Short Getaways, Lasting Memories with Royal Caribbean®


Imagine a holiday so big and bold it defies imagination. A Royal Caribbean® cruise is an amped-up mix of a resort-style escape and a memory-maxing voyage to bucket-list destinations. It’s packed with epic thrills - like the first-at-sea skydiving simulator RipCord® by iFly® and heart-pounding bumper car action at SeaPlex® - to must-have ‘me-time’ chills at the spa and adults-only Solarium. Delicious dining, spectacular Broadway-style productions and activities for every family member. 

Quick weekend getaway cruises with Royal Caribbean® are bar-raising adventures designed to change the way you spend your holiday. Spend your days however you want, whether you’re into action-packed thrills or poolside chill. With more weekend sailings than ever before - meaning less leave taken from your day-to-day - it’s never been easier to round up the whole crew for a few days of mind-blowing excitement.

And if you’re new to cruising, a short cruise sampler lets you experience the delicious assortment of food, the spaciousness of the staterooms, the hilarity of driving bumper cars while at sea and so much more. A fantastic introduction to the cruising lifestyle offering newcomers the chance to see why millions of people take to the high seas each year.
