Royal Caribbean Unveils 2024-2025 Lineup of Short Caribbean Cruises

Royal Caribbean International has announced its lineup of short Caribbean cruises for 2024-2025. Eight ships, including Allure of the Seas, the first Oasis Class ship to sail three to four-night cruises, will be setting sail for vacationers, families and friends looking for a perfect short escape to tropical destinations. The cruise line will offer a wide range of options for vacationers with amplified ships and new experiences onboard from four different cities in Florida, Texas and California. Among the sun-soaked destinations on the itinerary are Royal Caribbean’s Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas and Labadee, Haiti.

Perfect Day at CocoCay offers next-level waterslides and the new adults-only oasis, Hideaway Beach. On the other hand, Labadee has five stunning shorelines and beautiful mountain backdrops, where experiences range from taking in once-in-a-lifetime views on Dragon’s Breath Flight Line, the world’s longest overwater zipline, to relaxing on white sand beaches and exploring rich culture while meeting local crafters and artisans.

The ships on offer for short getaways include Allure of the Seas, Independence of the Seas, Mariner of the Seas, and Navigator of the Seas, which are offering itineraries for year-round vacations. Allure of the Seas will set sail from Port Canaveral and Miami, Florida, for its first year-round season of 3- to 4-night sailings on an Oasis Class ship. Independence of the Seas, sailing from Miami, is an amplified ship that offers unique experiences for everyone, such as restaurants like Fish & Ships, a poolside eatery, The Perfect Storm, a duo of racing waterslides, and glow-in-the-dark laser tag. Mariner of the Seas, sailing from Galveston, Texas, is an amplified ship that will sail for the first time from Royal Caribbean’s new $125 million cruise terminal, which is the world’s first LEED Zero Energy facility, generating 100% of the energy it needs through onsite solar panels. Finally, Navigator of the Seas, sailing from Los Angeles, has an on-board $115 million series of experiences, including a reimagined resort-style poolscape, three-level poolside bar The Lime & Coconut, the longest aqua coaster at sea, and the first standalone blow-dry bar, To Dry For.

Furthermore, Royal Caribbean will also offer seasonal 2024-2025 short cruise highlights on Enchantment of the Seas sailing from Tampa, Florida, for vacationers looking for winter getaways, where they can choose four or five-night cruises to visit Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico.

In summary, the Royal Caribbean International’s lineup of short Caribbean cruises for 2024-2025 is an excellent opportunity for vacationers to explore unique and stunning destinations while experiencing on-board amenities that cater to everyone's preferences.
