How Royal Caribbean Is Revamping Ovation, Harmony and Liberty of the Seas
Royal Caribbean is tripling the adventure in 2026 with the debut of three newly amplified vacations aboard Ovation, Harmony and Liberty of the Seas. The popular ships are set to be reimagined with fresh experiences and features while visiting destinations across Alaska, Europe and the Caribbean. Royal Caribbean says clients will have more choices than ever before for adventures starting spring 2026 and can book the vacations now on the company’s website.
“Royal Caribbean continues to raise the bar on delivering the best of every vacation with revolutionary ships and top-rated exclusive destinations. The Royal Amplified program gives our guests the best of Royal Caribbean with new-to-class culinary options and experiences, entertainment and thrilling adventures, paired with the hospitality and service Royal Caribbean is known for,” said Jay Schneider, chief product innovation officer at Royal Caribbean. “After seeing incredible success and guest satisfaction with the amplification of Allure of the Seas, we’re excited to bring three new amplifications to our fleet in 2026.”
Ovation of the Seas
Ovation will feature a revamped pool deck with private casitas and a new whirlpool. Dining options include Tuscan favorites at Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen and hibachi at Izumi Teppanyaki. The celebrations continue with tropical cocktails at the Pesky Parrot tiki bar, making its Quantum Class debut; dancing at the brand-new Sound Cellar; and more slots and games at the expanded Casino Royale. New accommodations like the Ultimate Family Suite and Panoramic Suite will join a lineup of returning favorites highlighted by the Ripcord by iFly skydiving simulator and SeaPlex, the largest indoor activity space at sea.
Ovation will offer getaways to Alaska, where vacationers can take in the wonders of the Last Frontier on seven- to 13-night sailings starting spring 2026. Plus, Ovation returns to the region as the first member of the Quantum Class lineup to deliver immersive adventures on land with multi-night cruisetour experiences.
Harmony of the Seas
Harmony is rolling out a Caribbean-inspired pool deck with The Lime & Coconut bar and a refreshed adults-only Solarium. Dining spans more than 20 venues, including Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade for gameday favorites, El Loco Fresh for Mexican delights, and the new Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. There are new accommodations as well like the Ultimate Family Suite and even more nightlife at the largest Casino Royale in Royal Caribbean’s fleet.
Harmony will kick off its summer glow-up in Europe before heading to Port Canaveral, Florida. Starting winter 2026, vacationers can get away to the Caribbean on five- and seven-night vacations to destinations like Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, and Falmouth, Jamaica. Clients can also visit the vacation brand’s Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas and purchase their day passes to the all-inclusive Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, debuting December 2025.
Liberty of the Seas
Families are in for all-new experiences at the completely reimagined pool deck featuring The Lime & Coconut and new casitas. Cruisers should also check out the new Royal Escape Room. In terms of dining, there are flavors for all tastebuds including Izumi Teppanyaki and El Loco Fresh, along with a new-to-ship Starbucks. They join returning favorites on deck like The Perfect Storm waterslides.
Sailing from Southampton in summer 2026, vacationers on Liberty can explore European hot spots with seven-night adventures to places like the Norwegian fjords, medieval streets of Bruges, Belgium, and Copenhagen, Denmark. Liberty will then head to Galveston, Texas, for the winter season, exploring the Western Caribbean including the vacation brand’s Royal Beach Club Cozumel, which opens in Mexico in 2026.
Following the newly reimagined Allure of the Seas, these three soon-to-be-amplified ships are the latest in the company’s fleet to be transformed as part of Royal Caribbean’s Royal Amplified program, first introduced in 2018. The brand will continue to expand its destination lineup in the next three years with the addition of four exclusive experiences, including Perfect Day Mexico in fall 2027. Joining the lineup are Royal Caribbean’s new Royal Beach Clubs in Paradise Island in The Bahamas and Cozumel, along with exclusive beach destinations in Labadee, Haiti, and Lelepa in the South Pacific.
