In July 2024, Royal Caribbean Utopia of the Seas set sail as the newest member of Royal Caribbean International's Oasis Class. It proudly stands as the sixth massive cruise ship in this impressive collection. With room for more than 6,900 passengers, the boat got its name after considering nearly 25 different trademarked names.
What makes Utopia of the Seas special is that it's the first in its class to use eco-friendly Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as fuel. This is a big step for the environment, and it's the second Royal Caribbean ship to adopt this eco-friendly technology, following the example of the Icon of the Seas.
Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas, although the total number of cabins remains undisclosed, promises a diverse array of accommodations. With 20 distinct types, the ship caters to various group sizes, offering layouts made for three, four, five, and larger groups.
Entertainment abounds on board, from live music at Music Hall to thrilling high dive shows in the Aqua Theater. Enjoy outdoor movie nights by the pool or test your luck at the Casino Royale. And think about having great downtime for networking and socializing, with over 40 dining and drinking options and amazing shows.
The Utopia of the Seas redefines luxury and adventure, offering an unparalleled cruising experience. This engineering marvel is part of Royal Caribbean's Oasis Class, celebrated for its grandeur and innovative amenities. Step aboard and be captivated by neighborhood-themed areas, including the lush Central Park and vibrant Boardwalk, each offering distinct experiences. The ship's Ultimate Abyss, the tallest slide at sea, promises adrenaline-filled thrills, while its FlowRider® surf simulator lets you ride the waves without leaving the deck.
Food enthusiasts will revel in Utopia of the Sea’s dining options, which feature specialty restaurants serving global cuisines and the exclusive Chef's Table for intimate gourmet experiences. Robotic bartenders at the Bionic Bar bring a futuristic twist to mixology, creating cocktails with flair. The ship offers unmatched entertainment, including Broadway-caliber performances and breathtaking ice-skating shows. Families will love the largest Splashaway Bay water park at sea, alongside exclusive experiences for kids and teens. Adults can relax in serene, adults-only Solarium pools or rejuvenate at the state-of-the-art spa.
With cutting-edge staterooms, eco-friendly initiatives, enrichment programs, and the latest technology to enhance your voyage, Utopia of the Seas is a floating city for explorers seeking the ultimate vacation.

Starting in July 2024, the Utopia of the Seas homeported year-round at Port Canaveral, Florida. This new Oasis-class ship from Royal Caribbean is designed for shorter itineraries, including 3- and 4-day trips to destinations such as Perfect Day at CocoCay, the company's private island in the Bahamas.
Port Canaveral was chosen for its strategic location and reputation as a premier departure point, joining other Royal Caribbean ships homeported there, such as the Wonder of the Seas.
Starting 11 November 2023, if you're staying in a regular room or a Junior Suite, you'll see a daily service gratuity of USD 18.00 per person. For those in Suites, the daily charge is more, at USD 20.50 per person. This amount is automatically added to your SeaPass account daily to thank the crew for their hard work, including those in dining, bar, culinary services, stateroom attendants, and behind-the-scenes hotel services teams.
If, by any chance, you feel the service doesn't meet your expectations, you can change this daily amount by visiting Guest Services on the ship until the morning of your departure. You will only see a daily charge during your cruise if you've paid your gratuity in advance.
The automatic gratuity is a common practice in the industry and is meant to make recognizing and rewarding the crew members who make your cruise better a smoother process. We appreciate your generosity in recognizing our staff's hard work.
Also, it's good to know that an 18% gratuity is added to all drink and mini bar purchases, and a 20% gratuity is added to spa and salon expenses.

*Guests who have already prepaid won't be affected by these changes, but the new rates will apply from November 11, 2023, for those planning to pay onboard.
*Add prepaid gratuities to your reservation up to 48 hours before your sail date.
