Royal Caribbean and Village Roadshow Theme Parks announce Queensland cruise partnership

April 11, 2022

Royal Caribbean International has teamed up with Village Roadshow Theme Parks to offer guests sailing from Brisbane on Quantum of the Seas access to exclusive accommodation and attraction packages, combining two family experiences into one holiday with plenty of added perks.

The new partnership also offers Royal Caribbean holidaymakers to enjoy unlimited entry to Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World, Wet’n’Wild and Paradise Country, and a 15% discount on accommodation at Sea World Resort with additional inclusions for the whole family, making it easy to plan a holiday combining the best of land and sea.

Kathryn Lock, Marketing Director, Australia and New Zealand for Royal Caribbean International, advised “we are delighted to be partnering with Village Roadshow Theme Parks - titans of the Australian tourism industry - to bring a whole new way to holiday to Queensland.

“For guests seeking a unique and truly memorable holiday experience this new stay, play and cruise partnership, which can’t be found anywhere else, ticks all the right boxes."

Royal Caribbean’s highly anticipated launch in Queensland starts this summer with the ground-breaking Quantum sailing from the new Brisbane terminal from 9th November onwards.

The ship will include a range of activities including rock climbing, ice skating, sky diving and a Flow Rider.

Village Roadshow Theme Parks Chief Operating Officer, Bikash Randhawa said the theme park operator is excited by the new partnership, noting “Royal Caribbean is an incredible brand, and I believe that with the great synergy between our offering and theirs, together we can offer travellers a world-class tourism experience.

“The beauty of this partnership is that it will provide more options for travellers to combine their cruise departing from Queensland and theme park holidays with a number of great packages available.”

Destination Gold Coast Chief Executive, Patricia O’Callaghan said the innovative partnership will showcase one of the Gold Coast’s most iconic tourism assets, adding “the Gold Coast is open for business, and it’s through new initiatives like this that we can excite visitors to dream up their next escape in Australia’s favourite holiday playground.”
