Royal Caribbean has announced that one of their cruise ships will sail a second consecutive season out of Barbados for the 2022-2023 season.
Rhapsody of the Seas will offer seven and 14 night cruises to the Southern Caribbean from November 2022 through April 2023. The new Southern Caribbean cruises from Barbados are now open for bookings.
News of a second Barbados season comes hot on the heels of the announcement of Bridgetown as the cruise line’s newest homeport beginning December 2021.
Committed to delivering the ultimate cruise vacation from every port of departure, Royal Caribbean’s partnership with Barbados provides a unique opportunity for immersive cultural experiences that travelers crave.
Whether opting to arrive a few days early or extend their stay post-cruise, guests can discover different sides of this small but mighty island; from wandering the winding streets of charming towns or scaling Mount Hillaby, the island’s highest peak, to setting a towel down on gorgeous beaches across the country’s 11 unique parishes.
The itineraries and ports of call for the newly announced cruises are:
- Seven night Southern Caribbean Island Hop: Visiting Scarborough, Tobago; Port of Spain, Trinidad; St. George’s, Grenada; Kingstown, St. Vincent; Roseau, Dominica; and Castries, St. Lucia
