First Steel Cut for New Utopia of the Sea
A new adventure begins: Construction on the sixth ship in Royal Caribbean International’s revolutionary Oasis Class is now underway in Saint-Nazaire, France.
On April 5, Royal Caribbean International began construction on the next ship in the revolutionary Oasis Class at a steel-cutting ceremony held at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. Debuting spring 2024, the sixth Oasis Class ship will be named Utopia of the Seas and the first of its class powered by LNG (liquefied natural gas).
The cruise line revealed the name of the upcoming marvel, Utopia of the Seas, at a steel-cutting ceremony that took place at the Chantiers de l‘Atlantique shipyard.
Come spring 2024, the first Oasis Class ship powered by LNG (liquefied natural gas) will be a bold evolution of the class of ships that changed the industry more than a decade ago with the signature combination of Royal Caribbean experiences and brand-new thrills made for guests of all ages. Watch as Utopia’s first piece of steel is cut to mark the start of the 30-month construction process.
