About Utopia of the Seas
Utopia of the Seas, the sixth Oasis-class ship, arrived in 2024 and was designed for one job: short, social getaways from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas, usually with a day at Perfect Day at CocoCay. It keeps the class’s neighborhood layout, with Central Park’s open-air garden, the Boardwalk and the AquaTheater at the stern, and adds Royal Railway – Utopia Station, a dinner that feels like a train journey. It is also the first Oasis-class ship to run on LNG. On three- and four-night trips the ship fills up fast, so reserve shows and dining before you board.
Best for: Groups of friends, couples and families who want a long weekend at sea with Oasis-class entertainment and a CocoCay beach day.

It suits families, groups and active couples who want a floating resort and a private-island beach day, and it’s less suited to anyone who wants quiet, small ships or an all-inclusive fare.
