The sun never sets on Royal Caribbean’s fleet. With 22 innovative ships sailing the seven seas to 233

destinations in 72 countries on six continents, Royal Caribbean wrote the book on global travel. The cruise line delivers countless opportunities to see the world—the whole world. From the Caribbean to Alaska, the Orient to Australia, and the Middle East to the Mediterranean and beyond, Royal Caribbean calls on the most exotic and alluring ports on the planet. Never forgetting that “Caribbean” is its middle name,

Royal Caribbean bases seven of its ships in the Caribbean year-round, including Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas—the two largest cruise ships in the world—with another eight ships delivering guests to tropical paradises throughout the winter months.When things start heating up, the fleet repositions to new

travel read only a page.”

homeports around the world on a quest to bring guests the vacation of a lifetime, every time—and everywhere. Few places in the world present the jaw-dropping grandeur

and unbridled beauty of Alaska, America’s Last Frontier. Royal Caribbean allows guests to answer the call of the wild aboard Rhapsody of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas, which were designed to let the sights of the sea be the star. In Alaska, those sights include Hubbard Glacier, the longest river of ice in North America, and Tracy Arm Fjord, a narrow, twisting slice of ocean nestled between 3,000-foot-high granite walls. The dramatic cliffs and alpine glaciers where enormous moose and bears roam set the backdrop for some of the most adventure-rich excursions Royal Caribbean offers. Zoom down a 1,300-foot mountain on the ZipRider at Icy Strait Point, the world’s largest zip line; take a dogsled ride across an ice field in Juneau; or pan for real gold on a trip to the Klondike Gold Fields.

As the day draws to a close in the Caribbean, the shimmering blue-green waters grow dark under the setting sun. Across the region, soothing sounds of reggae beats float on the breezes as Royal Caribbean International captains point the bows of cruise ships toward the next tropical destination and sail into the night. On the other side of the globe, the day’s first light is already shining upon Voyager of the Seas in its home port of Shanghai and brightening the decks of Radiance of the Seas in the Tasmanian Sea. In the warm waters of Bali’s Padang Bay to the east, Rhapsody of the Seas crew members are busy making the last-minute preparations before guests are roused by the light of day.

Royal Caribbean cruises also offer unparalleled glimpses into a culture that spans more than 5,000 years: the Far East. It is, quite literally, a world away from the tropical cruise experience, a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, tastes, and adventures. Think: the Great Wall of China, the Terracotta Army, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square. Royal Caribbean calls on ports like Hong Kong, Asia’s World City; Naha, Japan, the home of the impressive Shuri Castle; and Ho Chi Minh City, where guests can learn how to prepare their own Vietnamese meal under the direction of a skilled local chef.In the land down under, Royal Caribbean invites

vacationers to discover the wonders of Australia, New Zealand, and the islands—think: Fiji, Tahiti, and Tasmania. Two innovative ships deliver guests to ports where they can spot frolicking dolphins, tour Bordeaux-style wine regions, and encounter koalas, kangaroos, wombats, and rare Tasmanian devils.

sail south from China to become the largest cruise ship ever based in Australia. In fact, the 3,114-passenger ship is twice as large as the country’s biggest hotel. It will offer a mix of New Zealand, South Pacific, and Australia itineraries, ranging from one to 18 nights. In the Holy Land, where myth and mystery meet, new Royal

Caribbean itineraries provide an opportunity to follow in the long-gone footsteps of legendary leaders and charging crusaders on a fantastic journey through a global spiritual center. Imagine a cruise vacation that offers the chance to visit the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the magnificent Sphinx and the Egyptian pyramids in Cairo, and the mighty Colosseum in Rome—all in the same week.On the edge of the desert in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai

is Royal Caribbean’s newest destination. With opulent beauty, rich history, and overt modernity, Dubai is a dream homeport from which to explore the otherworldly
