Royal Caribbean Is Moving Vision of the Seas Out of Baltimore

The Port of Baltimore will lose one of its two regular cruise ship tenants when Royal Caribbean moves Vision of the Seas out of the city next year.

Royal Caribbean announced this week that Vision of the Seas will leave Baltimore in late 2026 for Fort Lauderdale, where it will homeport through at least April 2027. Vision will finish its current Baltimore season, which includes sailings to Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Canada/New England, before moving.

In a statement to Travel Market Report, a Royal Caribbean spokesperson confirmed the news and said that despite Vision’s move, the cruise line will still consider Baltimore as a homeport in the future.

“In late 2026, Vision of the Seas will shift to offer Caribbean sailings from Ft. Lauderdale through April 2027. We cannot comment on future deployment, but we look forward to reviewing opportunities to sail from Baltimore in the future,” the spokesperson said. 

Vision had been operating year-round out of Baltimore since 2023 and had been one of two ships to homeport in the city this year, joining Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Pride.

Carnival Pride, and Vision of the Seas, both had to adjust their schedules last March because of the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. Both lines moved operations out of Baltimore to Norfolk until marine operations reopened.
