Royal Caribbean International set two new records last week with the largest single booking day and the highest volume booking week, March 26 - April 1, in its 53-year history.
The strong demand and new bookings come on the heels of more than 1.5 million guests having sailed with the line since January 2021.
"The enthusiasm and excitement for the successful return of cruising is undeniable. We could not have reached this incredible milestone without the unwavering support of our loyal guests, our valued travel advisors and partners, and the Royal Caribbean International team around the world," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.
"Everyone has made an incredible impact and contributed to this accomplishment in every single way."
The bookings were received through the website, call centres and travel advisors with the support of Royal Caribbean International's sales team.
The cruise line is encouraging redemptions of future cruise credits through automation tools introduced in 2021 on the consumer website and trade site, CruisingPower.com, enabling both audiences to apply credits to new bookings more seamlessly.
There's lots to celebrate at Royal Caribbean International in 2022. The new booking records come in the midst of three major milestones the line: the inaugural season of the new world's largest cruise ship, Wonder of the Seas; the keel-laying ceremony for the Icon of the Seas, the first Icon Class ship; and the start of construction for Utopia of the Seas, the next Oasis Class ship and first of its class to be powered by LNG (liquefied natural gas).
