Can I book yet?

No itineraries are announced as yet, the earliest would be the Summer 2026/2027 season where Anthem of the Seas will be sailing from Sydney and Quantum of the Seas from Brisbane. It is speculation but both of these ships have Pacific itineraries schedules to Vanuatu so it is possible Lelepa could be added to those itineraries replacing one of the other destinations like Mystery Island.
