Royal Caribbean International has announced an
expanded lineup of Caribbean cruises for 2027–28, offering travellers more ways
than ever to explore tropical destinations year-round. Departing from Port
Canaveral (Orlando), Miami, and Tampa, the new itineraries feature voyages of two
to eight nights aboard some of the cruise line’s most iconic ships, including Star
of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Utopia of the Seas, Wonder of the Seas, and Radiance
of the Seas.
Year-Round Adventures from Florida
From Port Canaveral, Royal Caribbean’s newest Icon
Class ship, Star of the Seas, will sail 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean
itineraries, including calls to Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas and the
Dominican Republic’s Samaná, where guests can enjoy waterfalls, whale watching
and pristine beaches.
Also sailing from Port Canaveral, Utopia of the Seas
offers 3- and 4-night weekend getaways featuring Perfect Day at CocoCay and the
new Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau. The amplified Harmony of the
Seas, returning in 2026, will visit favourites such as St. Thomas, St. Maarten
and Jamaica, with upgraded onboard dining, a Caribbean-inspired pool deck and
The Lime & Coconut bar.
From Miami, the award-winning Wonder of the Seas will
offer 3- and 4-night cruises to The Bahamas, featuring day passes to Royal
Beach Club Paradise Island (opening December 2025) and visits to Perfect Day at
CocoCay.
From Tampa, Radiance of the Seas will sail 4- to
8-night Western Caribbean itineraries, including visits to Royal Beach Club
Cozumel in Mexico, debuting in 2026.
Expanding the Beach Club Experience
The new lineup will include access to Royal
Caribbean’s expanding collection of private destinations, such as Royal Beach
Club Paradise Island (Bahamas), Royal Beach Club Cozumel (Mexico), and the
upcoming Perfect Day Mexico, set to debut in late 2027.
Booking and Member Access
Members of the Crown & Anchor Society can book
these new vacations now via Royal Caribbean’s website, ahead of general public
sales opening on Wednesday, November 5.
With its bold mix of short escapes and week-long
adventures, Royal Caribbean’s 2027–28 Caribbean season is designed for every
kind of traveller — from families and first-timers to loyal cruisers looking to
experience the next generation of island-hopping adventures.
