Royal Caribbean Doubles 2011 Capacity in Australia

Royal Caribbean International will double its capacity in Australia in 2011, homeporting two ships in Sydney starting in October. 


Rhapsody of the Seas, currently in its third Australian summer season, will be joined by Radiance of the Seas and offer cruises in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific during the summer months.

Royal Caribbean is focused on capturing a greater share of the Australian market: cruising by Australians will represent as much as 5% of the global cruise market by 2020. This according to Access Economics.
 
Rhapsody of the Seas is currently sailing in Australasian waters and will depart for Alaska at the end of the season on April 12, returning in October this year for summer 2010-11.

The company will release itineraries for the two-ship 2011-12 cruise calendar in late March 2010.
