Royal Beach Club Lelepa & South Pacific Cruise 9 Nights • Sydney, Australia • Anthem of the Seas

Circular Quay is where you'll find the Opera House, museums such as the Art Gallery of NSW and some of the best restaurants in the city. A short walk will take you to the historic George Street district, while top-tier shopping can be found in the historical Queen Victoria Building. A 45-minute ferry ride will take you to the heart of Manly Beach when you cruise from Sydney.

Your ship departs promptly at 5:00 pm, so plan to arrive at least 2-3 hours early to account for checking in and boarding protocols. During this time, many of the ship's amenities are open and operating, so feel free to start your holiday early.

Royal Beach Club℠ Lelepa, opening in October 2027, will be Royal Caribbean’s® first exclusive cruise destination in the South Pacific. Located on the island of Lelepa in Vanuatu, the destination offers complimentary entry with access to two pristine beaches, including a family-friendly shoreline and an adults-only retreat, plus areas designed for relaxation and adventure. Guests can enjoy unlimited island dining and explore a scenic Nature Trail, all included with their cruise fare.

Vanuatu is a lush, verdant, tropical land that has risen out of the sea on coral beds formed by volcanoes. The mix of rugged coral coastlines, sandy beaches, beautiful waterfalls, thick jungles, and blue lagoons makes it one of the most charming ports worldwide. Port Vila offers dozens of places to visit, island feasts to sample local flavors, museums, and quaint little back streets to explore. It offers an array of tours and adventure, waterfront restaurants, and lively markets. The islands and people of Vanuatu also have an appeal that you simply won’t find elsewhere.

Located on the southernmost point of the Vanuatu archipelago, this little jewel of the South Pacific is completely uninhabited. Formerly used as an allied force landing strip during WWII, today only palm trees and sweet seclusion grow from the white sand of Mystery Island. The locals live across the waters on Tanna and visit the island during the day to spread their warmth, culture and wares. It's the perfect spot for couples, beach lovers, or anyone looking to lounge in an ocean of beauty and literally get away from it all.

The Blue Mountains, just an hour west of central Sydney, feel like they're world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. With more than 1 million hectares of forests, cliffs, canyons, caves and waterfalls — and plenty of walking paths to take you there — this is one of the best day trips Sydney has to offer. Quaint towns such as Katoomba stand in stark contrast to iconic landmarks such as the Three Sisters, the towering rock formation overlooking the valley.

The cruise might have ended, but there are still some great activities to enjoy in the area. If you flew into this port, be mindful of your departure flight time and plan accordingly.
