MIAMI – Enchantment of the Seas will move from Miami to join Liberty of the Seas in Galveston, Texas, offering four- and five-night Caribbean cruises that will complement Liberty's seven-night Caribbean vacations, cruise officials said.
Enchantment of the Seas is expected to arrive to Galveston on June 23, 2018. Officials said guests currently booked on Enchantment for sailings departing Miami after June 23 will be contacted individually to transition the original booking to the revitalized Mariner of the Seas from her new home port in Miami.
Royal Caribbean International also announced that it will return to New Orleans, Louisiana, after a three-year hiatus with the newly announced repositioning of Vision of the Seas for the 2018-2019 winter season.
Cruise officials said the 915-foot cruise ship will sail seven-night itineraries to destinations across the Bahamas and Yucatan Peninsula.
Officials said Vision of the Seas will offer two 16-night sailings through the Panama Canal from Miami to Los Angeles, California, and from Los Angeles to New Orleans.
This will be the first time in three years that Royal Caribbean will journey through this engineering marvel, the cruise line said.
"The two new offerings bring more options and easy access from the Gulf Coast for adventure-seekers in the region to embark on journeys to world-renowned dive destinations, explore ancient ruins of past civilizations and discover the natural beauty of rainforests," Royal Caribbean International said in a statement.
Sailings onboard Mariner of the Seas were available to book Monday, and Enchantment of the Seas and Vision of the Seas will be available to book as of Friday, officials said.
