Royal Caribbean International will offer two- to five-night cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas onboard 11 ships in 2026-27. According to a press release, the lineup includes four Oasis-class ships, in addition to Freedom, Voyager and Vision-class vessels. The season is highlighted by two new Royal Beach Clubs, which are being built by Royal Caribbean in the Bahamas and Mexico. Located in Nassau, the new Royal Beach Club Paradise Island is set to open in December 2025, while the Royal Beach Club Cozumel welcomes its first guests in late 2026. Sailing from Port Canaveral, the Utopia of the Seas continues to offer three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas on a year-round basis. Two ships, the Wonder of the Seas and the Freedom of the Seas, offer three- to five-night cruises from Miami.

The itineraries are highlighted by visits to Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas, Perfect Day at CocoCay.

The Mariner of the Seas is scheduled to offer four- and five-night cruises to Mexico from Galveston during the summer, while the Rhapsody of the Seas offers similar itineraries departing from Tampa during the same timeframe.

The Grandeur of the Seas is also scheduled to offer short getaway cruises during the summer, visiting the Bahamas and Key West from its homeport in Fort Lauderdale.

Five additional ships are scheduled to offer short cruises during the winter, including the Harmony of the Seas and the Explorer of the Seas, which will sail from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and the Caribbean. The Liberty of the Seas offers four- and five-night cruises to Mexico departing from Galveston, while the Oasis of the Seas operates three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale. The Vision of the Seas is scheduled to return to Miami for a series of three- and four-night cruises that sail to destinations in the Bahamas and Florida, such as Bimini, Perfect Day at CocoCay and Key West.
