Royal Caribbean ex-Sydney capacity doubles

Wednesday, 19 Feb, 2010 0

Royal Caribbean will homeport Rhapsody of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas in Sydney from October next year, doubling ex-Sydney capacity for 2011.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Australia managing director Gavin Smith said: “The move is a demonstration of the strength of the local cruise market, and is in response to demand from American, European and Asian visitors to experience Australia onboard our cruise ships. This will double the number of tourists the company brings to Australia each year to more than 30,000.”

“We’ve also seen a marked increase in demand from Australians for the Royal Caribbean International brand over the past year and this is something we are keen to build upon. The announcement represents a multi-million dollar investment in Australia, and Sydney is an excellent base port for our operations Down Under.”
 
RCI opened its Sydney office 14 months ago.
