Royal Caribbean has confirmed it will redeploy Navigator of the Seas to the Caribbean for the 2011-12 winter season.

The ship will reposition to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale (Florida), and sail a range of five to nine-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries starting on 20 November 2011.

Navigator of the Seas will also offer a 14-night, transatlantic sailing from Rome to Port Everglades, departing November 6th 2011, and a 15-night return cruise to Rome on April 14th 2012.

Navigator of the Seas will alternate six-night Western Caribbean itineraries with eight-night Eastern Caribbean itineraries.

Ports of call on the six-night sailings include Grand Cayman, the newly opened Historic Falmouth Port (Jamaica), and Labadee (Haiti). The eight-night sailing features calls at St. Maarten, St. Kitts, San Juan (Puerto Rico) and Labadee (Haiti).

A seven-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary, departing on January 8th and 22nd 2012, excludes the call at St. Kitts from the eight-night itinerary, while a seven-night Western Caribbean itinerary, departing January 15th, adds a call to the six-night itinerary at Cozumel (Mexico).

A special nine-night New Year’s cruise, departing December 30th 2011, adds a call at St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands) to the eight-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary.

Royal Caribbean International is a global cruise brand with 22 ships currently in service.
