The three giants of the cruise world soon will be on the move.
Royal Caribbean on Tuesday announced that all three of its record-size Oasis Class vessels would be shifting home ports for 2019.
The namesake for the class, Oasis of the Seas, will redeploy to Barcelona for the summer of 2019 from its current home in Port Canaveral, Fla. for a series of Mediterranean cruises. Later in the year, it’ll return to Florida but not Port Canaveral. Miami will be its new home.
The second ship in the Oasis Class series, Allure of the Seas, in turn will move from Miami to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. in 2019. The third ship in the series, Harmony of the Seas, will move from Fort Lauderdale to Port Canaveral.

Ranging from 225,282 to 226,963 tons, the three ships are more than 30% larger than the next largest cruise vessels. They each can hold more than 6,000 passengers.
Royal Caribbean’s announcement comes as the line prepares to unveil a fourth vessel in the Oasis Class series, Symphony of the Seas. At 230,000 tons, it’ll be the biggest of them all — the new world’s largest cruise ship.

Scheduled to debut in March, Symphony will spend its first few months operating voyages in the Mediterranean before taking up residence in Miami.
Like its three sisters, Symphony will sail seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries when based in Florida.
The Oasis Class ships have made waves in the cruise industry since they began rolling out in 2009. Boasting all the trappings of mega-resorts on land, they are chock full of restaurants, bars, lounges and entertainment zones, and they feature a wide range of deck-top amusements including multiple pool areas, FlowRider surf simulators, mini-golf courses and nine-deck-high zip lines.
Royal Caribbean on Tuesday also revealed Oasis would receive a bow-to-stern refurbishment before moving to Miami in 2019.
