Royal Caribbean Ships by Size, from Largest to Smallest. You won't believe the difference between the newer and older ships! See the chart below.

Royal Caribbean Ship Sizes Overview

Below you'll find a complete list of Royal Caribbean Ships by Size. If it has an "of the Seas" in its name, then it's included in our ship sizes comparison chart. From the oldest Grandeur of the Seas (1996) to the newest Legend of the Seas (2027), you'll find the smallest to the largest Royal Caribbean ships here.

To give you an idea of just how far we've come, check out the bottom of the size comparison chart. Royal Caribbean's smallest active ship, the Grandeur of the Seas, holds 2,752 people including guests and crew. Compare that to the Legend of the Seas, with 9,950 people roaming this massive ship. That's over 3x the size!

First, we have to get something clear. We're measuring Royal Caribbean ships by size according to the metric, "Gross Tonnage." This always causes a bit of confusion amongst our community members. It's not simply "weight" that determines this size measurement. The definition is technical and boring, but we'll provide it anyway.

GROSS TONNAGE

A nonlinear measure of a ship's overall internal volume. Gross tonnage is calculated based on the moulded volume of all enclosed spaces of the ship and is used to determine things such as a ship's manning regulations, safety rules, registration fees, and port dues, whereas the older gross register tonnage is a measure of the volume of only certain enclosed spaces.

Why Gross Tonnage?

So why do we use this measurement to determine Royal Caribbean Ships Sizes? As noted above, it's used for safety rules and whatnot. As such, it's prevalent. Every passenger cruise ship will have this metric. That makes it easy to compare ship size across ship, class, line and more. Speaking of "class," we also have a great post on Royal Caribbean Ships by Class. There you can find all of the fun features (like robot bartenders and surfing machines) that are included based on RC's ship classes.

The experience on these two cruise ships will be drastically different! It's like shopping at the corner store vs the "Mall of America." Different cruisers have varying preferences. Some of you prefer familiarity and intimacy. Others want novelty and don't mind walking long distances. There are no bad options here!

RC builds its ships in "classes." These are like small families containing similar ships in each group. If you find a specific type of ship that you like, consider the other ships in its family. Check out our post, Royal Caribbean Ships by Class. Now... back to sizing.

Not only is the Legend of the Seas the biggest of Royal Caribbean's fleet. It is also the Largest Cruise Ship in the World!
