Royal Caribbean International has some big news about its newest ship.

On Friday, the cruise line opened bookings for Utopia of the Seas, which is set to begin sailing from Port Canaveral, Florida in July 2024.

The new ship will offer guests more than 40 different places to dine and drink as well as the largest and longest dry slide at sea and five pools.

?“Vacationers are looking to make every moment count by celebrating and recharging with their friends and family, and Utopia of the Seas makes all that possible in more ways than one,” Royal Caribbean CEO Michael Bayley said in a statement.

Some of Utopia of the Seas' itineraries will include a stop at Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas, Royal Caribbean's private island destination.

Bookings opened for Crown & Anchor Society loyalty members on Thursday.
