Amazing Ships to Deploy to Europe

Europe is a top cruise destination, from northern European voyages to Mediterranean adventures to the British Isles, Iceland, the Norwegian fjords, and much more. In summer 2024, cruisers will have the chance to do it all from their favorite Royal Caribbean ships.

Seven vessels representing four unique ship classes are slated for deployment to Europe from May 2024, including;

  • Sister ships in the Radiance class, Jewel of the Seas and Serenade of the Seas
  • Voyager class sisters Voyager of the Seas and Explorer of the Seas
  • Quantum-class Anthem of the Seas and her related sub-class sister Quantum-Ultra-class Odyssey of the Seas
  • Oasis-class Oasis of the Seas

Oasis of the Seas, now amplified with $165 million worth of upgrades and renovations, will be the largest Royal Caribbean ship in Europe for the summer, and it will be her first season in the region since her month-long amplification in 2019.

While the features on the ships vary, aboard these vessels, cruisers can find everything Royal Caribbean is well-known for.

Try adventurous thrills with the Flowrider surf simulator, classic rock climbing walls, and Ripcord by iFly skydiving simulator; glide down the tallest slides at sea with The Ultimate Abyss; wonder at outstanding entertainment with air, ice, water, and theater production shows; dine on foods to suit every taste, and so much more.

Plentiful Homeports and Diverse Itineraries

With so many ships to spend the summer in the region, eager travelers will have their choice of homeports to set sail with Royal Caribbean.

Depending on the ship, voyages will begin from Southampton, England; Rome and Ravenna in Italy; Barcelona, Spain; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Athens, Greece; and Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Yet the destinations aren’t limited to those homeport countries.

Itineraries range from 5-17 nights and include such sought-after places to visit as Iceland, Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, France, Portugal, Montenegro, Ireland, and the Canary Islands.

Guests interested in even more exotic itineraries can consider options that visit the Arctic Circle, Croatia, or the Norwegian fjords for spectacular vistas and unforgettable explorations.

Royal Caribbean’s 2024 summer European sailings are now on sale and available for bookings for all ships but Voyager of the Seas. Options for that vessel will become available on Friday, November 18, 2022.
