ROYAL Caribbean International’s Utopia of the Seas, which the cruise line is introducing as “the world’s biggest weekend” (CW 21 Jun), floated out for the first time last week (pictured).
Utopia has now reached the next phase of her construction ahead of her Jul debut.
She has moved into an outfitting dock at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, where her construction will be completed.
Utopia will make waves when she debuts as the first Oasis-class ship powered by liquefied natural gas, and the second in the Royal Caribbean fleet following Icon of the Seas, which is set to enter service in May.
The ship will advance Royal Caribbean’s decades-long commitment to the environment by utilising the cleanest-burning marine fuel to date.
Utopia’s three-night weekend and four-night weekday getaways will be the first in Royal Caribbean’s Oasis-class to offer short escapes when she debuts in Jul from Port Canaveral.
Every cruise will feature visits to Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island, and her new adults-only Hideaway Beach (CW 18 Sep). MS
