Royal Caribbean to ‘Amp Up’ Three Ships for 2026

by Bruce Parkinson  June 22, 2025
Royal Caribbean to ‘Amp Up’ Three Ships for 2026

Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas.

Royal Caribbean will debut three newly amplified vacations on Ovation, Harmony and Liberty of the Seas starting in spring 2026, with bookings available now.

“Royal Caribbean continues to raise the bar on delivering the best of every vacation with revolutionary ships and top-rated exclusive destinations,” said Jay Schneider, chief product innovation officer, Royal Caribbean. 

“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.” 

Schneider says the amplification of Allure of the Seas resulted in higher guest satisfaction, making the line excited to bring three new amplifications – of fan-favourite ships – to the fleet next year. 

Here’s a look at what your clients can expect:

Ovation of the Seas

Vacationers can go all out with amplified experiences on Ovation, including a revamped pool deck with private casitas and a new whirlpool. To refuel, there’s a variety of international cuisine to indulge in from Tuscan favourites at Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen to hibachi at Izumi Teppanyaki. 

The celebrations continue with tropical cocktails at the Pesky Parrot tiki bar, making its Quantum Class debut; dancing at the brand-new Sound Cellar; and more slots and games at the expanded Casino Royale. 

Along with new accommodations like the Ultimate Family Suite and Panoramic Suite, the upcoming experiences join a lineup of returning Quantum Class favourites like the Ripcord by iFly skydiving simulator and SeaPlex, the largest indoor activity space at sea.

Harmony of the Seas.

Making its way to Harmony is a new Caribbean-inspired pool deck with tropical sips at the new The Lime & Coconut, as well as a refreshed adults-only Solarium. Adventurers can dive into bold bites at more than 20 venues, including Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade for gameday favorites, El Loco Fresh for Mexican delights and the new Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. 

Plus, new ways to stay like the Ultimate Family Suite and even bigger nightlife at the largest Casino Royale in Royal Caribbean’s fleet create more ways for all kinds of vacationers to make memories.

Liberty of the Seas.

Families are in for all-new experiences for all ages with unmatched chill at the completely reimagined pool deck with The Lime & Coconut and new casitas, and thrills at an all-new Royal Escape Room concept coming to Liberty. 

There are flavours for all tastebuds, from Japanese cuisine and hibachi at Izumi Teppanyaki to tacos and more at El Loco Fresh, along with a new-to-ship Starbucks. It’s all combined with returning favourites on deck, like The Perfect Storm waterslides, crave-worthy restaurants and show-stopping entertainment.

Following the newly reimagined Allure of the Seas, the three soon-to-be-amplified vacations are the latest in the fleet to be transformed as part of Royal Caribbean’s Royal Amplified program, first introduced in 2018.
