Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas: A Floating Mall for Short Getaways
Royal Caribbean's new cruise ship Utopia of the Seas, debuting July 2024 from Port Canaveral, Florida, offers short weekend voyages with over 40 bars and restaurants, 17 waterslides (one 79 meters high), and nearly 3,000 cabins in 20 types. It will be the first Oasis-class ship to offer short stays, with rates from €479. The itinerary includes Orlando, Nassau, and the private beach Perfect Day at CocoCay. CEO Michael Bayley calls it 'the greatest weekend in the world.' The ship runs on liquefied natural gas (LNG), touted as the cleanest marine fuel available, in a greenwashing move.
