Brisbane summers in the South Pacific, longer voyages through Asia
Brisbane is where she spends the Australian summer. Her South Pacific round trips from Brisbane run 7 and 8 nights between December and March, and you can browse her line’s 2027 departures from Brisbane. Ports change between departures, but Mystery Island and Port Vila in Vanuatu, and Noumea, are among them.
She also sails 6- and 7-night cruises along the Australian coast in November and January, with Airlie Beach and Cairns typical calls. Her 3- and 4-night Brisbane round trips in November make a short break, with Airlie Beach a typical stop. Local to Brisbane, none of these needs a flight. From another state it is a domestic flight, and we book that too.
Further afield, she sails 10-night round trips from Singapore in March and November. Stops vary, but you might see Nha Trang, Phu My or Bangkok (Klong Toey). In October she runs 3- and 4-night Singapore round trips, with Penang and Phuket among the calls. Her longest voyages are one-ways: 17 and 18 nights from Yokohama to Singapore in February and October, through Japan and on to Asia, with Okinawa, Kobe and Hong Kong typical stops. In September she crosses the Pacific from Seattle to Yokohama over 15 or 20 nights, and Hakodate and Akita are among the Japanese calls.
Wherever she sails from Singapore, Yokohama or Seattle, we book the flights, a night or two in the port city and the transfers with the cruise. That way even her short Singapore round trips become part of a longer holiday.
Her Quantum Class companions include Anthem of the Seas and Ovation of the Seas, and the rest of the line is on our Royal Caribbean cruises page.
Bumper cars, a surf wave and a capsule in the sky
Her most distinctive activities sit high up and indoors. North Star is an observation capsule that rises over 300 feet above sea level for 360-degree views of the ocean, the ship and the coastline. It is a paid experience, charged per guest or per ride.
SeaPlex is her vast indoor active space, with a full-size basketball court and bumper cars. Entry is included in the fare, though extended play may cost extra.
Out on deck, the FlowRider surf simulator keeps a wave rolling for anyone keen to try, and friends can watch from the stadium seating beside it.
Children aged 3 to 11 have Adventure Ocean, the youth programme included in the fare, which runs from themed parties for younger children to more adventurous pursuits for 9- to 11-year-olds. Older children tend to find her arcade, where ’80s and ’90s classics sit beside current titles; entry is free and the games are paid.
Two70, Music Hall and her evening shows
Her evenings centre on Two70, a two-storey space with 270 degrees of ocean views that becomes a stage after dark, with robotic screens, aerialists and live performance. Entry and the views are free.
Her original productions bring live singers and dancers to elaborate sets with projection and effects. Sequins & Feathers runs from classic Parisian cabaret to Las Vegas and Broadway glamour. Both are included in the fare.
Music Hall keeps live bands playing every night, with a bar, lounge tables and pool tables around the dance floor. Schooner Bar and Boleros round out the line’s familiar nightlife, and drinks are charged unless you have a beverage package.
Quantum of the Seas cabins and deck plans
Her suites come with Royal Suite Class, the suite tier that gives its guests perks and priority service. Those include Coastal Kitchen, a restaurant kept for them, and the Suite Lounge for Sky- and Star-Class suites. With bumper cars and nightly live bands, check what sits above and below a cabin on her cabins and deck plans.
