OUR VISION
We dream at Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
We look beyond the now, sensing and feeling and intuiting what could be. As a company and as individuals, we feel compelled to ask this question:
What if?What if we could build an ice rink on a cruise ship?What if we could blow glass at sea?What if we could take people to places they never thought they’d see?What if?
More than 40 years ago, we set out to create ships that astound and experiences that amaze. The road from dream to reality has been filled with hypothesis and experiment, reconsideration and revision, satisfaction and success.
