Following a successful drydock in Europe, the Adventure of the Seas recently kicked off a trans-Atlantic crossing back to Florida.

Set to return to Port Canaveral in early December, the Royal Caribbean International vessel is presently offering a 13-night repositioning voyage to the United States. With visits to four destinations in Spain and Portugal, the cruise departed from Barcelona on November 24, 2024.

After leaving Port Canaveral in late October, the 2001-built ship sailed to Europe exclusively for its visit to the Navantia shipyard in Cádiz, Spain.

The two-week drydock included regular maintenance to public areas, cabins and technical systems, in addition to class work and inspections.

Once back in its homeport in Florida, the Adventure of the Seas resumes a year-round schedule of six- and eight-night cruises to the Caribbean and the Bahamas.

In addition to Royal Caribbean’s private destinations of Labadee and Perfect Day at CocoCay, the ship visits destinations in the Western and Eastern Caribbean, such as Falmouth in Jamaica and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic.

Other ports of call featured in the deployment include San Juan in Puerto Rico, St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Nassau in the Bahamas.

Starting in May 2025, the vessel is also scheduled to make regular stops in Cabo Rojo, a new port of call in the Dominican Republic that recently received Royal Caribbean’s first visit.

According to published deployment, the Adventure of the Seas continues to sail from Port Canaveral through October 2026, when it repositions to Fort Lauderdale.

As part of Royal Caribbean’s recently announced plans for the 2026-27 season, the vessel is poised to offer six- to eight-night cruises to the Southern, Eastern and Western Caribbean from Port Everglades through late April 2027.

Following the Voyager of the Seas, the Adventure became the second Voyager-class ship to visit Navantia since November.

In addition to vessels from various brands, the Spanish facility also received the Oasis of the Seas for a routine dry dock this year.
