Several people asked so just thought I would put it out there.

Thoughts anyone?

...Royal Caribbean...
Anthem cruises from Sydney and usually goes to NZ or South Pacific.

But they do have a 7-night Sydney-Airlie Beach-Sydney with 2 days at Airlie on 6 Feb 2026:

I find searching for itineraries on Clean Cruising convenient and much much easier than cruiseline sites. I also briefly looked at Celebrity but they seem to have longer itineraries and are more expensive.

OR you can all join me on my Alaska cruise, Vancouver to Anchorage, on Discovery Princess 20 June 2026 (I scored an aft balcony!)

There is a two night SYD-BNE cruise in November.

 

[straitman]

We are getting on in Sydney on 11th November then heading to Singapore so people could join for the 2 night leg. WE already have 9 in the group but are willing to accept a few more.

You mean this one and mean Sydney to Brisbane?

Yes.

Mrs JT and I may have booked it to SIN too.

Damnit! I will have just got back from Morocco and it would not be a good look to take more days off mid-week. Enjoy

We might need to chat at some point.

Wife wants to do a cruise sooner rather than later. I was thinking a one-way to SIN or BKK if possible and return using classic awards. Will more than likely need to be school holidays.

Is this a repositioning cruise as there does not appear to be a single supplement ? I might be interested. The +1 gets seasick so cruising is a "No NO".

 

[RooFlyer]

I think I've satisfied my 'big boat', classic cruise curiosity.

WE are doing that to Singapore. It's about the 3rd or 4th version of it which is good for us we originally booked it some years ago and the price has held. Also good as each time it got rescheduled we got more on board credit.

The nine I am talking about are doing the full Sydney to Singapore cruise.

Go on. You can do it!

 

[Bindibuys]

We will be in the UK for the duration of that cruise, so we are definitely Bronze.

 

[DejaBrew]

Same here, realising that we're talking about a November cruise, in which case I'm definitely Bronze

Or a 3 Day BNE-SYD cruise in March 2026

[n7of9]

Yes! And then it continues for 4 days to Melbourne via Hobart.

That sounds like a very plausible option IMHO.

With your Little Miss, I'd consider a Disney cruise. They are expensive, but amazing for kids. And big kids who love Disney.
