Cruise line info

Royal Caribbean International

Royal Caribbean International

Royal Caribbean International, the cruise line that delivers the "Wow!" and the one that put rock-climbing walls and ice-skating rinks on cruise ships. Whether you've sailed with us before or have just seen our commercials on TV, you may have the sense that we're not your average cruise line.

With more than 120 destinations worldwide and an amazing array of exciting shore excursions and cruisetour options, we're reaching out to vacationers eager to try something new – whether it's glacier-trekking in Alaska, swimming with stingrays in the Caribbean or strolling the Champs Élysées in Paris.

Royal Caribbean International has updated their smoking policy to stand in line with the Royal Caribbean Vitality wellness program. This introduces smoke free zones in all staterooms and suites, most public areas except for designated bars and lounges. For more details click here.
