Differences Between Older and Newer Royal Caribbean Ships
Choosing the right Royal Caribbean cruise ship is essential. There are several options to choose from, with some cruise ships being older than others. However, it is not necessarily the age of the ship that should determine whether you choose a particular cruise. While older ships may be lacking some of the updates and technology you would expect approaching 2024, the newer ships may also pose health hazards and dangers as evidenced by the number of accidents, injuries, illnesses, and deaths aboard Royal Caribbean cruise ships over the years.
Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships by Age
In all, Royal Caribbean operates nearly 30 vessels. On average, the line launches roughly one new ship a year, and it typically keeps vessels in its fleet for 20 to 30 years before retiring them from the fleet. The newest ship is Utopia of the Seas, which debuted in July 2024. The oldest Royal Caribbean ship, Grandeur of the Seas, is 28 years old.
