Royal Caribbean released new 2024-2025 cruises from the northeast United States and additional Caribbean sailings today.
As part of its scheduled deployment announcement, new sailings across 13 ships were posted.
Royal Caribbean’s 2022-2023 Northeast and Winter Caribbean cruises open for bookings today, February 23.
Let's dig into what Royal Caribbean published.
Northeast
There will be a new face from the New York City area when Odyssey of the Seas arrives in Cape Liberty.
Odyssey of the Seas will sail from Rome on her Transatlantic crossing and start regular service from Bayonne, New Jersey.
Odyssey will sail from Bayonne between November 2024 and at least April 2025.
The new ship, which was launched in 2021, will offer a variety of 7-12 night cruises to destinations in the Caribbean and Bahamas.
Symphony of the Seas will also sail from the New York City area.
She will finish up her season in Fort Lauderdale, before moving up to Bayonne in May 2024. From then, Symphony will offer 7- and 9-night cruises to the Caribbean, Bahamas and Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Liberty of the Seas will sail from Bayonne between May and October 2024, offering cruises to Bermuda, Canada and the Caribbean.
New England will have a new option when Grandeur of the Seas offers cruises from Boston to primarily Canada, although she does have a 15-night Greenland cruise too.
