New Florida-Bermuda route in Royal Caribbean's summer 2022

The amped-up Mariner's sailings from Port Canaveral include two days at Bermuda, a late-night stay in Nassau and a full day at CocoCay
Marking a first for Royal Caribbean, Mariner of the Seas will introduce sailings from Florida to Bermuda among new itineraries in summer 2022.

Mariner's eight-night sailings from Port Canaveral include two days at Kings Wharf before journeying on to the Bahamas for a late-night stay in Nassau and full day at Perfect Day at CocoCay. The amped-up Mariner will also sail eight-night cruises from Port Canaveral to the far-flung islands of Aruba, Curaçao and St. Croix, and closer to home spots such as the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and CocoCay.

Royal Caribbean's summer 2022 Caribbean cruises of five nights and longer opened for sale today.

Besides Mariner, these include Oasis-class ships Symphony, Harmony and Oasis of the Seas sailing from Florida and the Northeast, plus Liberty and Explorer of the Seas.

Symphony and Harmony of the Seas will offer Eastern and Western Caribbean seven-night cruises from Miami and Port Canaveral, respectively. New for 2022, Symphony will double the number of Eastern Caribbean sailings and provide evening stays in Puerto Rico on select cruises throughout the summer. Harmony will visit destinations including St. Thomas, St. Kitts and Falmouth, Jamaica, as well as CocoCay.

Oasis back to Bayonne

Amplified sister ship Oasis will return to the Big Apple, offering seven-night cruises to Florida and the Bahamas from Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey. Almost every sailing visits CocoCay. On board is Portside BBQ, a first for Royal Caribbean, following Oasis’ bow-to-stern transformation in December 2019.

Longer stays at Aruba and Curaçao

Following a winter season in San Juan, Explorer returns to Miami to sail alternating eight- and six-night itineraries. Southern Caribbean escapes feature Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, with more time to explore island life after the sun goes down in Oranjestad (Aruba) and Willemstad (Curaçao) on every eight-night sailing. Explorer’s six-night adventures visit the Western Caribbean and Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Liberty loyal to Galveston

Liberty will continue to homeport in Galveston for weeklong Western Caribbean cruises to Belize City and Cozumel.

Royal Caribbean's remaining summer 2022 deployment will be announced early next year.
