Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas is nearing its debut in Port Canaveral, Florida, in July 2024.

The ship reached a significant milestone as it floated for the first time at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. [{ "selector": ".bpbxt-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 377px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

This float-out process, a key construction phase, took 17 months to achieve and lasted nearly 15 hours, involving filling the dry dock with over 46 million gallons of water. [{ "selector": ".kexed-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 354px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Utopia is now in an outfitting dock, where it will be completed by the summer of 2024. [{ "selector": ".olkua-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 393px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

The ship has more than 74 steel blocks assembled, and it will soon feature unique attractions like the 295-foot-long Ultimate Abyss slide and immersive train car dining. [{ "selector": ".memge-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 366px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Utopia offers over 40 dining and drinking options, numerous pools, thrills, and entertainment for friends and families to enjoy. [{ "selector": ".zowke-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 367px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

It will debut in July 2024, offering 3-night weekend and 4-night weekday getaways with stops in Nassau, The Bahamas, and Royal Caribbean's private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. [{ "selector": ".ejztn-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 362px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Utopia will be the first Oasis Class ship powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), aligning with Royal Caribbean's commitment to environmental sustainability. [{ "selector": ".kfpia-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 386px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
