Utopia of the Seas - The World's largest Cruise Ship Coming in 2024

Utopia of the Seas will be the largest cruise ship in the world.

Royal Caribbean announced that work has officially started on the next Oasis Class cruise ship, Utopia of the Seas. While we don’t know much about it just yet, Royal Caribbean shared that it will be the largest cruise ship in the world and the first Oasis Class cruise ship to be powered by liquified natural gas.

I’m a big fan of the Oasis Class cruise ships, having just sailed on Symphony of the Seas, I can tell you there’s no experience like it. You can see photos from my adventure on my social media channels:

CDC No Longer Warning Travelers About Cruise Travel

CDC no longer warning travelers about risk of contracting COVID on cruise ships after 2 years

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention dropped its risk assessment of cruise travel yesterday after more than two years of warning travelers against the dangers of contracting COVID-19 on a cruise.

"CDC is removing the COVID-19 Cruise Ship Travel Health Notice," said spokesperson Dave Daigle.

Travelers can now make their own risk assessment when choosing to travel on a cruise ship, much like they do in all other travel settings.

Land and Sea Summer Vacay in Orlando

August deals on Royal Caribbean from Orlando (Port Canaveral, Florida) are available now

Earlier this week I shared that Disney Cruise Line is sold out for summer sailings. But it’s not too late! Go Royal Caribbean out of Port Canaveral and save big. Port Canaveral is less than an hour away from the Orlando theme parks and airport.

Tip #1 - Take Advantage of Royal Caribbean Offers in August

The cruise lines want your business. Obviously they have been hit hard by the pandemic plus they are recovering from a period of highly restrictive and confusing CDC regulations.

Perfect Day at Coco Cay - Royal Caribbean Cruise Line from Port Canaveral

The cruise lines have every reason to ensure guests are safe onboard. An outbreak on one ship, any ship, would be disastrous for the entire industry. No one wants that.

All of the major cruise lines have exceeded the CDC guidelines and have proven they can sail safely.

As the industry struggles to recover, the cruise lines are offering amazing discounts.

This is your opportunity to enjoy the family vacation of a lifetime, for less. This means you can do even more.

Take a look at these rates for August 2022 using Royal Caribbean’s latest promotion:

Port Canaveral (Orlando) - Oasis of the Seas - Royal Caribbean

Oasis of the Seas | Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean August Sailings from Port Canaveral, Florida*

August 1, 2022 - 4 night sailing from $433 per person

August 4, 2022 - 4 night sailing from $233 per person

August 5, 2022 - 3 night sailing from $318 per person

August 8, 2022 - 5 night sailing from $313 per person

August 12, 2022 - 3 night sailing from $309 per person

August 15, 2022 - 4 night sailing from $349 per person

August 19, 2022 - 3 night sailing from $309 per person

August 22, 2022 - 4 night sailing from $339 per person

August 26, 2022 - 3 night sailing from $288 per person

Tip 2: Visit the Orlando Theme Parks

You’ll be in Orlando anyway, so why not plan a visit to Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando?

I help clients everyday plan Land and Sea vacations in Orlando. A 3 or 4 night cruise on Royal Caribbean plus 3 or 4 nights at the Orlando theme parks is a great vacation.

Everyday I work with clients who trust me show them how to book a Land and Sea vacation. Put my experience to work

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line offers a family-focused vacation experience just like Disney Cruise Line. Actually, Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas, Perfect Day at Coco Cay, usually gets higher marks than Disney’s Castaway Cay Island.

Now is the best time to begin planning your summer vacation. Cruise fares will increase as the sail date gets closer. Those who book early save the most.

*Price is per person, in USD, for cruise only on select sailings and stateroom categories, based on double-occupancy, reflects any promotional savings, and is subject to change and availability. Taxes, fees, and port expenses are additional. Bookings made under the Non-Refundable Deposit Program are subject to a  100 USD cancellation or change fee per guest. Price includes non-commissionable cruise fare. Additional restrictions apply, including the terms and conditions of any promotions and pricing programs. © 2019 Royal Caribbean.
