Top 7 Highlights on Utopia of the Seas
In July 2024, Utopia of the Seas, the newest in Royal Caribbean’s extraordinary fleet, set sail on its maiden voyage from Port Canaveral in Florida.
Here at Iglu Cruise, we were lucky enough to sail on this innovative cruise ship during its inaugural voyage, venturing to the beautiful Bahamian capital of Nassau, before making its way to Royal Caribbean’s iconic private island destination - Perfect Day at CocoCay.
During our time onboard, we got to experience a variety of facilities from mouth-watering restaurants to unforgettable entertainment, exhilarating activities and more. Catering for up to 5,668 guests with 18 decks, 5 pools, 3 waterslides, 23 bars, 2 casinos and 8 hot tubs, we discovered that this remarkable ship has something for all ages, regardless of who you’re travelling with.
If you’re planning a Utopia of the Seas cruise in the near future, we’ve got you covered. In this blog, we’ll take you through the top highlights onboard Utopia of the Seas, from the hair-raising Ultimate Abyss to the Music Hall; that’s perfect for any music enthusiast.
