Sweet Rhapsody for Royal Caribbean
SYDNEY –Royal Caribbean and sister brand Celebrity Cruises have wrapped up a record season in Australia.
With Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas and Celebrity Cruises’ Millennium ships both based in Sydney for the summer 2008/09 season the pair carried more than 50,000 guests from late October to April.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Australia commercial manager Adam Armstrong said the season had been an especially busy one for the company and he is looking forward to building on the success.
“This was our first full season with two ships in Australia and we’re delighted with the amazing feedback about the range of activities and quality of service on board from our guests – particularly from locals cruising with us for the first time.â€
He said that there is also a wide range of cruise options on board Royal Caribbean ships outside of Australia.
“Legend of the Seas is cruising in Asia from Singapore and Shanghai whilst Mariner of the Seas has just moved to a new base in Los Angeles where she is the largest ever superliner to sail to Mexico.â€
Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas returns to Australian waters in October this year with 15 voyages from Sydney including 10-night Barrier Reef cruises, circumnavigations of Australia and visits to New Zealand and Tasmania.
