Ready to plan a heart-warming and heart-pumping group trip? Let Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas awaken your senses and set the stage for unforgettable shared memories. This next-generation Oasis Class ship isn’t just a vacation — it’s a floating playground where every member of your group can find their own slice of paradise.
Feel the Rush: Thrills That Bond
Kick off the trip by stimulating your sense of adventure as you and your crew race down the Ultimate Abyss — a ten-story dry slide that begins atop a glass platform on Deck 16 and rockets you 259 feet to the Boardwalk neighborhood below. With LED-lit twists and turns, you’ll hit speeds of up to nine miles per hour — and you’ll be laughing (and maybe screaming) the whole way down.
From rock climbing and zip-lining to surfing the FlowRider®, there are countless ways to raise your heart rate together. Prefer to cheer from the sidelines? That’s just as fun — because sometimes the best memories are made watching someone else scream their way down a waterslide.
Savor the Flavor: Food That Brings People Together
Dining is one of the most memorable parts of any group vacation — and Utopia of the Seas makes it easy, delicious and inclusive. With over 20 venues onboard, even the pickiest eater will find something to love.
Gather the whole group at 150 Central Park, an upscale fine dining experience nestled within the lush greenery of the Central Park neighborhood, or savor perfectly grilled steaks at Chops Grille. Want something more casual? Utopia has your group covered. Grab tacos at El Loco Fresh®, share pizzas at Sorrento’s or sample the playful cocktails at The Pesky Parrot, Utopia’s new Caribbean-themed tiki bar.

See the Spectacle: Entertainment That Wows
The sense of sight is spoiled on board Utopia. Main stage productions such as All In combine drones, aerial acrobatics and Broadway-level performances to immerse the audience in music and motion.

Over in Studio B, the ice show Youtopia stuns with gravity-defying lifts, dazzling costumes and cinematic effects that make you forget you’re at sea. Don’t miss Aqua80Too, the retro-cool water show in the AquaTheater, where elite divers leap from 30-foot platforms in perfect sync to nostalgic ’80s anthems.
Entertainment onboard is sensory overload — in the best way.
Relax and Reconnect: Create Your Own Vibe
Whether your group includes adrenaline junkies, poolside loungers or trivia champs, Utopia of the Seas lets everyone find their vibe.
Maybe you start the morning with a moment of bliss and tranquility paired with coffee on your balcony or gather for group breakfast or brunch. Spend the day dancing by the pool, hitting the casino or finding peace in the spa’s tranquil sanctuary.

Later, meet for sunset cocktails at Vue Bar or sip wine with piano tunes at Schooner Bar. For the party animals, let them belt out a hit at Spotlight Karaoke or salsa the night away at the lively Boleros lounge, known for its live Latin music and energetic atmosphere. With so many choices, it’s easy to split up and reunite for shared moments that anchor the day.
