Royal Caribbean Cruises
The world’s biggest ships and the most to do at sea — from Alaska glaciers out of Seattle to Caribbean beach days on a private island. Here’s everything you need to know, and I’ll handle the booking.
Big-ship fun, done better than anyone
Royal Caribbean International is the world’s largest cruise line by guest capacity, and it builds the largest, most activity-packed ships on the ocean. It’s the line I recommend most for families, first-time cruisers, and anyone who wants a resort-at-sea where there’s always something to do — surfing, skating, Broadway shows and a private island stop, all in one trip.
Around 29 ships, from record-breakers to intimate favorites
Bigger isn’t always better — I’ll match you to the right ship for your travel style and destination.
Icon Class
Icon of the Seas (2024) and Star of the Seas (2025) — currently tied as the largest cruise ships in the world, with eight themed neighborhoods.
