Royal Caribbean Announces New 2027–28 Caribbean Adventures

Royal Caribbean is turning up the heat for 2027–28 with a brand-new lineup of Caribbean cruises designed for every kind of vacationer — from weekend getaways to weeklong escapes — sailing from Florida homeports in Port Canaveral (Orlando), Miami, and Tampa.

Beginning April 2027, travelers can choose from 2- to 8-night itineraries that showcase both classic destinations and exciting new additions. Highlights include the long-awaited return to Samaná, Dominican Republic, and the debut of Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau, The Bahamas, as well as Royal Beach Club Cozumel in Mexico. These adventures join Royal Caribbean’s award-winning Perfect Day at CocoCay, and the upcoming Perfect Day Mexico, set to open in late 2027.
