March 11, 2010 –
Royal Caribbean International today announced its roster of 2011-12
Bermuda, Caribbean,
and Canada and New England
cruises, ranging from five- to 12-night itineraries sailing from
three convenient U.S. Northeast cruise ports. In 2011, Enchantment of
the Seas will continue year-round service from Baltimore – its second
consecutive year; for the fifth consecutive year, Explorer of the Seas
will remain the most innovative cruise ship in the New York City
metropolitan area, sailing year-round from Cape Liberty in Bayonne, N.J.;
and
Jewel of
the Seas will offer its eighth short season from Boston. Royal
Caribbean’s 2011-12 Bermuda, Caribbean and Canada and New England cruises
from the Northeast U.S. are open for booking.
“Whether for a
romantic getaway or a family vacation, Royal Caribbean offers the
best value for vacationers in the Northeast,” said
Betsy O’Rourke, senior vice president
of Marketing, Royal Caribbean International. “Guests will enjoy
exciting vacations on a variety of compelling itineraries that sail from
convenient, local home ports. Our
innovative cruise ships and award-winning onboard programming offer
guests of all ages the opportunity to enjoy their own ‘Why Not?’ moments.”
Vacationers can take in the breathtaking seasonal color of
Canada and New England on 16 Royal Caribbean voyages in fall 2011.
Jewel of the Seas will sail a seven-night itinerary, with calls at
Portland and Bar Harbor, Me.; St. John, New Brunswick; and Halifax, Nova
Scotia. Vacationers also can choose longer, nine-night itineraries aboard
Explorer of the Seas and Enchantment of the Seas, which
include Boston as a
port of call.
In the summer and autumn seasons, vacationers have a choice of
two ships sailing from convenient local home ports to Bermuda and the
Caribbean. From Cape Liberty, Explorer of the Seas will alternate
a five-night Bermuda and a nine-night Bermuda and Caribbean itinerary.
Enchantment of the Seas will alternate a five-night Bermuda
and a nine-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary from Baltimore. Both ships’
short Bermuda itineraries include an overnight in King’s Wharf, enabling
guests to enjoy the island’s nightlife at their leisure. Both ships also
will feature seven-night winter and Easter holiday sailings, with port
calls at
Port Canaveral, Fla.; Nassau, Bahamas and CocoCay, Royal
Caribbean’s private island paradise.
During the 2011-12 winter months, vacationers also have
choices of longer cruises to the warm waters of the Caribbean.
Explorer of the Seas will alternate 10-night Eastern Caribbean and
11-night Southern Caribbean itineraries from Cape Liberty, while
Enchantment of the Seas will alternate nine-night Bahamas and
12-night Southern Caribbean itineraries from Baltimore. Most Caribbean
itineraries also will include a call to Labadee, Royal Caribbean’s private
beach destination on the northern coast of
Haiti.
Guests will enjoy the award-winning onboard programming and
innovative amenities that are exclusive to
Royal Caribbean International. Voyager-class Explorer of the
Seas features an ice-skating rink, full-size basketball court,
in-line skating track, and the Royal Promenade, a boulevard that spans
nearly the length of the ship, lined with boutiques, restaurants, bars and
lounges. Jewel of the Seas is appointed with a 10-story glass
Centrum, glass elevators offering vistas of the unfolding coastline, and
self-leveling billiard tables. Kids and adults alike can bounce to their
hearts’ delight on Enchantment of the Seas’ bungee trampoline or
race to the top of the cruise line’s iconic rock-climbing wall, an amenity
aboard every Royal Caribbean ship. Guests enjoy award-winning
Broadway-style musical revues from
Royal Caribbean Productions, complimentary Adventure Ocean kids and
teen programming, and the cruise line’s world-renowned friendly and
engaging
Royal treatment from every staff and crew member.
