Utopia of the Seas
Oasis class · Caribbean & Bahamas
Entering service in 2024, Utopia of the Seas is the sixth Oasis-class ship and the first in the class to use LNG fuel. It specializes in three- and four-night Bahamas cruises from Port Canaveral, making it easy to experience a mega-ship on a short itinerary. It suits weekend trips and those wanting to try cruising, but the short sailings mean the ship is often crowded and competition for restaurant and show reservations is intense.
