The best Royal Caribbean itineraries for Easter and May half term
Whenever we’re asked about family cruises, we tell our customers about Royal Caribbean – a multi-award-winning line with some of the most innovative cruise ships at sea. Its 25-plus vessels quash all the myths about cruising, offering a packed menu of activities and entertainment all under one roof: West End-style shows, fantastic food, spacious accommodation, and exhilarating activities and amenities, varying by ship. Many Caribbean itineraries include a 'Perfect Day' experience, at the private island of CocoCay with its water park and beach club which is as a unique, exciting and memorable experience for all the family.
Last year, we were especially excited when Royal Caribbean launched the world’s newest and largest ship, Wonder of the Seas, which in 2023 will be sailing from USA throughout the year. Wonder of the Seas brings even bigger adventures to Royal Caribbean’s award-winning Oasis Class, which also includes Harmony of the Seas.
