Sun-seeking holidaymakers now have more ways to island hop in the tropics, following the opening of Royal Caribbean International’s 2025-2026 Caribbean holidays. A lineup of seven Royal Caribbean hits and all-time favourites sailing from Florida, Texas or Puerto Rico, including the record-breaking Icon of the Seas in Miami and game-changing Oasis Class ships Oasis and Harmony of the Seas, makes for a variety of 6- to 8-night Caribbean getaways for every type of family and adventurer. Crown & Anchor Society loyalty members can be one of the first to book the new adventures on Royal Caribbean’s website starting today, ahead of the official opening on Thursday, Nov. 16.
Guests can escape to the Caribbean and The Bahamas from six popular jumping-off points at any time of the year, including Miami, where Icon returns with 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings. The lineup’s highlights also include adventures in the western Caribbean on Harmony, which makes a bold return to Royal Caribbean’s net-zero cruise terminal in Galveston, Texas, and Oasis in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, visiting the eastern, western and southern Caribbean. Adventure of the Seas from Orlando (Port Canaveral), Florida, Independence of the Seas from Miami, Rhapsody from both Tampa, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico; as well as Grandeur of the Seas from Tampa round out the newly revealed holidays.
