The newest Royal Caribbean ship, Utopia of the Seas, is cranking up its engines to ensure it’s seaworthy before it makes its way to Port Canaveral in July.
The sixth Oasis-class vessel set to become the second largest cruise ship in the world has five days of sea trials ahead of it, sailing from the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, on Tuesday where it has been under construction since April 2022.
With 10 weeks before its July 19 debut, the ship will perform hundreds of tests as it travels more than 1,000 miles.
“More than 900 experts, specialists across areas such as naval architecture, engineering, navigation and design, are on Utopia to push the ship to its limits and make sure it’s ready for smooth sailing,” according to a Royal Caribbean news release.
On the list will be confirming expected ship movement through the open water and making sure its navigation systems and engines perform as expected.

Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s chief financial officer, wants to help Trump. A few months after his legislative bill to create a $5 million pool to help pay Trump’s legal bills was shot down by a veto threat from Gov. Ron DeSantis, Patronis sent “President Trump” a fawning letter inviting him to claim his money.
“There are some very, very nasty people coming after you, and every dollar matters in your efforts to fight back against these radical state attorneys who have weaponized the courts,” Patronis wrote in a letter bearing the Chief Financial Officer seal.
“We need you and your team to have every resource possible to get through these BS charges so you can get back to work in Making America Great Again!”
