Tampa’s cruise scene is getting a boost with two of Royal Caribbean’s classic ships making it their home for the winter season of 2025-26. Rhapsody of the Seas and Grandeur of the Seas will embark on exciting voyages from the Port of Tampa, offering six to eight-night trips until 2026.

During the winter months, Rhapsody of the Seas will whisk passengers from Tampa to Belize City, Costa Maya, Cozumel, George Town, and Roatan, according to a release.

Meanwhile, Grandeur of the Seas will treat vacationers to seven-night escapes exploring the western Caribbean and the Bahamas. These ships, part of Royal Caribbean’s Vision Class fleet, may be the oldest and smallest, but they still offer a cozy and enjoyable experience for roughly 2,000 to 2,400 passengers. The news was first reported by Travel Pulse.
