Royal Caribbean has announced that its entire fleet is scheduled to be sailing again by spring 2022.
The next group of returning ships will set sail in September with Oasis of the Seas’ first cruise — a seven-night to the Bahamas — from Cape Liberty, New Jersey. In November, Navigator of the Seas will arrive in Los Angeles to begin three to five-night cruises to Catalina Island and Mexico.
“We are excited and appreciative to be able to say with confidence when all of our ships will return, especially for travelers looking ahead to plan their getaways. More than 110,000 guests have cruised with us since December, and they’ve done so safely while enjoying the memorable vacations they trust we’ll bring to life,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.
“It’s been incredible to see families come together again on board our ships sailing in the U.S., the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. And to know we’ll soon welcome more in a safe manner when our entire fleet is back by spring 2022 is wonderful.”
The plans for the return of all 26 ships add to previously-announced milestones for the line coming later this year, including its return to California and the start of the first full winter season from Barbados.
