Royal Caribbean has today announced a change of course as the world’s largest cruise ship, Wonder of the Seas, will now debut in the U.S. and Europe. Royal Caribbean’s newest ship was originally due to homeport in Asia, with her first cruises planned to depart from Shangai, China in March 2022, however, the evolving situation with regards to international cruises in Asia has clearly lead to a change of course.

Wonder of the Seas will now set course for the USA, she will set to sail from her new home in Fort Lauderdale with cruises to the Caribbean due to begin on the 4th of March 2022.
