Royal Beach Club Lelepa cruises with Royal Caribbean

What makes Royal Beach Club Lelepa worth the voyage?

Royal Beach Club Lelepa is Royal Caribbean’s private beach destination in the South Pacific — the first of its kind in the region. Voyager of the Seas passengers get exclusive access to this destination, which sets these sailings apart from a standard Pacific island cruise. Think of it as a port call that feels more like a resort day: a dedicated beach experience that you cannot reach any other way.

Sailings covering the South Pacific make up the largest share of departures, followed by itineraries around Australia, then New Zealand, with a smaller number heading to Polynesia. Most voyages are round trips — 17 out of 22 sailings return to their departure port — though 5 are one-way, typically connecting Sydney and Brisbane or ending in Singapore, with a short domestic flight or cruise from Singapore completing the picture.

Durations range from 2 to 18 nights, with the middle of the range sitting at 9 nights — enough time to take in several ports without feeling rushed. Fares start from A$348 pp*.

Where do these sailings depart from?

Most sailings leave from Sydney or Brisbane, which means that for many Australian travellers, this is a cruise with no international flight at all. If you live near either port, you can drive or take the train straight to the terminal. If you’re coming from another state, a short domestic hop is all it takes — far easier than flying to a distant embarkation port overseas.

A small number of sailings depart from Honolulu in Hawaii — ideal if you’re combining a cruise with a US West Coast trip or a Hawaiian holiday. For those sailings, our team can arrange flights, hotels either side and transfers as one package, so there’s nothing left to organise yourself.

Which ships sail to Royal Beach Club Lelepa?

Two ships carry these itineraries, both operated by Royal Caribbean.

Voyager of the Seas

Voyager of the Seas is the ship most directly associated with Royal Beach Club Lelepa, giving her passengers exclusive access to the South Pacific’s first private cruise beach destination. On board, the Studio B ice-skating rink hosts professional ice shows with choreography and costuming — something genuinely rare at sea. The FlowRider surf simulator, Perfect Storm waterslides and a rock-climbing wall give active travellers plenty to do on sea days. Voyager sails primarily from Brisbane, which for Queensland residents means no flight at all.

Choosing your cabin? The Voyager of the Seas cabins and deck plans page covers every grade. A summary of the main options:

• Inside cabin with Promenade view (2T) — 15.5 m², sleeps 2: an interior window looks out onto the Royal Promenade, so you can watch ship life from your room at the most affordable price point.
• Ultra-Ocean-view cabin (1K) — 30.5 m², sleeps 6: twice the floor space of a standard ocean-view cabin, giving families or friends real room to spread out.
• Spacious Balcony cabin (1B) — 18.9 m², sleeps 4: your own outdoor space with fresh sea air and open views, something interior and ocean-view cabins cannot offer.
• Royal Suite (RS) — 117.1 m², sleeps 4: the largest suite on board, with an 18.2 m² balcony and unobstructed panoramic views.

Anthem of the Seas

Anthem of the Seas holds the Guinness World Record for the tallest viewing deck at sea — the North Star observation capsule rises 300 feet above the waterline for views that are hard to describe and impossible to forget. The RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulator and SeaPlex bumper cars make her one of Royal Caribbean’s most tech-packed ships. The Two70° venue delivers 4K immersive performances alongside Bionic Bar robotic cocktails in a single dramatic space. See the Anthem of the Seas cabins and deck plans for the full cabin breakdown.

• Inside cabin with virtual balcony (1U) — 15.4 m², sleeps 4: a high-resolution screen shows a live sea view, bringing the outside in at an inside cabin price.
• Ocean-view cabin (2P) — 253 m², sleeps 4: generously proportioned with a spacious living area and sofa for real comfort.
• Large Balcony cabin (2G) — 253 m², sleeps 4: a double sofa bed and full living area make this a practical choice for families or longer voyages.
• Royal Loft Suite (RL) — 152.4 m², sleeps 6: a two-level maisonette, the most spacious accommodation in the fleet, with the bedroom on the upper level overlooking the living room below.

What fare types are available?

Royal Caribbean sailings on these itineraries are sold across several fare types. The standard Cruise Fare includes your stateroom and onboard dining in the main venues. Promotional fare types — such as last-minute offers and third and fourth guest deals — appear from time to time and can bring the per-person cost down significantly. Discounts of up to 31% are available on select sailings, though that maximum applies to a single departure; most reduced fares sit around 10% off that cabin grade’s previous listed price. There is also a Solo Fare for guests travelling alone in a single-occupancy stateroom.

Our team can walk you through which fare tier suits your travel dates and group size — call our Australian cruise experts seven days a week before you book.

Can you combine a cruise with flights and hotels?

Yes — through Cruise1st Packages, we can put your cruise, flights, pre- or post-cruise hotel nights, transfers and travel insurance into a single booking. This is particularly useful for sailings departing from Honolulu, where most Australian travellers will want flights and at least one night’s accommodation arranged in advance. For Sydney and Brisbane departures, packages work well if you’re coming from interstate and want everything handled in one place.

We’re cruise specialists — our team knows the ships, the routes and the cabin grades, and we can tailor the whole trip around your budget and travel style. Find out more about how Cruise1st Packages work.

Exploring the regions: South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and Polynesia

The South Pacific itineraries carry the most sailings and are where Royal Beach Club Lelepa features most prominently. Voyages around Australia are a strong second — round-trip departures that let you see the Australian coastline without venturing further afield. New Zealand sailings suit those who want dramatic scenery; Sydney round-trip departures often include New Zealand as part of a longer itinerary. The Polynesia sailings are the most immersive, reaching further into the Pacific for a longer voyage.

If you’re planning a trip around the summer or Christmas period, Christmas cruises from Australia, Christmas cruises to New Zealand and New Year cruises 2028 are all worth a look. For those planning ahead into early 2028, January cruises cover the peak summer sailing season.
