Royal Caribbean unveils new Caribbean adventures
Royal Caribbean has announced its Caribbean vacation lineup for 2027–28, offering travelers new opportunities to discover tropical wonders year-round.
Starting in April 2027, guests will be able to choose from cruises of varying lengths, from 2 to 8 nights, with itineraries ranging from short getaways to weeklong adventures aboard iconic ships such as Star of the Seas and Harmony of the Seas, sailing from Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida. Also featured are short Oasis Class itineraries on Utopia of the Seas from Port Canaveral and Wonder of the Seas from Miami, ideal for those seeking intense, fast-paced experiences.
Harmony of the Seas
The new lineup makes it possible to enjoy island hopping across the Caribbean and the Bahamas, sailing from three Florida ports: Port Canaveral (Orlando), Miami, and Tampa. Among the highlights is the highly anticipated return to Samaná in the Dominican Republic, where ships will offer unique experiences such as waterfall excursions, whale watching, and immersive encounters with lush natural landscapes. Guests will also enjoy beach days at Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau and Royal Beach Club Cozumel in Mexico, as well as the renowned destination Perfect Day at CocoCay. Toward the end of 2027, the opening of Perfect Day Mexico is also planned—an exclusive destination promising new entertainment and relaxation experiences.
From Port Canaveral, Star of the Seas will offer 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, delivering complete family-friendly experiences with excursions to Samaná, beach days at Royal Beach Club Cozumel, and onboard highlights such as Back to the Future: The Musical, the largest water park at sea, and more than 40 dining options. Utopia of the Seas, meanwhile, will feature short 3- and 4-night cruises with access to Perfect Day at CocoCay and Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, along with pools and attractions like the 10-deck Ultimate Abyss dry slide. Following its 2026 amplification, Harmony of the Seas will sail 7-night itineraries to Charlotte Amalie (St. Thomas), Philipsburg (St. Maarten), and Falmouth (Jamaica), with opportunities to visit Perfect Day at CocoCay and the beaches of Paradise Island or Cozumel. New relaxation areas, the tropical bar The Lime & Coconut, and more than 20 dining venues will also be available onboard.
