Royal Caribbean Departure Ports and Ports of Call
Royal Caribbean have 27 ships that offer 567 different itineraries to all sorts of amazing destinations to get you excited. In this guide I am going to cover some information about Royal Caribbean ports. That includes departure ports and ports of call, where you can explore Alaska all the way to Asia in style on their fabulous ships.
Royal Caribbean Departure Ports
Royal Caribbean cruises leave from 34 different departure ports around the world:
| Continent | Departure Port |
| Asia | Singapore, Singapore Tokyo, Japan |
| Oceania | Brisbane, Australia Perth, Australia Sydney, Australia |
| Europe | Amsterdam, Netherlands Athens, Greece Barcelona, Spain Haifa, Israel Limassol, Cyprus Rome, Italy Southampton, England Venice, Italy |
| North America | Baltimore, Maryland Boston, Massachusetts Bridgetown, Barbados Cape Liberty, New Jersey Colon, Panama Fort Lauderdale, Florida Galveston, Texas Los Angeles, California Miami, Florida New Orleans, Louisiana Oahu, Hawaii Panama City, Panama Port Canaveral, Florida Quebec City, Quebec San Diego, California San Juan, Puerto Rico Seattle, Washington Seward, Alaska Tampa, Florida Vancouver, British Columbia |
| South America | Cartagena, Colombia |
As you can expect, the ships mostly explore nearby areas of their departure port. So if for example a cruise sets off from Barcelona, Spain, you can expect it to explore the Mediterranean.
I should point out that most of the time cruise ships end up in the same place they started. So if a cruise left from Miami, it goes back to Miami at the end. However some cruises end up in different countries in the same continent. For example Singapore to Japan or Venice to Barcelona.
However Royal Caribbean also have 14 transatlantic cruises. So you have the opportunity to board either in Europe or the US and travel to the other side of the pond. There is also the opportunity to travel from Hawaii to Vancouver and vice versa with 8 different itineraries.
