Royal Caribbean is adding more “short” Caribbean getaways beginning next year, the company said this week. 

The cruise giant has revealed its lineup of different “short” cruises to the region for 2024, with itineraries on eight different ships. 

That will include Caribbean sailings on ships like Allure of the Seas, Independence of the Seas, Mariner of the Seas and Navigator of the Seas, among others. 

Sailings will range from three-night trips stopping in Nassau and Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas to four-night Eastern Caribbean sailings that include stops in Labadee, Haiti. 

“Families, friends and vacationers alike can set their sights on making the most of their vacation time on a variety of ships,” the company said in a statement. 

The schedule will include sailings from Miami, Port Canaveral, Tampa, Galveston and Fort Lauderdale. 

Royal Caribbean has already opened up all of its 2024-2025 short sailings for bookings.
