With the relatively recent removal of two older ships from its fleet, Royal Caribbean - the world's largest cruise line by passenger capacity - now has 26 oceangoing vessels in all. If you're thinking about booking a Royal Caribbean cruise, you'll find the line offers a wide range of ship styles and designs. In fact, Royal Caribbean has eight vessels that are less than half the size of the Oasis-class ships. While the line is perhaps best known for giant vessels - it operates 13 of the 30 biggest cruise ships in the world - it also markets some relatively smaller, more intimate ships. That said, not all Royal Caribbean ships are similarly supersized. Indeed, when you hear people talking about the wow factor of Royal Caribbean's 'floating megaresorts,' it's likely they're referring to the five ships in the Oasis-class series, which includes the just-unveiled Wonder of the Seas - the world's biggest cruise vessel.įor more cruise guides, news and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter. With the exception of a single MSC Cruises vessel, they're far bigger than any other cruise vessel afloat and like nothing else you'll find at sea. Even if you're a newcomer to cruising, you've probably heard of Royal Caribbean's giant Oasis-class ships.
