Spectrum would go back to Singapore for the Christmas season.

I am referring to the Aussie Winter period,

This is the wrong thread but I am referring to the coming 2022 Ozzie winter .But what ship would Singapore have? Quantum would be in Alaska.

In 2023 winter there maybe a oasis.

I emailed Gavin Smith he said it looks like the cruise ban is over and they MAY have a ship in Sydney during our winter .

You are persistent but so glad there is finally some positivity about cruises returning to Sydney.

It's typical for RCL to make some cruises appear and disappear a week beforehand. They test their system and give us a preview.

Enchantment Of The Seas appears on a 7 night cruise from Vancouver 07 May 2023.

So is Enchantment continuing to Oz and doing the Rhapsody bookings?

I don’t know about Enchantment, but with Lelepa I can see a smaller ship home ported in cairns.
Lelepa can’t sit around empty for 6 months of the year and cairns can dock a Radiance class now.
 

I was watching one of those cruise news videos and it said Lelepa will be open Christmas 2022???  I can’t see it happening though.

I guess so...  I can’t see a Vision class ship based in Sydney or Brisbane though.  Melbourne and Adelaide still only have a few bookings in name of Rhapsody.  So, a new home port seems more likely… Perhaps Enchantment based in Auckland (southern summer) and Cairns (southern winter).  The port bookings indicate a cicrumnavigation of Aus.

If Enchantment is replacing Serenade, where will Serenade be cruising until the world cruise in Dec 2023?

If so, I wonder which ship will be in Baltimore for the varied and popular Bahamas, Bermuda, Caribbean and Canada/New England itineraries! Ship size/height is limited due to the nearby bridges.

Auckland in summer and Cairns in winter would be  winning combination.

Both ports could sail to Lelepa.

I thought Lelepa is not opened, or nothing has progressed with the island yet?

It's a really long haul from Auckland to Lelepa, don't see it happening.

 Nothing has happened 

This is the 23-24 thread and RC Australia said by 2024 .

Mr google says 2200km from Auckland and 2400 from sydney.

Noumea is on the way also.

Auckland is about 3 hours less from the states.
I think there’s cruises go the from Melbourne .

How are you determining that the port bookings would indicate a circumnavigation of Australia?  The reason that I ask, is that we were booked on the Serenade circumnavigation for February/March of 2021, which was obviously cancelled.  I would really be interested on rebooking a circumnavigation, if one becomes available again, although I was told at Next Cruise that these sailings aren't offered on a regular basis.   Clue me in to your thinking on this!

I've never been on a vision class.  What are your doubts?
