Since returning to operations more than a million guests have sailed onboard Royal Caribbean International cruise ships. More than 28,000 crew members have been brought back to sea.

The twenty-one cruise ships now in service have embarked more than one million passengers from twenty-four different homeports and visited 146 ports of call. They are spread across the Mediterranean, the United Kingdom, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United States. Only seven ships remain to bring the fleet up to full operating capacity

Since the start of the pandemic, Royal Caribbean first resumed cruises with Quantum of the Seas on December 1, 2020, from Singapore at a 50% reduced capacity. 

Freedom of the Seas was the first ship in the fleet to start operations in the United States on July 2, 2021. She sailed from Miami and stopped in Nassau, the Bahamas, and Royal Caribbean’s private island Perfect Day at CocoCay. In total Royal Caribbean ships have made 257 stops at CocoCay with 55.000 guests.

The latest Royal Caribbean ship to resume cruises is Vision of the Seas, which welcomed guests back onboard today March 7, from Fort Lauderdale. The ship returns to regular sailings with a series of Southern and Eastern Caribbean cruises.
