Creator's Key Takeaways

Enchantment of the Seas is my very first cruise back in 2005.

Brilliance of the Seas is really special to me because it's the ship my husband and I were cruising on when he proposed.

I just returned from a 12 night sailing on Jewel sailing to Iceland and it was fantastic.

I'd highly recommend for anyone looking to cruises Royal Caribbean in Asia.

YouTube Video Description

Royal Caribbean International, formerly known as Royal Caribbean Cruise Line when it was founded in 1968, is one of the most popular cruise lines today. Song of Norway, their first ship, was launched two years after the company was founded. Having held the title of largest cruise ship in the world since the debut of Freedom of the Seas in 2006, they are known for their innovative, and often, record-breaking ships. Today's newest ships have the most onboard amenities for guests to enjoy, whether it is more dining options, zip lines, Broadway-style musicals, and more. Some cruisers, however, prefer older ships due to their smaller size, which fosters a more intimate environment. Plus, they are able to visit destinations that are unable to accommodate larger vessels. . Royal Caribbean's fleet of 26 offers something for every type of traveler. Here is a list of Royal Caribbean's ships by age—from oldest to newest.
