Royal Caribbean International has announced its 2027–28 Australian summer program, featuring new ships and the debut of Royal Beach Club Lelepa in Vanuatu. This strategy aims to boost customer engagement and onboard spending in the South Pacific, aligning with the company’s existing focus on moderate capacity growth and enriched destinations to drive per-passenger spending and yield. While it reinforces the current investment narrative, investors should be mindful of potential risks like rising fuel costs impacting margins.
