Royal Caribbean will debut year-round cruises from Colombia and Panama starting May 2026 with Jewel of the Seas, replacing Serenade of the Seas. The seven-night Southern Caribbean itineraries feature the ABC Islands—Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao. This move marks the cruise line’s deepened commitment to Latin America. Alongside MSC Cruises’ expansion plans, the region is poised for a tourism boom, offering travelers vibrant culture, scenic coastlines, and economic uplift for port communities.
