Voyager cruise prices in the Mediterranean September and October 2025 are reasonable. The cruises from Brisbane are thru the roof December 2025. To me it appears those cruises in the Mediterranean are going to run. Those ones from Brisbane if they happen I doubt it will be Voyager. Keep an eye on the Voyager cruises September and October 2025 in the Mediterranean. These are the cruises that will determine if Voyager will get to Brisbane. The Suez Canal isn’t an option anymore for Voyager. Edited August 25 by springaussie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll second spectrum,I think they might pull it out of china. They wouldn’t send it to the U.S as it would be culturally enriching but it would be a hit in Australia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_apples Posted August 26 #2082 Share Posted August 26 If Voyager did not end up coming, why would they bring Spectrum to us here in Brisbane? Wasn’t their plan to swap Quantum to Voyager because Quantum didn’t fill up here? Why would they bring basically the same ship with a risk of it not filling up again?

The Chinese economy isn’t the best and I’ve read the bureaucracy in the ports are pretty unworkable,especially for western ships . R.C just cancelled Ovation’s deployment to china and sent it to L.A .Ovation is a westernised ship and will do well in California. On the other hand,Spectrum is a very Asian ship and wouldn’t do well. Americans like things to be American. I think with the current situation the only place they could send Spectrum is Singapore or to Australia . It would be ,just a last resort 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodscruise Posted August 26 Author #2084 Share Posted August 26 Phil, I just check Brisbane ports for the 2026/27 season and Royal has no port booking for this season. Do you think they are withdrawing from homeporting in BNE. If Voyager does come in 2025/26 where will it go to after this season? I wonder if the 2026/27 season deployment is contributing to the 2025/26 season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing happened last year Royal appeared around October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the 2026/27 season deployment is contributing to the 2025/26 season Royal will book Brisbane cruise terminal slots, but don't book their shipping movements for Brisbane till much later. Royal has shipping movements booked at Yorkeys for Quantum & Voyager in 2024/25 and 25/26 respectively; as well as Shute Harbour for Quantum in 24/25. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Royal is doing dry docks for ships over 20 years every 3 years Navigator will be due Easter 2027. if it is every 2 1/2 years Navigator and Voyager will be both need a dry dock visit during the Oz season 26/27. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the 25/26 season, there are no outward port bookings in QLD or Darwin, so there is no clue about her heading north to Asia of Europe. There are no bookings in Fremantle to hint of going west toward South Africa. Transpacifics are usually done via Sydney to get the extra US passengers, and there is no booking there either. Possible it might be easier for them to leave her in Australia, but they are waiting to see what happens with the Red Sea, P&O Carnivalisation or the phoenix of the Lelepa colony. Lots of balls in the air, but they just need to grow a pair and make the most of a Carnival own goal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This document updated last week claims 2 months for a Unique Sailing. But would it take that long? The Singapore to Brisbane Voyager cruise could still stop at the same ports on the same days just start in Fremantle instead 2 or 3 days earlier. https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2025_2026/2025-2026_Deployment_Summary_Ship.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those sailings are coded in blue - repositioning. Virgin & Princess have shown you can still arrive in Europe in the same time going via Fremantle & Cape Town, and visiting limited ports. Voyager has no Freo booking at this stage, and still has Darwin & Cairns on the way to Brisbane. It is possible they could dump a couple of Med cruises and the current segment to Dubai in favour of a "Unique Sailing" from Rome to Cape Town, then on to Dubai & Singapore per the current schedule. 20th October ex Rome should be enough to provide a unique itinerary that arrives to schedule in Dubai on 17th November. There is heaps of availability on those end of season Med cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think they have an opportunity to capitalise on disruption in P&O and Princess deployments but I don’t think this would drive their decision making. It’s wait on see on the situation in the Red Sea as you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently that’s what shipping companies are quoting. Edited August 29 by Chiliburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
