Royal Caribbean has revealed new short Caribbean sailings from five different homeports in Florida and Texas from 2022 to 2023. This will be a great opportunity for guests to get a quick three to five-night getaway from major cruise hubs, and of course, Royal Caribbean’s own private island plays a major role.
Royal Caribbean Short Cruises
It’s looking like shorter sailings will be a lot more popular moving forward as Royal Caribbean has announced new shorter getaways for just 3- to 5-nights. A total of eight Royal Caribbean cruise ships will sail shorter cruises to the Caribbean across five different homeports in Texas and Florida during 2022-23.
Year-Round Short Getaways
Offering year-round shorter cruises will be Freedom of the Seas with 3- and 4-night itineraries out of Miami. The ship will sail to Nassau and the cruise line’s popular private island of Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Independence of the Seas will also continue to offer year-round short sailings on 3- and 4-night getaways out of Port Canaveral, Florida. The ship will offer full-day visits to Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Liberty of the Seas will take a turn in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to sail alternating 3- and 4-night winter escapes to The Bahamas, including Perfect Day at CocoCay and Grand Bahama Island – a new destination for the ship.
