About Royal Caribbean
Founded 1968 · Activity-focused mega-ships for families and thrill-seekers
Royal Caribbean is the world's largest cruise line by passenger capacity, and it earns that scale by building the biggest, most amenity-dense ships afloat. Its Oasis, Icon, and Quantum classes pack water parks, surf simulators, zip lines, ice-skating rinks, and multi-story rock climbing walls onto a single hull — the ship itself is the headline attraction, not just the transportation.
Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Miami, Royal Caribbean built the first true "mega-ship" in the 1990s and has spent every decade since pushing the category further, culminating in Icon of the Seas — currently the largest cruise ship ever built. The line's private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas, has become one of its biggest draws in its own right, with a waterpark, the tallest waterslide in North America, and a suspended helium balloon ride.
Itineraries lean heavily Caribbean and Bahamas, with strong seasonal Alaska, Mediterranean, and Northern Europe programs. Royal Caribbean sits in the upper-mainstream price tier — a step above Carnival, roughly level with Norwegian and MSC — and its ships are built to keep large families and groups of friends entertained for a full week without ever leaving the ship.
