Royal Caribbean sails to more than one hundred and seventy destinations to the most exciting places around the world with numerous shore excursions and cruise options. Ports of call include the Bahamas and Bermuda, the Caribbean, Mexico, Norway, Alaska and Canada, the Panama Canal and closer to hand Europe. Often referred to as the cruise line with the wow factor and the one that put ice skating rinks, rock climbing walls, surfing simulators and other novel and inventive facilities on cruise ships.

When planning a Royal Caribbean cruise the first thing to consider is which port you want to go to and which one you want to depart from. This is not likely to be a problem as they sail to more than a hundred different ports and depart from the international ports of Southampton and Harwich in the UK.

Royal Caribbean cruise tours to Australia, South America, Whistler, Canadian Rockies, Alaska and Europe combine cruising with land tours for a total experience. A chance to take in the scenery, visit historic landmarks, sample cultures, cuisine and stay in the finest hotels whilst travelling by train or deluxe motor coach.

There are six classes of Royal Caribbean ship:
