver to Sydney voyage, via the Pacific, taking in Hawaii, French Polynesia and Fiji.
For the next few weeks the 78,000-ton resort-style Rhapsody will be sailing two 14-night Australian to New Zealand itineraries.
Meanwhile, parent company Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd has announced that RCI’s 73,000-ton Sovereign of the Seas will be reassigned to the company’s Pullmantur fleet.
Sovereign has been sailing out of Port Canaveral and will be replaced by her sister ship, the Los Angeles-based Monarch of the Seas.
The changes will take place in October and November 2008, with Sovereign of the Seas’ last scheduled sailing for RCI on October 31 and Monarch making its last scheduled sailing out of Los Angeles on October 13.
On October 17, Monarch of the Seas will reposition to the East Coast when it departs Los Angeles on a 16-night Panama Canal cruise to Miami.
The ship will then undergo a scheduled, weeklong dry-dock before welcoming its first Port Canaveral guests for three- and four-night Bahamas sailings starting November 10, 2008.
