Leave the everyday behind and let Radiance of the Seas carry you into a world of calm, comfort, and discovery. With sweeping ocean views and serene spaces at every turn, relaxation comes naturally here.
As the lead ship of Royal Caribbean’s Radiance Class, Radiance of the Seas offers a perfectly balanced, mid-size design with more than 700 balcony and ocean-view staterooms. Expansive glass features define the ship, from 12 ocean-facing elevators to a retractable solarium roof that lets natural light flood the interior. At the heart of the ship, the nine-storey atrium serves as a gathering place, hosting live music, entertainment, and social events throughout the day and night.
Onboard experiences are designed to suit every mood. Unwind in the adults-only Solarium, complete with soothing whirlpools and mist features, or stay active with a 40-foot rock-climbing wall, sports court, mini-golf, and a jogging track with ocean views. When evening arrives, enjoy live orchestra performances in the Royal Theatre, dazzling acrobatic shows, interactive trivia, or the always-popular Mystery Dinner Theatre.
Dining aboard Radiance of the Seas is an experience in itself. Tuck into premium steaks at Chops Grille, fresh flavours at Izumi, or classic Italian dishes at Giovanni’s Table. For a more casual atmosphere, unwind with a cocktail at the iconic Schooner Bar or enjoy a relaxed drink at the Quill & Compass pub.
| Day 1 | |
|---|---|
| Port | Tampa, Florida |
| Arrival | |
| Departure | 16:00 |
| Remark | When it comes to seaside cities in Florida, Miami and Fort Lauderdale often steal the spotlight. But nestled along Florida’s beautiful western coast sits Tampa, a metropolitan oasis that’s been on the up and up for years now. This sunny Florida city offers plenty of wonders to fill a few days ahead of your cruise from the Port of Tampa Bay. Mornings here are best spent savouring a steaming mug of café con leche in the historic Cuban-Spanish neighbourhood of Ybor City. After you’ve had your pick-me-up, hop on the TECO Line Streetcar and ride into the Channel District, where you can explore the SS American Victory, a World War II ship that’s been transformed into a museum. Among the best of Tampa’s attractions are its many art and culture exhibits — head to the Tampa Riverwalk for some educational fun at the Tampa Bay History Center, or try the Tampa Museum of Art, home to both ancient and modern masterpieces. |
| Day 2 | |
|---|---|
| Port | Day at Sea |
| Arrival | |
| Departure | |
| Remark | While at sea, take time to recharge before the next adventure. Lounge by the pool, be spoiled at the spa, dine at any of the onboard restaurants or explore the thrills on each deck until we arrive at the next destination. |
| Day 3 | |
|---|---|
| Port | Cozumel, Mexico |
| Arrival | 07:00 |
| Departure | 17:00 |
| Remark | Cozumel blends Mexican culture with Caribbean vibes. You can explore its Maya roots in Tulum, or discover a secret world of sea life as you snorkel beneath the waves in Chankanaab. From culture savouring to soaking up sunshine, you’ll find a world of adventure waiting for you in Cozumel. |
| Day 4 | |
|---|---|
| Port | Roatan, Honduras |
| Arrival | 09:00 |
| Departure | 18:00 |
| Remark | Roatán is a swath of volcanic coastline, dense rainforest, and sandy shores. You could snorkel for days through the second largest barrier reef in the world. Or wander endlessly over pine-forested hills and jungle trails. Its secluded beaches and lively West End villages offer the perfect mix of peace and pizazz. |
| Day 5 | |
|---|---|
| Port | Puerto Costa Maya, Mexico |
| Arrival | 08:00 |
| Departure | 17:00 |
| Remark | Past meets present in Costa Maya. Venture into the jungle for a glimpse of Maya history at the Chacchoben and Kohunlich ruins. Or kick back in the village of Mahahual, where you can hit the beach and sip micheladas— a spicy beer cocktail. The best of both worlds awaits. |

| Day 8 | |
|---|---|
| Port | Tampa, Florida |
| Arrival | 07:00 |
| Departure | |
| Remark | Pirates once plundered the shores of Tampa Bay, but today this swashbuckling city attracts beach seekers, outdoor enthusiasts and museum lovers alike. Its low-key beach vibe blends seamlessly with its glistening downtown atmosphere— and there’s no shortage of thrills for all ages. Explore Ybor City’s cigar-rolling history or brave rollercoasters at Busch Gardens. Kayak along the Hillsborough River past sunning alligators, and see the elusive Florida panther at the Lowry Park Zoo. Geek out at the Museum of Science & Industry’s domed IMAX Theatre— or browse Florida Cracker exhibits at Tampa Bay History Center. Tampa cruises allow you to discover a treasure trove of adventures, from the beach to the bay. The cruise might have ended, but there are still some great activities to enjoy in the area. If you flew into this port, be mindful of your departure flight time and plan accordingly. |
