I'm pleased to share that Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas will start sailing from Galveston in August 2027.

This revolutionary vessel is one of the biggest cruise ships afloat and boasts the largest waterpark at sea with six exhilarating slides (such as Pressure Drop, an open free-fall slide) and seven swimming pools, including an adults-only infinity pool. Other highlights include Crown's Edge, an aerial ropes course 154 feet above the ocean and more than 40 restaurants, lounges and bars.

Royal Caribbean offers 4- to 10-night sailings from Galveston to the Bahamas, the Caribbean and Mexico. Choose from four innovative ships, including Icon of the Seas, that visit sun-soaked islands and white-sand beaches. Select itineraries include a stop at Perfect Day CocoCay, a private island in the Bahamas exclusive to Royal Caribbean guests.

I'm excited to announce that two new cruise ships are now open for bookings. These new vessels will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology, modern amenities and innovative facilities. You can expect elegant, contemporary and stylish designs, offering a high level of comfort and appeal.

Carnival Tropicale debuts in April 2028 and will offer 4- to 8-night sailings from Galveston to the Bahamas, the Caribbean and Mexico. To read more about Carnival Tropicale, click here. To see dates and prices, click here.

Viking Leda launches in June 2029 and will offer 7- to 15-night itineraries to the Mediterranean and Northern Europe during its inaugural season. To read more about Viking Leda, click here. To see dates and prices, click here.

Booking far in advance ensures the best cabin selection, such as a midship cabin, being near an elevator, or securing adjoining cabins or larger suites for families and groups.

If you are flexible with your dates and cabin preferences, you might find a lower price closer to the departure date. Don't wait too long to book, as any particular sailing could sell out early.
