Utopia of the Seas is a cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean International. She is the sixth ship in the Oasis Class and is scheduled to enter service on 19 July 2024 out of Port Canaveral.[3]

History

On 18 February 2019, Royal Caribbean and Chantiers de l'Atlantique announced an order of a sixth Oasis-class cruise ship for delivery in Fall 2023.[4] She will be the first in the class to be powered by liquefied natural gas.[5]

Utopia of the Seas under construction in April 2023.

Royal Caribbean applied to register a trademark for Utopia of the Seas in 2021, along with 23 other ship names.[6] The company announced the name Utopia of the Seas at the steel cutting ceremony on 5 April 2022,[7] and the keel was laid on 1 July.[8]

The LNG-tanks were built by Wärtsila and delivered in November 2022.[9] Utopia of the Seas was floated out of the building dock in September 2023,[10] and started her sea trials on 7 May 2024.[11][12]

After the delivery, she left the shipyard on 23 June towards La Pallice[13][14]
