Executives of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. announced today Royal Caribbean International’s 2012 Asia cruises deployment schedule for Voyager of the Seas – the largest and most amenity-filled cruise ship to sail in the region.

Royal Caribbean Cruises has been informed by Cruise Associates and A Wilhelmsen AS, its two largest shareholders, that they have terminated the Shareholders’ Agreement between themselves. The Company is not a party to the Agreement.

Law firm Kahn Swick & Foti has confirmed it will launch a class action law suit against Royal Caribbean after the cruise operator admitted an accounting error during its Second Quarter 2011 fiscal results. Stock prices in the company dropped by as much as 13 per cent following the admission, leaving many investors out of pocket.

Royal Caribbean has launched its new winter sun brochure to coincide with the launch of its new ‘Pack More In’ campaign. Packed with eight-18 night itineraries to Spain and Canaries, Dubai, India and The Caribbean, the winter sun brochure aims to help those that are new to selling or taking a cruise by demystifying some of the commonly used cruising jargon. 

Royal Caribbean has reported a net profit of $93.5 million, or 43 cents per share, for the three months to June 30th - up from $53.7 million a year earlier. However, the cruise line reduced full year guidance on profits, while an accounting error led to a further reduction.

Royal Caribbean International has recently announced the launch of the ‘All Access Tour’ allowing guests to visit behind-the-scenes operations spaces and meet key onboard staff members on an escorted tour during their cruise.
