Royal Caribbean International has set a new standard for short getaways with the arrival of Utopia of the Seas. Making its grand entrance at Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida, on July 11, 2024, Utopia of the Seas promises an unparalleled vacation experience. 

This vibrant ship, designed to bring weekend energy to every day of the week, is set to officially debut on Friday, July 19, with 3-night weekend and 4-night weekday voyages to The Bahamas.

A Celebration Fit for a Queen

The arrival of Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas was celebrated by more than 2,000 crew members on the ship’s Caribbean pool deck. The festivities included exhilarating experiences such as The Ultimate Abyss, the longest dry slide at sea, and the FlowRider surf simulator.

Adding to the excitement, GRAMMY-winning artist and songwriter Meghan Trainor was revealed as the godmother of Utopia. Trainor is set to perform live, celebrating the ship's launch with her hit songs, before the ship begins its highly anticipated sailings.

"Meghan Trainor embodies the spirit of fun and excitement that Utopia of the Seas is all about," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International. "We are thrilled to welcome her to the Royal Caribbean family and look forward to an unforgettable celebration."
