Royal Caribbean Cruise Tours

Guests on Rhapsody of the Seas’ Australia voyages can extend their vacation with a cruise tour. Cruise tours offer vacationers the best of both worlds by combining a cruise with a land-based tour escorted by a local expert Tour Director. The cruise tour includes all hotel-stays, transfers, meals as outlined in the itinerary, and various included activities. On most sailings, guests can choose a five-night pre-cruise cruise tour to explore the capital city of Sydney; learn about the aboriginal Liru at Ayers Rock; visit Port Douglas in Tropical North Queensland, the best place to see crocodiles and native wildlife; and venture out to the Great Barrier Reef.

On sailings departing November 11 and December 2, 2008, and February 24, 2009, guests can choose a six-night pre-cruise New Zealand cruise tour. Vacationers will arrive at Auckland, New Zealand, and experience a slice of Kiwi life as they visit a sheep farm; taste some of the world’s most exclusive vintages at a Rotorua winery; cruise through the breathtaking fjords of Milford Sound; and then fly to Australia to uncover the excitement of Sydney before boarding Rhapsody of the Seas.
