When it comes to a cruise holiday, Royal Caribbean is one of the best brands for family fun and entertainment.
There are 28 Royal Caribbean ships in operation for people to choose from, with one more – Star of the Seas – set to launch next year.
Many of the brand’s vessels are like floating cities or theme parks. Its ships are home to a range of features, from skydiving and surfing simulators to rock climbing walls, ice rinks, roller discos and waterparks. Passengers are also treated to a variety of restaurants and quality entertainment.
The fleet is divided into six classes, reflecting the size of the ship and the services on offer.
The vessels range from small Vision-class and medium-sized Radiance-class ships, which offer a more relaxed and destination-focused sailing, to the megaship-style Quantum-, Oasis- and the latest Icon-class, which provide larger capacities and more entertainment and activities onboard.
In the middle are Freedom- and Voyager- class ships, which feature popular facilities such as mini-golf, rock climbing walls and ice skating rinks but can be quieter as they have a slightly smaller capacity than the larger ships.
The activities on board may make it hard to get off but there are also plenty of top destinations that you can experience with Royal Caribbean. It is a great brand for exploring the Caribbean itself and even has its own private island in the Bahamas for a popular port stop called Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Here is our pick of the top Royal Caribbean cruises to choose from in 2025 and 2026.
