Royal Caribbean’s upcoming Utopia of the Seas is set to shake up Caribbean weekend getaways with three- to four-night itineraries to Perfect Day at CocoCay available on an Oasis Class ship for the first time.

Dubbed the ‘World’s Biggest Weekend’ and cruising from Port Canaveral (Orlando) from July 2024, RCI’s Utopia of the Seas allows holidaymakers to set sail on Fridays or Mondays.

Aussies can extend their US trip and add a short getaway to an East Coast USA itinerary, spending a week in New York before heading to Port Canaveral for a three- or four-night cruise and then back to Orlando.

What’s on board?

Aboard the all-new Utopia, there’s 40-plus ways to dine, drink and dance; including more than 20 bars and entertainment spots; plenty of pools and more ways to thrill and chill in The Bahamas at Perfect Day at CocoCay, RCI’s private island.

All-new and reimagined experiences include Pesky Parrot, a vibrant Caribbean tiki bar; a first-of-its-kind immersive dining experience; the longest dry slide at sea – The Ultimate Abyss; and newly designed resort-style pools.

“With the variety of dining, bars, pools, entertainment and thrills that make Oasis Class ships revolutionary and the experiences to match on our private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, we’ve combined the best of the best to create the world’s biggest weekend for everyone.”
