Anthem of the Seas: Best Family Cruise from Sydney

Launched in 2015 with a capacity of 4180 guests, Anthem of the Seas takes everything that passengers love about Royal Caribbean and brings it to the next level. Staterooms boast innovative features, including family-friendly adjoining cabins and Interior rooms outfitted with "virtual balconies" that show real-time views of the ship's location. And with new technology on board, including smart wristbands, it eliminates the need for room keys.

Anthem is a Quantum-class cruise ship that offers an impressive selection of dining and nightlife plus nonstop activities that includes the first at-sea skydiving simulator and a 360-degree observation pod that allows cruisers to dangle 300 feet above the sea. Other activities range from daytime spa treatments, rock climbing and bumper cars to nightly shows and casino games. When it's time to eat, travelers can choose from 18 dining venues, including six signature restaurants.

Anthem of the Seas will be cruising Down Under from Oct 2026 to Mar 2027 with 3 to 9 night cruises from her homeport in Sydney.
