Royal Caribbean's New 2026-2027 Sailings From U.S. Ports: Let's Get Planning

Travelers can now book your exciting vacation aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise as far in advance as 2026 and 2027. The line has released its sailings departing from Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico, Bayonne, and Baltimore.

You can set sail on an unforgettable adventure from a U.S. home port from Washington, California, Alaska, Texas, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and Puerto Rico.

Booking a last-minute cruise can be exciting, but planning ahead offers many advantages. Whether you need to coordinate schedules, plan your budget, or organize a group, Royal Caribbean’s sailings, now open through April 2027, give you short-term and long-term advance planning options for your perfect voyage.

Get ready for the ultimate island-hopping adventures! Enjoy four to 12-night cruises to stunning destinations, including Royal Caribbean’s private island- Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas and the upcoming Royal Beach Club Cozumel, opening in 2026. Setting sail from Miami and Port Canaveral (Orlando), the cutting-edge Icon of the Seas and its sister ship Star of the Seas, which joins the fleet in summer 2025, offers thrilling 7-night journeys to the eastern and western Caribbean.

There are even more tropical escapes from Tampa, San Juan, Galveston, and Fort Lauderdale, where the soon-to-be-amplified Allure of the Seas promises unmatched fun and relaxation. Looking for the convenience of sailing from the Northeast? Set sail from Cape Liberty/Bayonne or Baltimore for scenic adventures.

These cruises are packed with incredible experiences! Thrill-seekers will love the waterslides at Thrill Waterpark and the adults-only Hideaway Beach at CocoCay. Over in Labadee, you can ride on the world's longest overwater zip line. And in 2026, you can kick back at the Royal Beach Club Cozumel with swim-up bars and pristine pools. Explore hotspots across the eastern, western, and southern Caribbean, such as St. Kitts and St. Maarten, or explore north at spots like Boston and Portland in New England and Halifax, Nova Scotia, in Canada.
