Royal Caribbean is celebrating a major milestone: 100 million guests.
In late July, the cruise line welcomed its 100 millionth passenger when the Duquette family stepped foot onboard Icon of the Seas.
The family—Chris, Madeline and Jillian from Parkland, Florida—was showered with gifts and surprises, including a free cruise on Utopia of the Seas.
For a limited time, the company is offering up to $100 off all Royal Caribbean vacations from the U.S. But you’ll have to act fast, as the promotion ends today.
Royal Caribbean has been taking guests on vacation for more than 50 years—but the company is only just getting started. Its newest ship, Star of the Seas, will debut later this month.
And over the next three years, Royal Caribbean will expand its line-up of private destinations, including Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in The Bahamas, set to open December 2025.
By the end of 2027, Royal Caribbean will also have Perfect Day Mexico, Royal Beach Club Cozumel in Mexico and Lelepa in the South Pacific.
