Best known for its strong presence in the Caribbean, RCI also operates popular itineraries in the Mediterranean, Alaska and the Mexican Riviera. RCI's handsome, modern megaships offer spacious and impressive public areas such as a multi-deck atrium with glass elevators and the company’s hallmark Viking Crown Lounge – a glass-wrapped observation lounge located on the highest deck to provide passengers with a panoramic view of the passing scenery.

This is the cruise line which has introduced onboard activities not normally associated with a cruise such as rock climbing (with a wall constructed on the back of the funnel) and ice skating. Family suites, a spacious playroom and teen center make these ships ideal for passengers with children – in fact RCI may deserve highest marks in this department with excellent children's facilities and dedicated staff on almost all ships.

RCCL currently positions two sister ships in Alaska, Vision of the Seas and Rhapsody of the Seas, as well as the new 88,000-ton Radiance of the Seas. Radiance and Vision offer similar seven-day roundtrip cruises from Vancouver, and Rhapsody sails on line cruises between Vancouver and Seward. Legend of the Seas and Grandeur of the Seas are currently servicing the Med. Other destinations covered by RCI are Australia, Bermuda, South America, Hawaii and the Panama Canal.
