Royal Caribbean International

From: European Cruise Guide

ABOVE: Vision of the Seas cruises in Norway.

Royal Caribbean International is an American cruise line that serves the mass market with affordable cruises on large ships that set new records for passenger capacity and amenities.

The last time we checked, the company had more than two dozen ships in its fleet or under construction. Its newer megaships emphasize a resort experience, with over-the-top features that include bumper cars, water parks, and a thrill ride that lifts passengers 300 feet above the water.

Although most Royal Caribbean guests are English-speaking tourists from the United States and Canada, the line also markets to customers outside of North America with multilingual Web sites.
