Royal Caribbean Unveils 2025-26 Caribbean Itineraries

Following the launch of Royal Caribbean International’s 2025-2026 Caribbean holidays, sun-seekers now have additional options for island hopping in the tropics. Seven of Royal Caribbean’s greatest hits and fan favourites sail from Florida, Texas, or Puerto Rico on a wide variety of 6- to 8-night Caribbean itineraries, including the record-breaking Icon of the Seas in Miami and the game-changing Oasis Class ships Oasis and Harmony of the Seas.

With Icon’s return to Miami, offering 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, vacationers may leave from any of six popular departure ports and be in the Caribbean or the Bahamas at any time.

Highlights of the itinerary include the eastern, western, and southern Caribbean on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and the western Caribbean on Harmony, which returns to Royal Caribbean’s net-zero cruise terminal in Galveston, Texas.

The newly announced cruises depart from several U.S. ports, such as Orlando (Port Canaveral) on the Adventure of the Seas, Miami on the Independence of the Seas, Tampa on the Rhapsody, and San Juan on the Grandeur of the Seas.

There are many excellent restaurants, activities, and beaches in store. Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis; Cozumel, Mexico; Castries, St. Lucia; St. John’s, Antigua; St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands; and others are all fantastic destinations for families and tourists of all ages. Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas and Labadee in Haiti are just two of Royal Caribbean’s own islands that six of the seven ships call on. From Labadee’s five breathtaking shorelines and a culturally rich local artisans’ market to Perfect Day at CocoCay’s two towers of adrenaline-pumping waterslides at Thrill Waterpark, the destinations offer various experiences to suit any mood or style.

An Encore of Iconic Vacations

The ultimate combination of memory-making on land and onboard is in store on Icon. There are ways to thrill, chill and everything in between, with six new record-breaking waterslides, seven pools – one for every day of the week – Surfside, the first stay-all-day neighbourhood designed for young families; more show-stopping entertainment, live music and experiences for kids, teens, adults, and the whole family; 40-plus ways to dine and drink; and more.
