Royal Caribbean: New Cruise Ship Orders Set for 2028 and Beyond
Royal Caribbean Group has locked in its new ship orders through 2027, with potential plans extending into 2028. Jason Liberty, president and CEO, shared this update during the company’s third-quarter earnings call in late October.
“You’ve seen all of our orders through 2027, and maybe even into 2028,” Liberty remarked.
The upcoming fleet includes three more Icon-class ships, a newbuild for Celebrity Cruises, and another Oasis-class vessel. Additionally, there are two ships on order for TUI Cruises, a joint venture between Royal Caribbean and TUI Group.
Liberty emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainable growth: “We’ve secured lots of options but are focused on moderate yield and capacity growth, along with maintaining strong cost control.”
This approach reflects a strategy of expanding the fleet steadily across various brands and regions. “We operate on a global scale, so our new ships aren’t limited to one brand or market. We’re confident that our growth will continue to drive solid returns over time,” Liberty added.
As Royal Caribbean looks ahead, its focus remains on delivering a balanced expansion that enhances both capacity and profitability across its diverse cruise offerings.
