Serenade of the Seas launches its Latin American season with new homeports in Panama and Colombia

MIAMI, October 14, 2025. Royal Caribbean officially launched the 2025-2026 Serenade of the Seas season in Latin America, with departures from the ports of Colón, Panama, and Cartagena, Colombia. To commemorate the start of operations, local authorities and port representatives held welcome ceremonies in both cities, where they presented commemorative plaques to the ship's captain in recognition of the significance of this milestone for the region.

The return of Serenade of the Seas reinforces Royal Caribbean's commitment to the Latin American market, offering seven-night itineraries that visit some of the most iconic destinations in the Southern Caribbean, such as Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. The company seeks to consolidate its presence in the region with offerings tailored to the local public, combining its signature hospitality standards with the spirit, flavors, and energy of Latin culture.

According to Itzel Valdés, associate vice president for Latin America and the Caribbean at Royal Caribbean, this season represents a key step in the company's expansion on the continent: "Launching operations from Colombia and Panama allows us to bring our most renowned experiences to Latin American travelers, celebrating their culture and their unique way of enjoying vacations. It's a project we've worked on with great enthusiasm and commitment to the region."

The Radiance Class Serenade of the Seas offers a comprehensive experience designed for all tastes. Onboard, guests can enjoy a diverse culinary offering with restaurants such as Chops Grille, Izumi, Giovanni's Table, and Chef's Table, as well as multiple themed bars, including the Schooner Bar, R Bar, and Solarium Bar. Other highlights include a climbing wall, mini-golf, an outdoor cinema, and panoramic pools, providing entertainment and relaxation at sea.

Serenade's programming continues the successful path begun by Rhapsody of the Seas during its previous season in the region. Royal Caribbean also confirmed that, beginning in May 2026, Grandeur of the Seas will embark on new routes throughout Latin America, extending operations through April 2027.

With this proposal, the company reaffirms its commitment to the Latin American market, bringing its fleet closer to the continent's main ports and offering vacation experiences that integrate innovation, culture, and world-class service. Reservations for Serenade of the Seas and Grandeur of the Seas are now available on the official Royal Caribbean website.
