Royal Caribbean Reveals Details of Three-Ship Amplification

Three of Royal Caribbean’s ships will undergo largescale “amplification” refurbishments during which each will receive “bolder thrills, unmatched chill, and more ways to dine and drink.”

All three ships – Ovation of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, and Liberty of the Seas – will debut anew in 2026.

“The Royal Amplified program gives our guests the best of Royal Caribbean with new-to-class culinary options and experiences, entertainment and thrilling adventures, paired with the hospitality and service Royal Caribbean is known for,” said Jay Schneider, chief product innovation officer, Royal Caribbean. “After seeing incredible success and guest satisfaction with the amplification of Allure of the Seas, we’re excited to bring three new amplifications to our fleet in 2026.”

Ovation of the Seas

During its refurb, Ovation will receive a revamped pool deck with private casitas and a new whirlpool, along with Royal Caribbean signature eateries such as Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen and Izumi Teppanyaki. Other new features will include the Pesky Parrot tiki bar (making its Quantum Class debut), the brand-new Sound Cellar, and an expanded Casino Royale. New accommodation options will include the Ultimate Family Suite and Panoramic Suite.

Harmony of the Seas

Making its way to Harmony of the Seas is a new Caribbean-inspired pool deck with a new The Lime & Coconut bar, as well as a refreshed adults-only Solarium. For food, cruisers will be able to indulge at Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, El Loco Fresh, and Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. Families who crave space can opt for the Ultimate Family Suite, and gamblers will enjoy the largest Casino Royale in the entire Royal Caribbean fleet.

Liberty of the Seas

Like Ovation and Harmony, Liberty of the Seas will see its pool deck completely revamped with the addition of The Lime & Coconut bar and new casitas. The ship will also get an all-new Royal  Escape Room concept, and new eateries including Izumi Teppanyaki and El Loco Fresh, as well as a new-to-ship Starbucks.

The three ships will be the latest in Royal Caribbean’s fleet to be transformed as part of the line’s Royal Amplified program that was first introduced in 2018.
