Royal Caribbean has just announced a stellar lineup of Caribbean holidays for the 2027-28 season, bringing even more excitement to year-round getaways from Florida. Whether you’re dreaming of week-long escapes or quick weekend trips, the new program promises island hopping, beach club bliss and unforgettable thrills—plus direct access from three Florida cruise homeports: Port Canaveral (Orlando), Miami and Tampa.
New Destinations and Next-Level Ships
Starting April 2027, Royal Caribbean will offer getaways ranging from 2-night quick escapes to epic 8-night voyages. The season’s stars include the jaw-dropping new Star of the Seas, the freshly amplified Harmony of the Seas, short breaks on Utopia of the Seas, and island-hopping getaways aboard Wonder of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas.
- Star of the Seas launches from Port Canaveral (Orlando), taking guests on 7-night journeys to both the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Look forward to bold adventures in Samaná, Dominican Republic—think whale watching, hiking, and jungle exploring—or enjoy the ultimate beach day at the brand new Royal Beach Club Cozumel, debuting in 2026. Onboard, you’ll find over 40 dining and drinking options, spectacular entertainment like “Back to the Future: The Musical”, and the biggest waterpark at sea.
- Utopia of the Seas rolls out weekend energy with year-round 3- and 4-night trips to Perfect Day at CocoCay and Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau. This ship is all about fun—slide down the 10-storey Ultimate Abyss, party in countless bars and lounges, and chill in more pools than you can count.
- Harmony of the Seas returns to Port Canaveral after a major 2026 makeover. Expect 7-night voyages to classics like St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Jamaica, as well as new beach club stops and the iconic Perfect Day at CocoCay. Relax on the new Caribbean-inspired pool deck or enjoy island eats at The Lime & Coconut.
- Wonder of the Seas offers 3- and 4-night cruises from Miami to The Bahamas, including options to experience Royal Beach Club Paradise Island with a day pass.
- Radiance of the Seas sails from Tampa with a variety of Western Caribbean itineraries (4–8 nights), taking the adventure to Mexico and the sparkling new Royal Beach Club Cozumel.
Ultimate Island Experiences
Royal Caribbean fans will also be thrilled with the company’s return to Samaná in the Dominican Republic—where you can soak up white sands, lush jungles, and wild beauty. Beach lovers can craft their dream day at the all-new Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau, and coming soon, the much-anticipated Perfect Day Mexico (opening date to be announced in 2026).
Each homeport—Orlando, Miami and Tampa—offers a different mix of ships, itineraries, and destinations, meaning there’s something for every type of traveller all year round.
