Utopia of the Seas on water
Royal Caribbean launched its sixth Oasis Class cruise ship, Utopia of the Seas, on Friday — just six months after Icon of the Seas' inaugural sailing.
  • Royal Caribbean's latest mega-ship is now operating short Caribbean itineraries.
  • At 236,860 gross tons, Utopia of the Seas is now the world's second-largest cruise ship.
  • The ship has new dining concepts but fewer pools and waterslides than Icon of the Seas.

Step aside, Icon of the Seas — there's a new giant cruise ship in Florida. And it's already attracting weekend warriors with a new ultra-long slide, food truck, and omakase dinner.
