Royal Caribbean will expand its Ovation, Harmony, and Liberty of the Seas ships in 2026

Royal Caribbean will triple the adventure in 2026 with the debut of three new, amplified vacations on Ovation, Harmony, and Liberty of the Seas. Guest-favorite ships will be reimagined with bold new experiences and visits to must-see destinations in Alaska, Europe, and the Caribbean. Guests will have more options than ever for unforgettable adventures beginning in spring 2026 and can book them now on the Royal Caribbean website.

“Royal Caribbean continues to raise the bar to deliver the best of every vacation with groundbreaking ships and exclusive, world-class destinations. The Royal Amplified program offers our guests the best of Royal Caribbean with new culinary options and experiences, exciting entertainment and adventures, along with the hospitality and service for which Royal Caribbean is known,” said Jay Schneider, chief product innovation officer for Royal Caribbean. “After seeing the incredible success and guest satisfaction with the expanded Allure of the Seas, we are excited to bring three new additions to our fleet in 2026.”

With new thrills and a relaxed atmosphere, bolder ways to eat and drink, enhanced nightlife, and more accommodation options, families and adventurers can maximize memories with a lineup of unparalleled experiences:

Ovation of the Seas
vacationers can enjoy expanded experiences on Ovation, including a renovated pool deck with private casitas and a new hot tub. To recharge, there’s a wide variety of international cuisine to enjoy, from Tuscan favorites at Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen to hibachi at Izumi Teppanyaki. The celebrations continue with tropical cocktails at the Pesky Parrot tiki bar, making its Quantum Class debut; dancing in the new Sound Cellar; and more gaming in the expanded Casino Royale. Along with new accommodations like the Ultimate Family Suite and Panoramic Suite, the upcoming experiences join a lineup of returning Quantum Class favorites, such as the Ripcord by iFly skydiving simulator and SeaPlex, the largest indoor activity space at sea.

Ovation will take adventure to the next level at sea and on land with Alaskan escapes, where vacationers can experience the wonders of the Last Frontier on 7- to 13-night Alaskan adventures beginning in spring 2026. Additionally, Ovation returns to the region as the first in the Quantum Class line to offer immersive land-based adventures with multi-night Cruisetour experiences.

Harmony of the Seas
Arriving on Harmony is a new Caribbean-inspired pool deck with tropical drinks at the new The Lime & Coconut, as well as a refreshed adults-only Solarium. Adventurers can enjoy tasty dishes at more than 20 restaurants, including Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade for game-day favorites, El Loco Fresh for Mexican delicacies, and the new Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. Plus, new ways to stay, like the Ultimate Family Suite, and even more exciting nightlife at the largest Casino Royale in the Royal Caribbean fleet, bring more ways for all types of vacationers to make memories.

Harmony will have its summer glow-up in Europe before Oasis Class vacations arrive in Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida. Beginning in winter 2026, vacationers can escape to the Caribbean on 5- and 7-night vacations to places like Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, and Falmouth, Jamaica. Adventurers can also visit the renowned Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas and purchase day passes to the all-inclusive Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, debuting in December 2025.

Liberty of the Seas
Families will enjoy new experiences for all ages with unparalleled ways to relax at the completely renovated pool deck featuring The Lime & Coconut and new casitas, and thrills at an all-new Royal Escape Room concept coming to Liberty. There are flavors for every taste, from Japanese cuisine and hibachi at Izumi Teppanyaki to tacos and more at El Loco Fresh, along with a new Starbucks on the ship. It all comes together with the return of on-deck favorites like The Perfect Storm waterslides, appetite-boosting restaurants, and spectacular entertainment.

Sailing from Southampton in summer 2026, Liberty vacationers can explore European destinations with 7-night adventures to places like the stunning Norwegian fjords, the medieval streets of Bruges, Belgium, and the rich culture of Copenhagen, Denmark. Liberty will then head to Galveston, Texas, for the winter season, offering more ways for vacationers to explore the Western Caribbean at places like the vacation brand's Royal Beach Club Cozumel, featuring the ultimate beach day in Mexico when it opens in 2026.

Following the newly amplified Allure of the Seas, the three soon-to-be-expanded vacations are the latest in the award-winning fleet to be transformed as part of Royal Caribbean’s Royal Amplified program, first introduced in 2018. Royal Caribbean continues to deliver ultimate vacations to more than seven million people annually with visits to more than 300 destinations across 28 ships, with four more on the order. Additionally, the vacation brand will continue to expand its destination lineup over the next three years with the addition of four signature experiences, including the next bold adventure on Perfect Day Mexico in fall 2027. Joining the roster are Royal Caribbean’s new Royal Beach Clubs on Paradise Island in the Bahamas and Cozumel, Mexico, along with exclusive beach destinations in Labadee, Haiti, and Lelepa in the South Pacific to offer more ways to enjoy paradise.
