Royal Caribbean International

A core brand under Royal Caribbean Group, Royal Caribbean International operates Icon-class and Oasis-class ships in the world's largest category, with gross tonnage of around 240,000 tons. It has been introducing Icon-class ships almost every year, including Icon of the Seas in 2024, Star of the Seas in 2025, and Legend of the Seas, entering service in August 2026. Ships are organized into neighborhoods containing water parks, ice-skating rinks, rock-climbing facilities, and numerous specialty restaurants, reflecting a design philosophy that makes time onboard itself the purpose of the trip. In the Caribbean, the main offering is short cruises to seven nights centered on the private Bahamian island Perfect Day at CocoCay. Ships are repositioned to the Mediterranean, Alaska, and Northern Europe in summer, and to Asia and Oceania in winter. In Asia, Spectrum of the Seas operates from Hong Kong and Shanghai, while Navigator of the Seas will homeport in Singapore for the first time from October 2026, strengthening the brand's presence in Southeast Asia. Fares are at a similar level to those of other casual ships in the same class, but numerous specialty restaurants and attractions require payment, so the proportion of onboard extra charges is relatively high.
