Royal Caribbean Unveils Exciting Short Caribbean Itineraries for 2026-27

Royal Caribbean International has announced plans for a Caribbean cruise program for 2026-27, featuring two- to five-night voyages on 11 of its ships. This lineup includes four Oasis-class vessels as well as ships from the Freedom, Voyager, and Vision classes.

A highlight of this season will be the introduction of two new Royal Beach Clubs in the Bahamas and Mexico. The Royal Beach Club located on Paradise Island in Nassau is set to open in December 2025, while its counterpart in Cozumel will welcome guests in late 2026.

The Utopia of the Seas will continue to operate year-round three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral. Meanwhile, the Wonder of the Seas and Freedom of the Seas will also be offering three- to five-night voyages from Miami.

Most itineraries will include a visit to Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. During the summer, the Mariner of the Seas is planned to conduct four- and five-night trips to Mexico from Galveston. At the same time, the Rhapsody of the Seas will feature similar departures from Tampa.

Additionally, the Grandeur of the Seas is looking to provide short getaway cruises during summer, visiting the Bahamas and Key West from Fort Lauderdale. Five other ships will operate short routes in winter, including the Harmony of the Seas and the Explorer of the Seas, sailing from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and Caribbean. The Liberty of the Seas will conduct four- and five-night trips to Mexico from Galveston, while the Oasis of the Seas will operate three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas from Fort Lauderdale. Lastly, the Vision of the Seas is returning to Miami for short cruises sailing to various destinations in the Bahamas and Florida, including Bimini, Perfect Day at CocoCay, and Key West.
