Rhapsody of the Seas has been sailing the world's oceans since 1997, offering travelers a classic Royal Caribbean experience with modern updates. Part of the Vision class, this 78,878-ton ship carries 2,431 passengers and strikes a comfortable balance between intimate and spacious—large enough for plenty of amenities, yet small enough to feel approachable and easy to navigate.
This vessel focuses on two of cruising's most popular regions: the Caribbean and Mediterranean. From San Juan, Puerto Rico, she explores the tropical islands and turquoise waters of the Caribbean, while her European season takes passengers through historic Mediterranean ports including Barcelona and Piraeus-Athens. With 75 upcoming sailings and prices starting at $384, Rhapsody of the Seas offers accessible options for both first-time cruisers and seasoned travelers looking for reliable quality without the overwhelming scale of mega-ships.
The ship appeals to couples and families who appreciate Royal Caribbean's signature service and entertainment without needing every bells-and-whistles feature found on newer vessels. Her mid-size design means shorter lines, easier embarkation, and the ability to dock at ports that larger ships can't access. Whether you're drawn to the warm-weather escapes of the Caribbean or the cultural richness of Mediterranean coastlines, Rhapsody of the Seas delivers a well-rounded ocean cruising experience. Browse the available sailings to find your perfect voyage and connect with other cruisers planning similar adventures.

These rates apply fleetwide across Royal Caribbean International.
Has NOT raised gratuities since Nov 2024, while Carnival, Princess and Holland America all did in 2026. VOOM internet runs roughly $25-30/device/day. The Key ($25-50pp/day, all guests 6+ must buy) is mostly worth it for the included Wi-Fi, not the priority boarding.
