My family is big and I really want to take them on Icon, but can't justify the 5000.00 for a o.v. balcony or even an o.v (yes, we really like balconies) Do you know when next Icon ship will be out?

Sometime in 2025, that one will begin sailing, according to the press release. https://www.royalcaribbeanpresscenter.com/press-release/1634/the-next-iconic-adventure-begins-with-royal-caribbeans-second-icon-class-ship/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about which ships were going to be sailing. Do we think it'll be Brilliance and Radiance out of Vancouver and Quantum and Ovation out of Seattle or is there any thought of that changing?

As you probably know Australia and Alaska generally share ships, The Ovation repositioning from Sydney - Hawaii can be booked so you can safely presume that Ovation will be in Alaska. Quantum's repositioning from Brisbane is still to go on sale so that's looking less likely, especially as the Royal Australia boss was on TV over here saying he's hoping for a year round ship in a couple of years.. The smaller ships, it's probably too early to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mott1086 Posted September 14, 2023 #388 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Thank you for doing this thread! Based on what I see, it seems like Oasis is going to still do the 8-night Southern Caribbean trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2025 Brilliance will be based in Amsterdam/Rotterdam but not known if she or another ship will also offer Baltic cruises. Independence goes to Southampton but no Baltic cruises on her.

Hello, I think Royal and X divi-up itineraries between them. Royal hasn't done the Baltics or Iceland for years from the UK whereas X does both annually.
