Royal Caribbean International, a leader in the global cruise industry, was established in 1968 in Norway through a collaboration of three Norwegian shipping companies. It launched its first ship, Song of Norway, in 1970, pioneering the concept of purpose-built cruise ships. Over the decades, the brand has grown tremendously, consistently raising the bar in terms of onboard innovation, guest experience, and destination offerings.
Today, Royal Caribbean operates one of the world’s largest and most technologically advanced fleets. With over 20 ships sailing worldwide, the line is renowned for its groundbreaking vessel designs, such as the Oasis and Quantum class ships. These ships feature signature experiences like the FlowRider surf simulator, skydiving simulators, ice skating rinks, zip lines, and the tallest slide at sea – Ultimate Abyss. The brand caters to all types of travellers – from families and couples to solo adventurers. Their award-winning private island in the Bahamas, Perfect Day at CocoCay, has redefined the cruise line private destination experience, with attractions such as the tallest waterslide in North America and a helium balloon ride offering panoramic views. Their newest ship, Icon of the Seas, launched in 2024, is being hailed as the largest and most environmentally friendly cruise ship ever built, blending sustainability with next-level luxury.
With a strong focus on guest satisfaction, environmental responsibility, and continuous innovation, Royal Caribbean remains a trendsetter in the cruise world. Whether seeking adventure, relaxation, or immersive cultural experiences, guests can expect a holiday that’s both memorable and unmatched in value and entertainment.
