Royal Caribbean’s newest ship, the Utopia of the Seas, sailed into its home port of Port Canaveral, Florida ahead of its first voyage on July 19, offering shorter 3-night weekend and 4-night weekday sailings.
The ship will also offer a celebration featuring GRAMMY-winning artist and songwriter Meghan Trainor, who is the ship’s godmother.
The Utopia of the Seas offers over 40 dining and drinking venues, two casinos, a new Caribbean tiki bar, an immersive train car dining experience, the longest dry slide at sea and much more.
When the ship debuts next week, it’ll sail on voyages to the cruise line’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, along with Nassau in The Bahamas.
The ship was built in Saint-Nazaire, France at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyards.
"With the delivery of Utopia of the Seas, we have the keys to the ultimate weekend," added CEO of Royal Caribbean International, Michael Bayley when the ship was first delivered to the line in June. "This is the short vacation that packs every way to make amazing memories in a 3-night weekend or 4-night weekday getaway. Vacationers want every minute to be a minute well spent, and the unmatched combination of Utopia and Perfect Day at CocoCay will deliver that. We are proud and excited to soon debut Utopia in a big way!"
