Royal Caribbean Ready For Winter 2021-2022

Royal Caribbean International unveiled updated details for its 2021-22 winter sailings, including new itineraries in the Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand. The adapted schedule – informed by market research and valuable feedback from guests and travel partners around the world – adds variety in departure ports and itinerary length.

Guests will have even more choices in the Caribbean with ships sailing from the most popular cruise ports across Florida and Texas. In Australia, vacationers can choose from three ships sailing throughout the South Pacific and New Zealand.

The new itineraries combined with Royal Caribbean ships and crew will deliver the signature vacation experience that guests know and love. Most importantly, the global cruise line is applying the best available public health, science and engineering insights to deliver a safer and healthier cruise vacation.

Guests with confirmed bookings between October 2021 and March 2022 whose cruises are affected by these changes will be notified directly.
