Fed up with selling boxes and looking for a 5* luxury proposition and something to be proud of?

Back in 1968 when founders Arne Wilhelmsen and Edwin Stephan were struck by the idea to take three successful Norwegian shipping companies and build a new cruise-liner business from scratch – Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines was born. While the rest of the world watched events including the lunar landing and Woodstock festival, we were busy constructing our first ship, Song of Norway. It took its first passengers out to sea in 1970 and Royal Caribbean was officially launched. 

A truly worldwide business, which operates in thousands of locations across the globe, offering a 5* luxury proposition. Energy, enthusiasm, innovative industry leadership and an ethos of continuous improvement have characterised the company for many years. They strive to be innovative in the way that they respond to the changing needs of their consumers and customers alike.

In May 2016, the long-awaited Harmony of the Seas set off on her pre-inaugural voyage through the English Channel, with a whole host of people joining them onboard, from travel agents to celebrities. Harmony of the Seas has 2,747 staterooms, 18 decks, 23 swimming pools, 42 bars and the tallest slide at sea, making it our most extraordinary ship yet. Following the continued success and £multi billion investment, an additional ship will be added to the fleet every year for the next 5 years….truly inspiring growth and development!!
