Royal Caribbean’s got a whole lot of swag on the sea. In December 2022, it launched the world’s largest cruise ship, the Icon Of The Seas. Less than two years later, the cruise company again created waves by introducing Utopia Of The Seas in July, making it the second largest cruise ship out there.
Utopia is 362m long and 64m wide with 18 decks, and can take as many as 5,668 passengers. There are 2,290 crew members onboard including the captain, the service team, housekeeping team and of course, the catering team. Both ships sail out from Florida in the United States, and are among the mega vessels taking holidaymakers to Perfect Day At CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas.
While Icon takes to the sea for seven days, Utopia is on a three-night (weekends) and four-night (weekdays) sail schedule only. The way Royal Caribbean sees it, those wanting to experience fun out at sea for the first time will appreciate the shorter days. Like many of the mega ships out there, Utopia has its own “godmother” – US pop star Meghan Trainor.
The All About That Bass and Made You Look singer is the perfect face for the ship – both work hard and have made splashes in their respective fields. It is actually a naval tradition to have new ships “sponsored” by prominent people to bring good luck and protection to the vessel. Trainor was invited to a preview sail in July, along with trade partners and friends of Royal Caribbean, as well as the media.
