As we move towards Covid-19 being an endemic virus, we expect to see changing guidance from health authorities around the world. Our job is to ensure that decision makers have the evidence they need to make good, science-based decisions that are consistent with the shoreside practices that guide land-based travel and tourism. Royal Caribbean International (RCI), previously known as Royal Caribbean Cruise Line (RCCL), is a cruise line brand founded in 1968 in Norway and organized as a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Caribbean Group since 1997. Based in Miami, Florida, it is the largest cruise line by revenue and second largest by passengers counts.

Going net zero: how the cruise industry is charting a more sustainable future
So much so that Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ 34,000-mile world trip for 2024 sold out in just over two hours, while the adults-only Virgin Voyages, which aims to throw cruise stereotypes overboard, rose to first place in Large Ships. And we’ve brought back last year's new category showcasing the expedition cruises – small, often sustainable vessels with a shoal of scientific experts onboard – that follow in the wake of adventurers such as Sir Ernest Shackleton. Examine the ship’s layout to see where your cabin is in relation to key areas like the lido deck, dining rooms, and entertainment venues.
CLIA IN EUROPE
Please allow at least 10 minutes to receive the email before requesting another password reset. For scenic cruises, such as those in Alaska or the Norwegian fjords, a balcony might be worth the splurge to enjoy the magnificent views in relative peace. A balcony breakfast while sailing along a fjord will be an experience to remember. Before booking, read reviews of the ship and specific cabins on websites such as Cruise Critic or watching YouTube reviews. Previous travelers can offer invaluable insight into noise levels, views, and overall satisfaction. Inside cabins on the 'P&O Arvia' cruise ship are a good value accommodation option.

In stark contrast, there were 269,067 new land-based hospitalisations in the USA during the same period, equivalent to 2,786 per 100,000 Covid-19 cases. Hence, those aboard cruise ships demonstrably faced vastly less risk of hospitalisation from Covid-19 than those on land in the USA. One priority is to get cruise capacity back to pre-pandemic levels by reactivating 100 per cent of the fleet by mid-summer 2022, allowing us to employ more than one million people and contribute billions of dollars to world economies. We also aim to continue leading the travel and tourism sector in Covid-19 risk mitigation efforts, and stay on course to achieve our goal of pursuing carbon-neutral cruising by 2050. "This report shows that the cruise industry is resilient, innovative and focused on the future" said Pierfrancesco Vago, Chairman of CLIA Global.
Equipped with robust health and safety protocols that are unmatched in any setting outside of healthcare, as well as the data and analysis that demonstrates the effectiveness of this multi-layered approach, we have made tremendous progress. Approximately six million passengers have sailed on more than 200 ships in 86 markets since July 2020, including more than 100 ships that have returned to US waters, carrying well over one million people from a US port since late June 2021. CLIA’s integrated government affairs and strategic communication efforts have been central to the industry’s success.
In the baseline forecast, passenger volume is expected to recover and surpass 2019 levels by the end of 2023. And in the upside forecast, passenger volume is expected to recover to 101 per cent of 2019 levels by the end of 2022. In both scenarios, passenger volume is projected to recover in excess of 12 per cent above 2019 levels by the end of 2026. CLIA member cruise lines have committed to a 40% reduction in the rate of carbon emissions across the global fleet by 2030, compared to 2008, consistent with the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) carbon intensity reduction level of ambition.
About The Industry
As we enter the third year of the pandemic, CLIA and our members have been working hard to build back operations to pre-pandemic levels. While the health and safety of crew, passengers and the places cruise ships visit remain the number one priority, our industry is also focused on leading the way in environmental sustainability. "Our industry is committed to pursuing net carbon neutral cruising by 2050, and CLIA and our ocean-going members are investing in new technologies and cleaner fuels now to realise this ambition." At the height of the Omicron surge, the hospitalisation rate on cruise ships was more than 80 times lower than on land in the USA. The PBI Research Institute’s analysis from 30 December 2021 to 12 January 2022 shows only five hospitalisations occurred among the more than 416,000 passengers and crew sailing in US waters – equivalent to 34 per 100,000 Covid-19 cases.
The Radiance-class ships have over 3 acres (12,000 m2) of glass, glass exterior viewing elevators, over 700 balcony staterooms, two-level glass windowed dining rooms, alternative restaurants, a retractable glass roof over a pool, an outdoor pool, as well as the first self-leveling billiard tables at sea. The Radiance class ships were constructed at Meyer Werft, Papenburg, Germany. Unlike the preceding Voyager class, these ships are built to the Panamax form factor, allowing them to pass through the Panama Canal. That makes everything difficult, especially navigating the intricacies of governments at all levels.
However, depending on the size of the ship, they could be farther from entertainment and dining areas. On big ships, there may be 10 or even more flights of stairs between your cabin and the pool, sun deck, buffet, and other amenities found at the top of the ship. There will be elevators, of course, but you should expect queues at busy times. Thanks to the support of an incredibly strong community, the future is bright.
In January 2022, CLIA released its annual state of the Industry report and demonstrated how the industry is driving innovation for a more efficient future. By 2027, CLIA’s fleet will have 26 LNG-powered ocean-going cruise ships and 231 of its vessels will be equipped with advanced waste water systems, 176 will have exhaust gas cleaning systems, and 174 ocean-going cruise ships will be fitted with shore power capabilities. The Oasis-class ships are some of the largest passenger ships ever built, having surpassed the Freedom-class ships, and are surpassed only by the Icon-class ships. They can accommodate up to 5,400 passengers at double occupancy and they have a maximum capacity of 6,296 passengers. All Radiance-class ships have a gross tonnage of 90,090 and environmentally friendlier gas turbine engines.
