Utopia of the Seas Floats! Next Stop: Orlando
When completed, Utopia of the Seas will be one of the largest cruise ships in the world. And she’s calling Orlando, Florida home in 2024.
The world’s biggest ship, Utopia of the Seas is now one step closer to its debut in Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida, in July 2024. This new Oasis Class ship floated for the first time at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.
Bookings are already underway for Utopia of the Seas and summer cruises are going fast. Utopia will sail 3- and 4-night cruises to the Bahamas. Get your quote now.
Known as the float out, the key moment in the construction of Utopia took 17 months to reach.
The process itself took nearly 15 hours, beginning with filling the new ship’s dry dock with more than 46 million gallons of water overnight.
Utopia was then moved into an outfitting dock, where it will be completed in summer 2024.
Utopia will now begin to come to life as its highly anticipated features are installed, from the longest dry slide at sea – the 295-foot-long Ultimate Abyss – to a first-of-its-kind immersive train car dining experience.
The ultimate 3-night weekend and 4-night weekday getaway will be the first in the revolutionary Oasis Class to offer short escapes when it debuts in July 2024.
Every vacation will feature visits to Nassau, The Bahamas, and Perfect Day at CocoCay – Royal Caribbean’s award-winning private island – that will feature its first adults-only slice of paradise, Hideaway Beach, starting in January 2024.
