Wonder of the Seas
Oasis class · Caribbean & Bahamas
Entered service in 2022 as the fifth Oasis-class ship. From 2026 to 2027, it will operate Caribbean cruises from Miami. The ship is divided into seven neighborhoods, with Oasis-class outdoor spaces such as Central Park, planted with real trees, and the Boardwalk. It lacks the Icon-class's level of newness, but its fares are competitive, making it suitable for travelers seeking a cost-effective large-ship experience.
