Royal Caribbean announced a new Caribbean adventure lineup that will launch in 2027 and 2028, featuring 2‑ to 8‑night itineraries departing from its Florida homeports. The announcement, made on November 4, 2025, introduces a mix of flagship and short‑getaway ships that will serve a broad range of customer preferences.
The lineup highlights the Icon‑class Star of the Seas, which entered service in August 2025, and the Oasis‑class Harmony of the Seas, which is scheduled for a major amplification in April and May 2026. Short‑getaway itineraries will also feature Utopia of the Seas, which began sailing in July 2024, and Wonder of the Seas, which will depart from Miami.
Exclusive beach‑club experiences are a key differentiator in the new package. Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau is slated to open in December 2025, while Royal Beach Club Cozumel in Mexico will open in 2026. These clubs provide guests with private, high‑quality land‑based activities that complement the cruise experience and drive higher per‑guest spend.
The expansion of the exclusive destination portfolio is expected to increase yields and strengthen customer loyalty. By adding new itineraries and beach‑club access, Royal Caribbean aims to capture additional market share in the competitive Caribbean market and boost pre‑cruise revenue through early bookings. The strategy aligns with the company’s broader focus on fleet modernization and differentiated destinations to sustain growth.
Royal Caribbean’s Q3 2025 earnings, released on October 28, 2025, showed an EPS beat of $0.06 per share, driven by strict cost controls and a favorable mix of high‑margin itineraries. However, revenue fell short of expectations by $30 million, largely due to a 4% decline in legacy cruise demand and the temporary closure of the Labadee port. The mixed results prompted a 7.65% drop in the company’s market value, underscoring the importance of the new lineup as a confidence‑building initiative.
Crown & Anchor Society members can book the new itineraries immediately, with the general public opening on November 5, 2025. The early booking window signals Royal Caribbean’s confidence in demand and provides a revenue‑generating period ahead of the first sailings.
