A host of new cruise vacation experiences are coming to a trio of Royal Caribbean ships.
Royal Caribbean is upgrading Ovation, Harmony and Liberty of the Seas with ‘bold new experiences’ from spring 2026, the cruise line says.
“Royal Caribbean continues to raise the bar on delivering the best of every vacation with revolutionary ships and top-rated exclusive destinations. The Royal Amplified program gives our guests the best with new-to-class culinary options and experiences and entertainment,” said Jay Schneider, chief product innovation officer, Royal Caribbean.
Ovation of the Seas upgrades will see a revamped pool deck with private casitas and a new whirlpool. There’s a variety of international cuisine to indulge in from Italian to Japanese Teppanyaki. The Pesky Parrot tiki bar will debut and there will be a brand new Sound Cellar. Casino Royale will be expanded with more slots and games.
Ovation will offer 7- to 13-night Alaska cruises starting spring 2026.
Harmony of the Seas will feature a new Caribbean-inspired pool deck as well as a refreshed adults-only Solarium. There will be even bigger nightlife at the largest Casino Royale in Royal Caribbean’s fleet.
Starting winter 2026, Caribbean 5- and 7-night cruises call at Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, and Falmouth, Jamaica as well as Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas. Guests can also purchase day passes to the all-inclusive Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, which debuts in December 2025.
All-new experiences coming to Liberty of the Seas include a reimagined pool deck with The Lime & Coconut and new casitas, plus an all-new Royal Escape Room concept. Returning favorites include The Perfect Storm waterslides and show-stopping entertainment.
Sailing from Southampton in summer 2026, guests get to explore European hot spots with 7-night cruises to the Norwegian fjords, Bruges, Belgium, and Copenhagen, Denmark. Then, Liberty will head to Galveston, Texas, for the winter season.
