Breaking News: Cruising Returns from The Bahamas this Summer
March 19, 2021
By: Royal Caribbean Cruise Line
With a year as trying as the one we’ve just endured, it makes future vacation planning and the long-awaited return of cruising that much more exhilarating. For more than 50 years, Royal Caribbean has delivered unforgettable vacation memories and we can’t wait to welcome you back onboard once again. So, after an unprecedented pause, we’re thrilled to announce that cruising is BACK! Beginning in June 2021, departures will resume as we introduce Adventure of the Seas® to her new homeport of Nassau, Bahamas. Offering weeklong getaways, vacationers can enjoy a day in Cozumel, Mexico, as well as an island-hopping sampler of popular Bahamian ports — including Grand Bahama Island and two consecutive days at our very own private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay.
These exciting new itineraries will set sail June through August 2021, inviting fully vaccinated guests 18 years of age and older, as well as children under the age of 18 with proof of negative COVID-19 test results. Rest-assured, the well-being of our guests and crew remains a top-priority and we look forward to a gradual and safe return to cruising. Details on additional health and safety measures will be announced at a later date.
Consequently, the Adventure of the Seas 2021 Europe season has been cancelled. Disrupting our guests’ vacation plans is never our intention and we understand the disappointment this may cause; therefore, individuals currently confirmed on sailings departing June 5 — October 14, 2021 can elect to: 1) choose a refund of all funds paid or 2) accept a 125% Future Cruise Credit to be redeemed at a later date. All impacted guests and associated travel agencies will soon receive an email notification to outline the compensation options in greater detail.
Little by little, opportunities are surfacing, allowing the travel industry to take steps in the right direction. We hope you are as excited as we are for today’s announcement! Together, we’ll be back stronger than ever.
