Overview
- Royal Caribbean confirms Vision of the Seas will shift to Fort Lauderdale in October 2026 and operate Caribbean sailings there through April 2027.
- Company schedules show at least 20 departures from Baltimore between May and October 2027, including five- and nine-night trips to the Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada and New England.
- Royal Caribbean’s booking site indicates the ship will be based in San Juan in late 2026 before repositioning to Baltimore for the 2027 warm-weather season.
- Port of Baltimore leaders say a multi-year deal with Royal Caribbean is still in progress and they will seek other deployments to cover months when the ship is away.
- Physical limits under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge restrict newer, taller vessels, shaping which ships can call on Baltimore as Carnival maintains a separate commitment there through 2030.
