Royal Caribbean International has successfully released its 2027–2028 deployment schedule for the Caribbean, offering numerous new sailings that extend through April 2028. This comprehensive lineup focuses heavily on year-round service from three key Florida homeports: Port Canaveral (Orlando), Miami, and Tampa, featuring a blend of short and weeklong voyages.
A highlight of the deployment is the new Icon Class ship, Star of the Seas, which will continue sailing year-round 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean adventures from Port Canaveral. These itineraries will feature destinations such as St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and the exclusive Perfect Day at CocoCay, along with the highly anticipated Royal Beach Club Cozumel (Mexico) and the return to Samaná, Dominican Republic.
The cruise line is maintaining a successful strategy of dedicating its Oasis Class ships to short escapes. Utopia of the Seas (from Port Canaveral) and Wonder of the Seas (from Miami) will exclusively offer 3- and 4-night getaways visiting Perfect Day at CocoCay and Nassau. Meanwhile, the amplified Harmony of the Seas will return to Port Canaveral to offer diverse 7-night journeys to destinations like St. Thomas and Falmouth, Jamaica, following its early 2026 makeover.
Rounding out the fleet is Radiance of the Seas sailing from Tampa, offering a mix of Western Caribbean itineraries that also feature the upcoming Royal Beach Club Cozumel. This deployment clearly outlines Royal Caribbean’s strategy to maximize access to its new exclusive destinations and offer versatile cruising options for first-time cruisers and seasoned travelers alike.
