Royal Caribbean International has revealed its Caribbean cruises for the 2026-2027 season, with 12 ships set to sail four- to 12-night itineraries from ports in Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico and the Northeast of the USA.
Star of the Seas, which is set to make its debut in summer 2025, will continue sailing from Port Canaveral in Florida on its year-round seven-night eastern and western Caribbean itineraries. Star will initially be joined by Adventure of the Seas at the start of the summer, before Adventure heads to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for the rest of the season.
The world’s largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, will continue sailing seven-night eastern and western Caribbean itineraries from Miami, including calls at Royal Caribbean’s private destination Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Following its planned $100 million refurbishment in 2025, Allure of the Seas will head to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for a series of six- and eight- night western, eastern and southern Caribbean cruises that will see it visit Nassau, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Curaçao and more. Meanwhile, Enchantment of the Seas will be embarking on seven-night western Caribbean voyages that will visit Belize and Mexico, including a stop at the new Royal Beach Club Cozumel following its opening in late 2026.

Two ships will be positioned in San Juan, Puerto Rico for the season; Brilliance of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas.

Oasis of the Seas will sail to the Caribbean in 2026-2027 from Cape Liberty in New Jersey
Further north, Cape Liberty Cruise Port in New Jersey will be the home Oasis of the Seas, Odyssey of the Seas and Independence of the Seas at different points throughout the year. During the summer, Oasis will sail seven- and nine-night voyages to The Bahamas, Nassau and Florida while Independence will sail to Bermuda and the eastern Caribbean on five- and nine-night cruises. Odyssey, meanwhile, will embark on longer 11- and 12-night vacations visiting destinations such as Basseterre, Barbados and St. Lucia.
Odyssey and Independence will continue to sail from Cape Liberty in the winter, with the latter combining short four-night sailings to Canada with longer nine-night itineraries in the Caribbean. Odyssey will instead offer 7- and 8-night cruises to Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Vision of the Seas completes the lineup, sailing from Baltimore, Maryland. A combination of five- and nine-night sailings during the summer will explore Bermuda and the Bahamas, while the autumn will see the ship head further north to Maine and Canada on nine-night voyages.
