Gabriele || Cruising PassionMIAMI, October 23, 2025 – It’s celebration time for Royal Caribbean International as the cruise line marks another historic milestone: the first steel cut for the seventh Oasis Class ship, officially kicking off the journey of the next groundbreaking vessel set to debut in 2028.
The steel-cutting ceremony took place at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France — the same site where some of the most iconic Royal Caribbean ships were born. Executives from Royal Caribbean and Chantiers de l’Atlantique attended the event, joined by teams of engineers, architects, designers, and innovators who will bring this new vessel, known for now as the “lucky number seven,” to life.
A New Chapter in the Oasis Legacy
From the trailblazing Oasis of the Seas, which redefined cruising when it launched more than a decade ago, to the latest Utopia of the Seas, designed for the ultimate short getaway, Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class continues to evolve and set new records in the industry.
The upcoming ship will continue that legacy, offering unparalleled experiences that blend thrills and relaxation, with new ways to dine, drink, celebrate, and be entertained — all designed to surprise and delight guests.
A Bold Vision for 2028
While Royal Caribbean has not yet revealed the official name of the seventh Oasis Class ship, the company confirmed that more details will be shared in the near future. What is certain is that this next-generation vessel will further push the boundaries of innovation, combining cutting-edge design, exceptional onboard experiences, and the unmistakable energy of Royal Caribbean.
The Future of Cruising Continues to Take Shape
With the introduction of this new ship, Royal Caribbean once again reinforces its position as a pioneer in modern cruising, continuing to innovate and deliver extraordinary vacations at sea. The seventh Oasis Class ship is expected to become one of the most impressive ever built — a destination in itself for travelers around the world.
