The vacation flipping the script on short getaways has arrived. Royal Caribbean International’s Utopia of the Seas made its first appearance in Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida, just a few days ahead of its official debut on Friday, July 19. The ultimate short getaway was welcomed home as more than 2,000 crew members celebrated across Utopia’s vibrant Caribbean pool deck and thrills, from the longest dry slide at sea – The Ultimate Abyss – to the signature FlowRider surf simulator. Up next is a celebration fit for the getaway of all getaways that will feature Utopia’s newly revealed godmother, GRAMMY-winning artist and songwriter Meghan Trainor, as she takes center stage to name the new vacation and perform one hit after the next before it begins sailing 3-night weekend and 4-night weekday vacations.

Utopia brings unmatched weekend energy to everyone and every day of the week, with a combination of ways to celebrate any occasion or just getting away. On deck are more than 40 ways to dine, drink and party, including a lineup of parties only on Utopia, two casinos, a new Caribbean tiki bar – The Pesky Parrot, Royal Railway – Utopia Station, a first-of-its-kind immersive train car dining experience; more pools than the days to count; thrills and ways to chill; show-stopping entertainment across air, ice, water and stage; and more at Perfect Day at CocoCay.
