Royal Caribbean International has announced that new Utopia of the Seas will homeport year-round at Port Canaveral beginning July 2024. The ship will sail 3- and 4-day journeys to Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in The Bahamas. Utopia will join her sister ships, Wonder of the Seas and Voyager-class Adventure of the Seas when she arrives next year, establishing Port Canaveral as the homeport for two of the world’s largest three ships.

The debut of Utopia of the Seas will introduce an array of signature adventures alongside innovative features and reimagined experiences. Notably, it will include access to the newly unveiled adults-only Hideaway Beach, set to open in early 2024. Guests can look forward to indulging in a new Caribbean tiki bar, an immersive dining experience like no other, the longest and most thrilling dry slide at sea, newly designed resort-style pools, and much more.

The ship will be the third largest cruise ship globally, measuring 1,188 feet long, 211 feet wide, and featuring 18 decks to accommodate 5,668 guests. Among its remarkable features, Utopia will boast 5 pools, 3 water slides, 21 dining venues, 23 bars, 2 casinos, and 8 hot tubs, and will be the only Oasis-class ship to include 2 Solarium Suites. Bookings will open on Royal Caribbean’s website this Friday, June 23, 2023.

Utopia of the Seas is a state-of-the-art cruise ship that will offer guests a variety of exciting experiences and amenities. The ship’s homeporting at Port Canaveral will make it a convenient and popular destination for travelers from all over the world.

• Utopia of the Seas will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is a cleaner-burning fuel than traditional marine fuels.
• The ship will feature several sustainable design features, such as energy-efficient lighting and water conservation measures.
• Utopia of the Seas will be the first Oasis-class ship to offer a new suite category called the Solarium Suites. These suites will be located on the top deck of the ship and will feature private balconies with panoramic views.
