Although Royal Caribbean is known for its jaw-dropping ships filled with water slides, zip lines, ice skating rinks, surfing simulators, and more, its fleet also consists of smaller vessels that are more bare-boned.
Today, Royal Caribbean has 29 ships with another three expected to enter service between 2026 and 2028. Their current fleet of ships ranges from 78,340 to over 248,000 gross registered tons! Their oldest, Grandeur of the Seas, launched in 1996, whereas their newest, Star of the Seas, is less than a month into service.
The cruise line's older ships may not come outfitted with everything that is onboard the newer ships, but you are sure to find a ship and itinerary that meets you and your travel party's wants and needs. Below, we have broken down Royal Caribbean's fleet from biggest to smallest.
