Two years after the pandemic led to an industry-wide cruise operational pause, Royal Caribbean International’s restart plan is inching close to completion.

With three more ships returning soon, the company will see its entire fleet back in in action again by the end of May.

23 Ships Currently in Service

A total of 23 vessels are currently sailing with guests again for Royal Caribbean.

Seven months after welcoming guests back in Miami, the brand is now completing its first post-pandemic winter season in North America.

While some vessels will continue to sail in the region during the summer, most of the fleet is preparing to move to other destinations, including the Mediterranean and Alaska.
