Swimming Pools: Create Your Own Vibe

Guests have a multitude of ways to spend their days. Whether it’s by pool or the beach, both can be found onboard Utopia of the Seas. Complemented by Perfect Day at CocoCay’s white sand beaches, the vibes across the ship’s five swimming pools range from upbeat to lowkey for everyone. Highlights include the tranquil Solarium Pool, Resort-style pools and sloping beach-entry pools that come to life with the lively Lime & Coconut bar, three-story waterslides at The Perfect Storm and spots to grab a bite to eat like the new Poolside Food Truck.

Celebrations: Venues Suitable For Every Occasion

Aboard Utopia, travelers are just minutes away from their next big celebration, with more than 20 different bars and entertainment spots, two casinos, live music venues and show-stopping entertainment.

Pesky Parrot

The Pesky Parrot is a new Caribbean-themed Tiki bar that serves up fruit-based cocktails made with rum, tequila and gin, alongside frozen drinks and more. The bar will be a slice of laidback paradise amongst the hustle and bustle of the Royal Promenade — the ship’s main thoroughfare to many destinations.

Casino Royale

Utopia will feature not one, but two casinos, which will house in excess of 370 slot machines, nearly 30 table games and more.

Live Music Venues Aplenty

Guests who enjoy live music will find five live music venues. The classic Schooner Bar — a Royal Caribbean staple, will be back for guests who enjoy tunes on the Piano. The ship will also feature Spotlight Karaoke, and Latin hotspot Boleros. Guests who enjoy rock can visit the Music Hall, to rock out with the best cover bands at sea. And finally, we have Bell & Barley, the onboard English pub will feature a live guitarist,

Showstopping Entertainment

The cruise line’s original production shows take center stage across air, ice, water and theater, including high diving, slacklining and acrobatics at the AquaTheater; ice-skating feats at Studio B; and theatrical productions at the Royal Theater.

New Ways To Stay — Solarium Suites

Utopia of the Seas will feature new stateroom and suite options not seen on other Oasis-class ships. With more than 20 accommodation options aboard Utopia, guests will have no trouble finding a stateroom or suite that will fit their needs. The most iconic of the new accommodations? The Solarium Suites.

Perched above the ship’s bridge wings, the Solarium Suite features panoramic ocean views, as well as the Infinite Balcony found on the Icon of the Seas and Edge-Series ships from Celebrity Cruises.

The Era of Environmentally-Friendly Cruising Is Now.

Our Earth is our only Utopia, and Utopia of the Seas will be protecting it for future generations by running on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Utopia will be the first Oasis-Class ship to burn LNG instead of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), reducing harmful emissions by an impressive margin.
