Royal Caribbean Cruises Return to Australia and New Zealand for Second Season
What happened
Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas returned to Australia for its second season out of Sydney, offering various itineraries across the South Pacific and New Zealand. These cruises include seven- to nine-night escapes visiting Mystery Island in Vanuatu. The ship also offers five getaways along Australia’s East Coast, including stops in Hobart.
Why it matters
The return of major cruise lines increases tourism activity in port cities like Hobart, Christchurch, and Dunedin. This sustained activity could lead to increased revenue for these local economies and the surrounding regions, such as the East Coast of Australia.
