It's not simply 'weight' that determines this size measurement. We're measuring Royal Caribbean ships by size according to the metric, 'Gross Tonnage.' This always causes a bit of confusion amongst our community members. That's over 3x the size!įirst, we have to get something clear. Compare that to the top where you'll see the planned Icon of the Seas with nearly 10,000 people roaming this massive ship.

Royal Caribbean's earliest ships held less than 3,000 people including guests and cruise staff. To give you an idea of just how far we've come, check out the bottom of the size comparison chart. From the oldest Grandeur of the Seas to the newest planned, Utopia of the Seas (scheduled for 2024), you'll find the smallest to the largest Royal Caribbean ships here.

If it has an ' of the Seas' in its name, then it's included in our ship sizes comparison chart. Below you'll find a complete list of Royal Caribbean Ships by Size.
