The world’s largest cruise line, Royal Caribbean, is about to get even bigger when their next new ship debuts in less than 50 days.
Utopia of the Seas will be Royal Caribbean’s sixth Oasis class ship. The Oasis class ushered in the era of mega cruise ships when the first debuted back in 2009.
Utopia of the Seas will be the second largest cruise ship in the world when it sails its maiden voyage on July 19, 2024. The ship will homeport at Port Canaveral and sail three and four night cruises to The Bahamas.
The three night weekend cruises will depart on Friday and return on Monday. The four day cruises will depart each Monday and return on Friday.
Both itineraries will make two port stops, one in Nassau and the other at the cruise line’s insanely popular private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. The four night cruises will also have one sea day. You can view prices on cruises on Utopia of the Seas here.
