Royal Caribbean opened bookings today for its summer 2028 Caribbean season, with 11 ships sailing from Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico and the Northeast between April and October 2028. Four Icon Class ships headline the lineup: Hero of the Seas debuts from Miami on 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings, Icon of the Seas sails from Galveston, Star of the Seas stays in Port Canaveral, and Legend of the Seas sails from Fort Lauderdale.
The season also brings a newly amplified Symphony of the Seas from Miami, Harmony of the Seas from Port Canaveral, and sailings from Tampa, San Juan, Baltimore and Cape Liberty. Ports of call include Nassau, Cozumel, Grand Turk, St. Croix and Samana, with Perfect Day at CocoCay on many itineraries and day passes to Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau.
What it means for your sailing: if you have been waiting to book a summer 2028 Caribbean cruise, Crown and Anchor Society members can book now and general bookings open later today. Hero of the Seas sailings from Miami and Icon of the Seas sailings from Galveston are new homeports for those ships, so early bookers get first pick of staterooms on the most in-demand weeks.
