It’s All About Size
Once completed, Utopia of the Seas will measure an impressive 236,860 gross registered tons and stretch 1,188 ft. in length. While similar in size to Wonder of the Seas, she will introduce modifications not found on previous Oasis Class ships. Accommodating up to 5,668 passengers in 2,834 staterooms, Utopia of the Seas promises a spacious and comfortable journey.
As the first Oasis Class ship powered by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), Utopia of the Seas will call Port Canaveral in Florida home. LNG is an environmentally friendly fuel that significantly reduces carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen oxide emissions. By harnessing the power of LNG, Utopia of the Seas embraces a sustainable approach to cruising.

Utopia of the Seas will embark on 3- and 4-night cruises to Nassau and the idyllic private island of Perfect Day at CocoCay. The inaugural voyage on July 22, 2024, will be a 4-night cruise to Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay, followed by a 3-night cruise to The Bahamas departing on July 26, 2024.
