RCI-Royal Caribbean has unveiled its 2026-2027 Summer and Year-Round Caribbean itineraries, now available for booking.

RCI's deployment includes some of the world's largest vessels.

The world’s largest cruise ship - Icon of the Seas, will maintain the year-round homeport in Miami FL, continuing to operate alternating 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. With a volume of 250,800 GT-tons, the 365-meter vessel features 20 decks, 2805 staterooms, and a guest capacity of 5610 at double occupancy. Highlights include 7 swimming pools, the largest waterpark at sea, and a 55-foot indoor waterfall.

Star of the Seas, the 2nd Icon Class ship, will sail from Port Canaveral FL after entering service in August 2025. Its 7-night itineraries will also alternate between the Eastern and Western Caribbean, positioning it close to Orlando’s renowned attractions.

For the first time, the Symphony of the Seas will homeport in Galveston TX, offering a range of 6-, 7-, and 8-night Western Caribbean sailings. This marks an expansion of RCI’s commitment to the Western Caribbean market, which will further grow with the anticipated opening of Perfect Day Mexico private beach resort in Costa Maya later in 2027.
