Royal Caribbean celebrated taking delivery of its newest ship, Utopia of the Seas, during a special ceremony in Saint-Nazaire, France this week.
Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty, Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley and General Manager of Chantiers de l'Atlantique Laurent Castaing were joined by 1,600-plus crew members and workers to celebrate the milestone after more than two years of construction.
Utopia of the Seas is designed for short getaways or three- and four-nights and will set sail from Port Canaveral outside of Orlando starting July 19.
Before then, the ship will make its way to the U.S. as the Royal Caribbean teams apply its finishing touches. Utopia of the Seas promises guests more than 40 ways to dine, drink and celebrate.
"Taking delivery of Utopia of the Seas is an incredibly important milestone, as it marks yet another evolution of our game-changing ships and our mission to create the best vacation experiences responsibly," Liberty said in a statement.
"From the ultimate multigenerational vacation on this year's earlier debut of Icon of the Seas to now the ultimate weekend getaway on Utopia of the Seas, we are laser-focused on delivering a variety of vacation options and priceless memories for our guests."
"With the delivery of Utopia of the Seas, we have the keys to the ultimate weekend," added Bayley. "This is the short vacation that packs every way to make amazing memories in a 3-night weekend or 4-night weekday getaway. Vacationers want every minute to be a minute well spent, and the unmatched combination of Utopia and Perfect Day at CocoCay will deliver that. We are proud and excited to soon debut Utopia in a big way!"

The Wild Deserts, Deep Canyons, and Teal Waters of Mangystau, Kazakhstan
Nothing is more instructive than being wrong, and there’s no quicker way to be wrong than to have expectations. My arrival to Aktau, in Kazakhstan's Mangystau region, was by cargo ship, and over that 24-hour voyage, spent with long-haul truckers drinking duty-free whisky, I had plenty of time to imagine what awaited me on shore: a port city that was rough, brutalist, suspicious. At first sight, Aktau was brutalist, if only architecturally, but it was far from rough or suspicious. And while not beautiful, or even very pretty, there was something alluring about the place from the get-go.
