    Sharing a strong passion for locally sourced produce and elevated F&B experiences, last September Royal Caribbean uncorked an exclusive partnership with Ponting Wines in Australia.

    Created by award-winning Australian winemaker Ben Riggs, renowned former Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting and his wife Rianna, wine lovers and connoisseurs alike were raising glasses of handpicked rosé, red or white wine on 2-to-18-night getaways from Brisbane and Sydney.
