Royal Caribbean International’s President and CEO, Michael Bayley, has confirmed plans for another Ultimate World Cruise while announcing a special Reunion cruise for the prior one.
The announcement was made by Bayley in a talk onboard the Serenade of the Seas, which was captured by TikTok users brooklyntravelstheworld:

While the exact details and timeline for the next world cruise are still being worked out, Bayley said the cruise line is planning carefully.
They are coordinating with different ports and planning unique shore trips. More information will be shared in the coming months.
Next summer, Royal Caribbean will host a reunion cruise for the Ultimate World Cruise in Alaska onboard the Serenade of the Seas.
During this event, the next Ultimate World Cruise will be officially announced. Guests on the reunion cruise will have a special 24-hour window to make a deposit and secure their spot on the next voyage, ensuring they can choose the best cabins.
The first Ultimate World Cruise was a 274-day journey covering seven continents, 65 countries, and 11 great wonders of the world.
Highlights included visits to the Great Wall of China, a safari in South Africa, and a tour of Petra in Jordan.
It became quite the phenomenon online, particularly on TikTok, where there were many influencers making wild accusations about life onboard the world cruise. Many of the stories and videos were fake, clearly showing different cruise ships altogether.
