BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, Dec. 1, 2024 – Another summer of adventures is here. For a third season in Queensland, Australian families can pack their bags and celebrate the first day of summer with the ultimate family getaway. Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas arrived in Brisbane for the start of the fan favourite’s next unforgettable season. With a variety of 22 sun-soaked holidays, travellers can set their sights on visits to idyllic destinations across the South Pacific, New Zealand and the stunning coast of Queensland.

“More Queensland families are choosing Quantum of the Seas for their next holiday, seamlessly combining spectacular destinations with the ease of an all-encompassing adventure.
