Royal Caribbean will feature four ships in Alaska in summer 2027.
Royal Caribbean has unveiled its 2028 Alaska lineup, offering more ways for travellers to experience the beauty of the Last Frontier aboard Anthem, the newly amplified Ovation, Serenade and Voyager of the Seas, beginning in April 2028.

The 2028 lineup of Alaska vacations is now open to book on Royal Caribbean’s website.
From visiting Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau and exploring the historic charm of Skagway to taking in the rugged landscapes of Icy Strait Point, adventurers can discover the state’s remarkable wildlife, rich heritage and awe-inspiring scenery on bold vacations for all ages.
Guests can take in sweeping views of glaciers, mountains and fjords from the all-glass North Star observation capsule on Anthem and Ovation, while enjoying experiences in between destinations like the RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator, bumper cars and roller skating at SeaPlex, and live entertainment at the Royal Theater and Music Hall.
