While many cruise companies are offloading some of their ships to stay afloat during the pandemic, Royal Caribbean is selling an entire brand.

Despite what the headline suggests, the cruise group isn’t offering agents to take a dip in a literal pool of cash, much to our disappointment.

We haven’t been counting, but we’re pretty sure this is the 1,543,044th time we have reported on an extension of the cruise pause.

The cruise line has taken a new approach with plenty of inclusions and, to be honest, it had us at “unlimited drinks”.

The cruise line has welcomed the brand spanking new ship to its fleet with a few cheeky, socially-distanced glasses of bubbles.

A bunch of cruise giants have once again extended their return to sailing date until at least next year. However, that’s not to say their ships will be returning slightly elongated.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you – we’ve published our Wednesday Cruise Wrap on a Thursday this week! And, as you can imagine, it has led to complete and total anarchy in the Travel Weekly office.

Travel Weekly is tickled pink to present you with this week’s Cruise Wrap, and that’s not only because it was the last thing standing between us and lunch.

This week’s Cruise Wrap is a big one, so we recommend settling in with a cup of tea and a few biccies.

With its global cruise operations having been suspended since March, Royal Caribbean’s quarterly results come as no surprise.

The cruise giant has given itself a new lick of paint for the first time in 20 years.

The bosses at Royal Caribbean would no doubt be enjoying a vintage bottle of Dom Pérignon rosé and some beluga caviar in celebration of this ultra-luxe news.
