The Cruise Line Hits All-time Highs in a
Single Day of Reservations and the Highest Volume Booking
Week
MIAMI, Dec. 1, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- In just under five weeks, Royal Caribbean
International has set new bookings records yet again. This
Black Friday was the cruise line's single largest booking
day in its 53-year history, which marked the third time the
record was broken in 2022 and the peak of what is now the brand's
highest volume booking week. The strong demand and
performance demonstrated by the two latest records come on the
heels of the first look at the world's best family vacation,
Icon of the Seas, and the record-breaking day
reported when the highly anticipated ship opened for bookings 15
months ahead of its January 2024
debut.
"This has been a year for the books at Royal Caribbean
International, from the full return of our 26 ships to the first
look at Icon of the Seas, the best family vacation in the
world," said Michael Bayley,
president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. "Every milestone
met is an accomplishment achieved, it's a wonderful start to 2023
and we are excited for what lies ahead. We could not have
reached this point without our loyal guests, valued travel advisors
and partners, and the Royal Caribbean International team around the
world."
In 2022, the cruise line marked both the single largest booking
day and the highest volume booking week in April, which was
followed by another record-breaking single day of bookings with the
opening of Icon in October. The announcement of the newest
records are celebrated along with a series of major, recent
milestones for the brand, including the reveal of Icon as
the first-of-its-kind combination of the best of every
vacation and the arrival of Wonder of the
Seas, the world's newest wonder, into its year-round home
of Port Canaveral, Florida. More
about Icon and the cruise line's new adventures across ships
and private destinations will be revealed in the coming months.
