Royal Caribbean International recently celebrated a milestone after hitting the mark of 100 million guests sailed onboard its vessels.
According to a press release, the company celebrated the moment onboard the Icon of the Seas, welcoming the 100 millionth guest with awards and surprises.
The Duquette family from Parkland, Florida, was recognized during the celebration, winning gifts that included a new cruise onboard the Utopia of the Seas.
Royal Caribbean said that one million families travel onboard its 29-ship fleet each year, visiting over 300 destinations around the world.
Celebrating its ties to multi-generational travel, the company also stated that 1.26 million kids have sailed onboard its ships over its 50-year history.
Over 20,000 family activities were held during this timeframe, as well as 508,826 bumper car rides and 276,367 ice skating sessions.
Over 1.25 million guests climbed the rock walls onboard the company’s fleet, while roughly 545,000 went down the Ultimate Abyss slides.
