Of the major cruise lines, few offer a more diverse lineup of ship classes than Royal Caribbean. In fact, for the most-part, Royal Caribbean ship classes are quite distinguishable from each other. In this post, we’re highlighting class specific features and giving you the insight to choose the best ship for your next Royal Caribbean cruise.
Royal Caribbean has been a leading innovator in the cruising industry for over five decades. From 1996 through 2021, Royal Caribbean introduced a new cruise ship every year in all but six of those years. Their current fleet of 26 ships which includes two under construction, are grouped into seven ship classes, each with their own base of specific common features.

The Odyssey of the Seas is scheduled to be delivered in April. The original plan was to sail the ship from Rome.
Royal Caribbean International will launch the Odyssey of the Seas, its newest ship, from Israel in May on what the line is calling the first fully vaccinated sailings, on which both crew and guests over the age of 16 will have to be vaccinated against Covid-19.
The line s first cruises from Israel will visit Greece and Cyprus on three- to seven-day sailings from Haifa and will only be open to residents of Israel, which currently leads the world in vaccinations per capita, with more than half its population having received a Covid-19 vaccination. The U.S., by comparison, has vaccinated 15% of its population, according to the University of Oxford s Our World in Data project.
