CRUISE LINE · 2 SHIPS FROM PORT CANAVERAL
ROYAL CARIBBEAN
go big, then bigger.
The world’s largest ships, Broadway-style shows, waterslides at sea and an award-winning private island in the Bahamas.
THE VIBE
BIG SHIPS,
bigger energy.
Royal Caribbean is the line of “firsts at sea”: surf simulators, ice rinks, AquaTheaters, waterparks and some of the largest ships ever built. Readers of Travel Weekly have voted it Best Overall cruise line for more than two decades.
From Port Canaveral you can choose between two very different trips: Utopia of the Seas for 3- and 4-night Bahamas getaways, or Star of the Seas, an Icon Class ship, for a full week in the Caribbean. Both visit Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Plenty is included, and many favorites (drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi and island upgrades) are optional add-ons, so a good plan makes a big difference.
