Royal Caribbean has announced the Vision of the Seas’ plans for the winter 2012-13 Caribbean season.

The itineraries are destination rich and visit smaller Caribbean islands less frequented by the cruise line’s larger ships.

Guests can choose from 19 Caribbean and Panama Canal cruises, ranging in duration from ten to 15 nights, sailing from the seasonal homeport of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The sailings are now open for booking.

The itineraries include variations of a ten-night Eastern Caribbean cruise itinerary which feature calls at Tortola, St. Maarten, Dominica, Antigua, St. Kitts, St. Croix and Martinique.

In response to customer demand, Royal Caribbean International also is offering four Panama Canal sailings.

Two 14-night Panama Canal itineraries will sail from Port Everglades and San Diego on October 5th and 19th 2012 respectively.

Two 15-night sailings on March 18th and April 2nd 2013 also depart Port Everglades and San Diego respectively.

Vision of the Seas features two acres of glass walls, offering guests sweeping views of the Caribbean and the landscapes surrounding the Panama Canal
