Royal Caribbean, the world's largest cruise line, has mapped out where each of its 30 ships will sail between January 2027 and April 2028 — and Florida travelers have plenty to look forward to. A total of 24 ships will operate Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries, departing from Miami, Port Canaveral, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, and other Gulf and East Coast ports.
Fans of the line's private island destination will have no shortage of options: 19 ships are slated to call at Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas, while 17 ships will visit Nassau, giving guests a chance to experience the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island.
Beyond the tropics, Royal Caribbean plans a robust Alaska season with four ships sailing round-trip from Seattle and Vancouver, as well as one-way voyages between Vancouver and Seward, Alaska. Four ships will also operate from California ports in Los Angeles and San Diego, with several of those vessels later repositioning to Asia for sailings out of Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.
Europe gets seven ships during the summer and early fall of 2027, homeporting in Barcelona, Rome (Civitavecchia), Athens, Southampton, and Ravenna. Rounding out the global picture, three ships will serve Australia from Sydney and Brisbane, with some overlap in the Alaska and Asia deployments as ships reposition throughout the season.
Royal Caribbean noted that this deployment information reflects scheduling as of June 29, 2026. The full ship-by-ship breakdown was reported by Cruise Fever.
