Royal Caribbean Set to Amp Up Ovation, Harmony and Liberty of the Seas in 2026

Get ready for a new era of cruising, because Royal Caribbean Cruise is about to triple the fun in 2026! Three fan-favourite ships—Ovation, Harmony, and Liberty of the Seas—are set for a major glow-up, with bold new thrills, next-level chill, and even more ways to dine, drink, and make memories at sea.

What’s New on Board?

Ovation of the Seas
Ovation is getting a revamped pool deck with private casitas and a new whirlpool, plus a fresh line-up of international dining. Indulge in Tuscan classics at Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen or get your hibachi fix at Izumi Teppanyaki. The Pesky Parrot tiki bar makes its Quantum Class debut, and there’s a brand-new Sound Cellar for dancing the night away. The expanded Casino Royale ups the ante, while new accommodation options like the Ultimate Family Suite and Panoramic Suite mean you can cruise in serious style. All your Quantum Class favourites are still there, including Ripcord by iFly and the SeaPlex—the largest indoor activity space at sea.

Ovation will be sailing 7- to 13-night adventures through Alaska from spring 2026, including immersive multi-night Cruisetour experiences for those wanting to explore the Last Frontier in depth.

Harmony of the Seas
Harmony is set to wow with a new Caribbean-inspired pool deck, tropical cocktails at The Lime & Coconut, and a refreshed adults-only Solarium. Foodies will be spoilt for choice with over 20 venues, including Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, El Loco Fresh for Mexican, and the brand-new Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. The Ultimate Family Suite and the largest Casino Royale in the fleet add even more options for fun and relaxation.

Harmony will start its summer in Europe before heading to Port Canaveral, Florida, for winter 2026. From there, she’ll cruise the Caribbean, calling at hot spots like St. Thomas, Jamaica, and Royal Caribbean’s top-rated Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas. Guests can also be among the first to experience the all-inclusive Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, opening December 2025.

Liberty of the Seas
Liberty is all about all-ages fun, with a completely reimagined pool deck, The Lime & Coconut, new casitas, and an all-new Royal Escape Room concept. Savour Japanese cuisine and hibachi at Izumi Teppanyaki, tacos at El Loco Fresh, and even a new-to-ship Starbucks. Returning favourites like The Perfect Storm waterslides and show-stopping entertainment are still on deck.

Liberty will sail from Southampton in summer 2026, exploring Europe’s gems like the Norwegian fjords, Bruges, and Copenhagen, before heading to Galveston, Texas, for Western Caribbean adventures and the new Royal Beach Club Cozumel.

The Royal Amplified Program

These three ships are the latest to get the Royal Amplified treatment, following the hugely successful Allure of the Seas upgrade. The program is all about delivering bolder experiences, new culinary options, and more ways to play, relax, and explore—whether you’re a family, a couple, or a solo traveller.

With over 28 ships and more than 300 destinations, Royal Caribbean Cruise continues to set the standard for unforgettable holidays at sea. Four more ships are on the way, along with new exclusive beach clubs and destinations across the globe.
