Cruise to unforgettable destinations with Royal Caribbean.
LABADIE, Haiti — The postcard-perfect curves of Labadie Bay in northern Haiti still sparkle in the sun, but the soundtrack has changed.
MIAMI, United States — The turquoise waters and palm-lined beaches that entice South Floridians southward are now paired with a series of stern warnings from Washington. Miami cruise passengers and sun-seekers alike should note that three neighboring destinations—Haiti, Turks and Caicos, and Trinidad and Tobago—carry some of the region’s highest U.S. State Department risk ratings.
MIAMI, United States — Royal Caribbean International has given travelers a first look at Star of the Seas, its newest “Icon Class” vessel and the cruise line’s latest attempt to redefine the family vacation, according to a press release by Royal Caribbean.
In a fitting pairing of icons, Royal Caribbean International has announced that legendary singer Diana Ross will serve as the godmother of Star of the Seas, the cruise line’s newest and most anticipated Icon Class ship, launching August 2025 from Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida.
Royal Caribbean International has announced a third preview sailing for its newest ship, the Star of the Seas, ahead of the vessel’s official maiden voyage. The three-night cruise will depart from Port Canaveral, Florida on August 20, 2024, offering early access to the line’s second Icon-class cruise ship.
Royal Caribbean has officially named its third Icon-class cruise ship Legend of the Seas, set to sail in both Europe and the Caribbean during its inaugural seasons. Bookings for the highly anticipated vessel will open on February 20, with Crown and Anchor Society loyalty members receiving early access up to 24 hours prior.
According to Royal Caribbean, Legend of the Seas will enhance the signature experiences introduced by Icon of the Seas, the first ship in the class, though specific details have yet to be announced.
Passengers aboard Royal Caribbean’s Odyssey of the Seas faced turbulent conditions during the ship's transatlantic voyage from Rome to New York, as severe storms forced an abrupt course adjustment. The captain’s announcement warned passengers about potential rough weather and advised them to remain seated for safety during the maneuver.
