release dates for 2026 Itineraries

[smokeybandit]

Some are up. Prices mirror the Alaska and Europe releases. Prices way up

[Southern Dan]

Prices way up, desire to book way low as a result lmao

[asquared17]

omg

i don’t see anything for december 2026 just yet - but looks like it’s coming according to the fleet assets map - allure, oasis and symphony are doing long 6-8 cruises out of florida i think 

[Southern Dan]

They have a lot of itineraries to release so it might be a day or two until this round is fully announced.

[caffeinated]

Seems like not everything is up yet? Where is Wonder at in summer of 2026?

Wonder/Utopia will probably continue to do the 3/4 night itineraries out of Miami and Port Canaveral respectively.  This means those won't get released until February...

[asquared17]

do TAs have access to this before we do as gen pop?

Looks like Allure is the only Oasis class doing Southern Caribbean? I saw one and then it was gone. St. Kitts, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten...Maybe I just suck at searching.

[VC22]

So far only Star out of PC beyond October 2026?  I’m definitely hoping there are more itineraries to release.  PC is my preferred port.  Sad to see Adventure moving to FTL, she was my first RC cruise and I’ve been lucky to go on her four times, twice out of PC and twice out of PR.  

[Cruisinkpek]

If you are looking for something - I would recommend to keep refreshing.  I initially couldn’t get any summer Caribbean cruises to load, refreshed and booked a courtesy hold for Star in June 2026.  Left the page, came back, and now it is showing that there are no cruises listed for the entire month. Royal IT for the win.

I think Oasis out of NY, and Symphony out of Galveston. So Allure the only Oasis out of Florida for long cruises.

[smokeybandit]

Well they were there. Now gone again.

[asquared17]

the way it taunts me with being able to freely select all the months through to the end of the year in 2026 on the main page when searching for a cruise... only to have no search results turn back.

alas.

[caffeinated]

Well, the prices are high from what I've seen. Was hoping they'd load before the sale is over  Unless they "extend" it, which I hope for. I want to book as soon as possible at these prices because they will only go up.

[asquared17]

just got some to load for december 2026; icon and star will be doing caribbean, symphony is def going to galveston.

so far not a single oasis class showing up on the list but i imagine its coming.

radiance and brilliance also sailing out of FLL and MIA for caribbean.

Allure pricing is nuts! Star and Icon even better than Allure. It’s crazy

I know! Probably because it's an extra day...but still...5k for ocean view balcony for 2 people....good god.

Even the 6 night is bad 

[asquared17]

i know she will be amplified by then but seriously what on EARTH.

That is literally what I said an hour ago when I looked at Allure pricing lol

At the moment, I have holds on IC for July 2026 and Star for March 2027

[Ampurp85]

Why does everything cost about the same? I was gauging my S2S option and Adventure is almost up there with Star and Icon

[asquared17]

i guess this will be another year we stay with celebrity because a suite guarantee on icon doesn't have the same perks as even a magic carpet suite on X and the pricing is typically around the same.... although at this point, who even knows if that will be true.

You have to be careful with the suite guarantee now because even the Sky Junior on those ships don’t have wifi.

don't get me started.

i was just saying to @Ampurp85 that the odds of even getting in for CK for dinner on those sailings with a suite guarantee (so, let's be real -- it's a JS) are slim to none. and the whole point of our love for suites is the CK experience, so i think i booked the holds out of sheer panic than actual desire to go on them

Agreed! There will be a lot of crepes in my future because when I compare the older ships to Star and Icon, and the price is about the same (or in some cases less), the newer ships are going to win out

Big ships for the win!

I just told @asquared17 the JS GTY on Icon is currently the same price as a JS GTY on Symphony and Oasis in Jan 2025. Granted these are close-in prices but the logic still works out that newer ships being so close older ships makes you reassess the value. 

I don't sail Celebrity until 2026 but my Oct 2025/2026 Royal cruises are in jeopardy. I am personally getting a little tired of gen pop, but the sweet, suite spot of Sky is losing its value if the price pp is $5k+

[OCSC Mike]

Hope everyone finds something that works for ya...

Right now I'm just waiting for group rates from my TA for Star (they take a day or so after release... and will still be terrible of course) and then I'll see what Utopia group rates are like when the shorties come out.

I'll likely grab a Star for early June 2026 and worry about it later since groups have refundable deposits. Wife wants to try Icon class so it is what it is but I will not be sailing her over and over like Wonder at these prices, that's for sure.

[Sweety]

I am waiting for the Northeast cruises. I love the older ships (Vision, Grandeur,etc.) I want a repositioning cruise for Fall/Winter 2026.

[smokeybandit]

Northeast should come tonight.

[CruzOnBye]

Does it look like Port Canaveral is done displaying what it will have through '27? Looking at Star & Utopia bookings but wasn't sure if we'd get another Oasis Class or something roll through that might appeal to us..

Something will take Adventure's place as the 3rd ship once it relocates to Ft. Lauderdale but I don't see it being Oasis class.

[Lucky]

There are so many good itineraries from Cape Liberty between Oasis, Independence, and Odyssey. I have no idea what to choose! But the price tag hurts...

[Sweety]

I am waiting for more ships to deploy (Grandeur, explorer, etc.)
