More about this trip

Royal Caribbean lists 9 port calls across these 16 nights, and 5 days are spent at sea.

This trip sails on Explorer of the Seas. See every other back-to-back on her on the ship page.

The lowest-priced back-to-back on Explorer of the Seas right now is 10 nights from Mar 19, 2027, $1,627 for 2 guests.

Prices last checked Oct 27, 2026, 6:20 PM Pacific. They are refreshed on a schedule, not live, so confirm a price with Royal Caribbean before you book. The total is the lowest interior cabin for 2 guests sharing, cruise fare plus taxes and port fees, for both legs combined, with the per person figure beside it, and fares move constantly. Each fare is Royal Caribbean's price per person for two guests sharing a cabin; it prices a guest travelling alone and a third or fourth guest differently, so check the exact total on its booking page. Royal Caribbean treats these as two separate reservations. Ask for them to be linked as a consecutive cruise when you book, and request the same stateroom if you want one.
