More Choices for Australian Cruising

By -
This November, the number and variety of cruise itineraries available for Australia and New Zealand will grow when Royal Caribbean moves the 3,840-passenger Voyager of the Seas to Sydney for a five-month cruise season.
 
The fifth Royal Caribbean ship to home port in Sydney, the Voyager of the Seas is roughly twice the size of any other ship currently based in the region. The larger ship brings some favorite Royal Caribbean amenities– including an on-board ice rink, inline skating track and four-story atrium, the Royal Promenade – to the region for the first time.

The Voyager of the Seas is also equipped with Royal Caribbean’s signature rock climbing wall and a 9-hole mini-golf course. The Adventure Ocean Club for kids includes the Adventure Beach water park, and there’s a dance club and video arcade just for teens.

 Guests will be able to choose from 11 different dining venues that feature everything from gourmet Italian dining to 1950s-inspired fare at Johnny Rockets. To keep everyone entertained, the ship has more than a dozen lounges and clubs, as well as the Coral Theater, an indoor pool, a spa and fitness center, boutiques and art galleries, and the gorgeous Skylight Chapel, a perfect location for a wedding.
 
Voyager of the Seas will sail 12 different itineraries around Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, ranging from eight to 18 nights and departing from Sydney or Fremantle (the port for Perth). For example, an eight-night roundtrip cruise begins with an overnight stay in the wonderful city of Sydney, then sails south to Melbourne and on to the island of Tasmania. A nine-night roundtrip cruise from Sydney ventures into the South Pacific, calling on the islands of New Caledonia and Fiji. And, an 18-night provides a terrific look at the diversity of Australia and New Zealand. The cruise begins in Perth; calls on Adelaide, Melbourne, and Tasmania; sails to New Zealand for port calls in Doubtful Sound, Dusky Sound, Dunedin, Christchurch and Wellington; then returns to the ship’s home port in Sydney.

Zip Line Adventures

By -
Zip lines – gravity-propelled, off-the-ground pulley and cable systems – are booming in popularity and are in high demand as cruise shore excursions. The cruise lines meet their guests’ desire to zip through the air, offering zip line adventures in many ports around the globe. It’s a great way to see scenery – forest canopies, mountains, remote waterfalls – that would be difficult to see from a lower vantage point. Zip lines had humble beginnings, serving as practical transportation down mountains or across river valleys. Today, most zip lines are used for entertainment and adventure: riders say the feeling is something like flying. Reputable zip line operators follow careful procedures; steel cables and strong harnesses assure comfort and safety, along with an exhilarating experience. Since 2007, more than 40,000 cruise ship guests have ridden the zip line at Icy Strait Point in Hoonah, Alaska, where the adventure begins with a scenic ride up the mountain (keep an eye out for...

Dining With the Kids

By -
One part of cruising that everyone looks forward to is onboard dining. But if you’re cruising with children, you may wonder how well the ship will meet their gastronomic needs. In short, don’t worry. Cruise ship chefs and servers know how to work with diners who might be a bit fussy, a little messy, and always hungry. One aspect of cruise ship dining that’s great for kids is the variety of dining spots and food available. Most ships have at least two dining options – a main dining room and a buffet – as well as themed or specialty dining venues (some ships have dozens of these). The main dining room offers sit-down, multicourse breakfasts, lunches and dinners for all ages. Some offer special children’s menus, but kids are welcome to order from the regular menu, too. If your child doesn’t find the menu appealing, get creative. Ask for a side dish as main plate; for a different preparation, such as chicken that’s fried instead of grilled; or for an unfamiliar sauce or despised vegeta...
