Royal Caribbean announced Ovation of the Seas will extend her second Australian season by six extra cruises, spending a further five weeks home ported in Sydney during the summer of 2017/18.
New cruises in 2018 include
- an eight-night South Pacific sailing departing February 18 priced from $1,449 per person
- a five-night Tasmanian cruise departing March 8 from $1,049 per person
- two 10-night New Zealand cruises departing March 13 and 26 starting from $1,819 per person
- a three-night sampler departing March 23 priced from $669 per person; all roundtrip from Sydney
- a 14-night repositioning cruise from Sydney to Singapore, departing March 26, 2018, which stars from $2,069 per person
This is the second time in a matter of months that Royal Caribbean has added new Ovation of the Seas sailings. In late April, Royal Caribbean added four more sailings to the 2016/2017 cruise season.
“Such is the excitement and anticipation of Ovation of the Seas’ arrival that we’re extending her second season before she has even commenced her first in Australia,” said Adam Armstrong, managing director for Royal Caribbean in Australia and New Zealand.
“The really special thing about Ovation of the Seas is that she’s appealing to an incredibly wide range of travelers. Existing cruisers are excited about the new amenities she offers, but she’s also fascinating Australians who have never cruised before. She is redefining the concept of cruising and we are delivering an entirely new way to holiday,” Armstrong continued.
