𝐑𝐎𝐘𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐁𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐌𝐌𝐄𝐑 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟖 𝐄𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐍𝐄 - 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄'𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖...
Always much anticipated, Royal Caribbean released their Summer 2028 European Season today... Part One! There's more to come. Here's what was unveiled today and what we think is coming...
𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐈𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐧:
It's same again in the UK as Freedom of the Seas is being deployed in the UK for a second year running, it will be the 4th year in a row for a Freedom Class ship in the UK with Indy & Liberty also in residence for a season each!
The Freedom Focus is on Northern Europe & Norwegian Fjords itineraries with a handful of Spanish & French sailings especially towards the end of the season. There are a couple of short sailings.
𝐑𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐓𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫:
We like this... Royal will leave a ship in the Mediterranean over Winter for the first time ! Rhapsody will undertake 9, 10, 11 & 12 night sailings taking in Canaries, Portugal, Greece, even Egypt over Winter 2028 / 2029!
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐥 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬?
For us, the pick of the new release is Jewel of the Seas in Stockholm & Copenhagen. Brilliant itineraries but Jewel is here for a good time, not a long time as the ship will only be with us May to August 2028 - Check out the 11 Night port intensive Scandinavia sailings taking in Gdansk, Riga, Tallinn and overnights in Stockholm! Fantastic!
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫, 𝐑𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐲, 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲, 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐫 & 𝐎𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐲 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐭:
Odyssey sticks to it's tried and tested itineraries focusing on Santorini (the home of Royal's Only European Beach Club!) and Mykonos while the other ships cruise ever changing itineraries throughout the Summer...
𝐖𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐭... 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐈 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐎𝐧𝐞...
Now, this is speculation on our part BUT there's NO WAY that's it... and there's no way there won't be an Oasis Class or Icon Class ship in Europe in 2028! The only surprise is we're having to wait longer when some cruise lines have released into 2029!
Oasis VII and Icon V are both due for release in 2028... we're putting 2 and 2 together... we guess it will depend on their progress BUT something big will come in Part II... after all this is Royal Caribbean and big things are always coming...
Watch... This... Space...
For now? This release is very much itinerary focused for us and there are some great itineraries so if Royal is your cruise line and you want something a little different there are some options here... if you want the very best ships then most roads lead to Royal Caribbean's home ... in the Caribbean and further afield!
Wherever you want to go we're ready and waiting to get you onboard... find out why so many guests are now stepping onboard The Cruise Room...
