It’s time to gear up for weekend energy any day of the week. Royal Caribbean International officially welcomed the next big thing in vacations to the family: Utopia of the Seas. A celebration fit for the ultimate short getaway was had in Saint-Nazaire, France, as the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard handed Royal Caribbean the keys to Utopia just five weekends before its July debut in Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida.

More than two years of construction culminated in the new vacation’s final building milestone, the delivery, when 1,600-plus crew members and workers came together to mark the moment in the signature AquaTheater.

Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty, Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley and General Manager of Chantiers de l’Atlantique Laurent Castaing hosted Utopia’s first party of many to recognize the achievements of the nautical engineers, designers, architects and more.

Pool Days for Every Mood

From upbeat to lowkey and adults only, there are vibes of all kinds across five pools. Dialing up the party are the resort-style and sloping beach-entry pools, three Lime & Coconut bars, The Perfect Storm trio of waterslides and more than a few spots to grab a bite to refuel, including Spare Tire – the new poolside food truck. Tucked away is the adults-only Solarium pool and the exclusive Suite Sun Deck, both tranquil escapes to chill.

Headlining the thrills, like the FlowRider surf simulator and the 10-story zip line, the longest dry slide at sea is 43 feet longer at 259 feet. Adventurers will plummet 10 decks as they speed through with new zoom booster rollers, transparent racing windows and surprising twists and turns.
