Royal Caribbean has unveiled its new Ultimate Destination lineup, headlined by Perfect Day Mexico, opening in fall 2027. The lineup also includes the brand’s first Royal Beach Clubs, offering new beach experiences in Mexico, The Bahamas, and the South Pacific. These destinations are designed to enhance Royal Caribbean’s newest ships with upgraded shoreside experiences.
“We’ve spent 50 years redefining vacations at sea, and now we’re expanding that innovation to shore,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean. “Perfect Day Mexico is our boldest destination yet, and we look forward to welcoming guests to a vacation experience only Royal Caribbean can deliver.”
Perfect Day Mexico – Opening Fall 2027
Located on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, this 200-acre destination will feature seven neighborhoods offering something for every traveler. It will be included on Western Caribbean itineraries departing from Galveston, New Orleans, and Florida.
Loco Waterpark- Home to more than 30 waterslides across five towers, including Jaguar’s Peak, the tallest waterslide tower in the Americas. It also features the world’s longest coaster slide, family raft slides, a sombrero-shaped slide, and kid-friendly zones.
Splash Cove- Features the world’s longest lazy river, a 100,000-square-foot pool, and the largest Splashaway Bay. Families can relax in nearby Splashaway Cabanas.
