Royal Caribbean's Largest European Deployment
Twelve of Royal Caribbean International's ships will be home porting in Europe for the 2012 Summer season. This marks the largest deployment in Europe for the line, up from 11 ships in 2011 and 8 ships in 2010. This is a substantial investment in the European market. Other lines are also increasing deployments in Europe.
Royal Caribbean adds 2,100-passenger Serenade of the Seas to the European fleet in 2012, sailing out of Barcelona, Spain. Her debut in Europe features two different 12-night Mediterranean itineraries.
Royal Caribbean also announced it will begin regular cruises out of Amsterdam for the first time, its 12th home port in the region. 2,100-passenger Brilliance of the Seas will sail a new series of Northern Europe itineraries out of the city and Copenhagen.
