RCI-Royal Caribbean Launches Bookings as Official Holiday Partner of Brisbane Heat

RCI-Royal Caribbean has entered into a multi-year partnership with the Brisbane Heat, becoming the official holiday and membership partner for the cricket franchise ahead of the 2025-2026 T20 season. This collaboration offers exclusive cruise deals to Heat members, early access to product previews, as well as family-focused weekend getaway competitions and events throughout the summer.

At the Gabba, Royal Caribbean will introduce a ‘Fan Zone’ and the ‘Royal Caribbean Countdown’—a new pre-match initiative set to commence in December 2025, which includes the chance for selected members to win a family cruise holiday.

A representative from Royal Caribbean Australia and New Zealand highlighted the collaboration as a blend of two iconic brands, intending to enhance engagement and experiences on and off the cricket field. The Heat’s General Manager for Commercial, Marketing & Corporate Affairs emphasized the synergy between summer cricket and holiday travel, as both experiences peak during the same season.

As part of this new partnership, the Voyager of the Seas will make its return to Brisbane for the 2025‑2026 Australian season, with a schedule of 45 sailings to the South Pacific, New Zealand, and Australia’s eastern coast set between November 2025 and April 2026. The initiative will include community events, in-match activations, and additional travel benefits for club members during the southern summer, reinforcing the family entertainment appeal shared by both cricket and cruise travel.
