Royal Caribbean to upgrade three...

Introductions to include revamped pool decks and new dining venues

Royal Caribbean will "amplify" three of its ships – Ovation, Harmony and Liberty of the Seas – before the spring 2026 season.

Liberty will receive a "completely reimagined pool deck" and a new Royal Escape Room concept ahead of its northern European itineraries, including seven-night sailings of the Norwegian fjords. The ship will then explore the Western Caribbean for winter season.

New drinking and dining options such as The Lime & Coconut Bar, Izumi Teppanyaki, El Loco Fresh taco restaurant and Starbucks will also join the lineup of additions to the vessel.

Ovation and Harmony will similarly receive revamped pool decks and new dining venues.

Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen, Izumi Teppanyaki and the Pesky Parrot tiki bar will be installed on Ovation, along with dancing venue Sound Cellar, while Casino Royal will be expanded with more slots and games. There will also be new accommodations including the Ultimate Family Suite and Panoramic Suite.

Introductions on Harmony include The Lime & Coconut bar, a revamped adults-only Solarium, Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, El Loco Fresh restaurant and Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse, plus the Ultimate Family Suite and expanded Casino Royale, making it the largest in the fleet.

Ovation will offer seven to 13-night Alaskan cruises from spring 2026, while Harmony will sail European itineraries before home-porting in Port Canaveral, Florida with 5- and 7-night Caribbean itineraries, including stops at the brand's Perfect Day at CocoCay destination in The Bahamas.

Chief Innovation Officer Jay Schneider said: "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 programme 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.

"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."
