Launched in 2018, this Oasis-class vessel redefines what's possible at sea, offering an extraordinary floating resort experience that combines innovative design with endless entertainment options. Whether you're a first-time cruiser or a seasoned ocean traveler, Symphony delivers an unforgettable journey across the seas.
This remarkable ship sails primarily to the Caribbean, with 86 upcoming voyages departing from Galveston, Texas. Prices start at $573, making it accessible for various budgets.

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.
Published rates, not a quote. Cruise pricing changes frequently — confirm with the cruise line before booking.
