Royal Caribbean International has unveiled its European offering for summer 2024, featuring seven world-class ships and nine homeports that will visit iconic destinations, from Iceland's black sand beaches to Italy's stunning Amalfi Coast. The season will begin in May 2024 with the European debut of the expanded Oasis of the Seas.
Travelers dreaming of a summer getaway in Europe can choose from a variety of cruises. Sailing from Barcelona and Rome, the Oasis will be a highlight, offering a wealth of new experiences for the first time in Europe.
The Odyssey and Anthem of the Seas will return to sail from Rome and Southampton, respectively, with exclusive experiences including SeaPlex, the largest indoor/outdoor activity complex at sea, and Giovanni's Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar, the cruise line's latest Italian trattoria. On both returning favorites, guests can experience life 300 feet above the ocean in the North Star, the all-glass observation capsule, the RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator, and a variety of culinary delights, such as sushi and sashimi in Izumi and imaginative cuisine in the whimsical Wonderland.
The Explorer, the Voyager, the Jewel and the Ultimate World Cruise on the Serenade of the Seas complete the summer offering.
