Royal Caribbean appears to be offering some unique flights to African ports in late 2025.
Savvy travel agents can spot Royal Caribbean’s new itineraries on the cruise line’s Travel Advisor website.
According to information disclosed on the website, the Ocean Voyager will set sail from Barcelona to South Africa in October 2025 and will stop at several other African ports along the way.
The ship will sail from Spain to South Africa on one voyage and then to Singapore on the next.
The cruise line’s decision to offer these new destinations comes after it canceled two repositioning cruises to the Middle East in early October.
Due to rising tensions in the Red Sea, the two canceled sailings have apparently been replaced with the following sailings:
- 18-Night Sailing from Barcelona to Cape Town (October 27, 2025). Ports of call include: Tangier (Morocco), Canary Islands, Dakar (Senegal), Walvis Bay (Namibia) and Cape Town (South Africa).
- 17-night cruise from Cape Town to Singapore (November 14, 2025). Ports of call include: Port Elizabeth (South Africa), Pointe Des Galets (Reunion Island), Mauritius and Singapore.
Each of the above voyages has a total of 12 sea days.
After arriving in Singapore, the ship will depart for Brisbane on December 1, 2025, for a 12-night trip.
After arriving in Brisbane, Ocean Voyager will be homeported in Australia for the remainder of the season.
As of this writing, these flights are not yet open for booking, and there is no word on when they will.
Voyager of the Seas is a 137,276 gross ton cruise ship built in 1999. The ship, which has a maximum capacity of 4,000 passengers, is the first of five Voyager-class ships built by Royal Caribbean.
The ship is currently sailing in the Mediterranean and is scheduled to sail from Barcelona to Port Canaveral next month (November 10)th) for seasonal cruises departing from Florida ports.
