Rhapsody of the Seas will sail into Sydney Heads this Friday October 3, to officially kick off the Royal Caribbean summer cruise season.

This will be the last Australian season for Rhapsody of the Seas who will be joined in Sydney by sister ships Radiance of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas between October 2014 and April 2015.

Royal Caribbean International commercial director, Sean Tracey praised Rhapsody of the Seas as a ship that changed Australian cruising.

“Rhapsody of the Seas changed Australian cruising forever when she was first home-ported here in 2007. Her innovation helped kick-start and shape the booming cruise industry we see here today.”

“This year, we look forward to giving more than 140,000 guests fun and original cruise holidays with an international flavour that they will talk about for years to come.”

The freshly renovated ships will exclusively feature a FlowRider surf simulator, real time virtual balcony staterooms, an ice skating rink, the exclusive DreamWorks experience, a range of dining experiences, Broadway shows and aerial acrobatics.
