Brilliance of the Seas: seven embarkation ports, the most scattered calendar

Our 108 departures on Brilliance of the Seas touch seven different embarkation ports: Fort Lauderdale (44), Ravenna (27), Tampa (20) and four others. No Royal Caribbean ship in our catalogue touches as many.

She is a nomadic ship. She crosses the Atlantic between her seasons, which explains the spread. For a client, that means many regions within reach and few dates per region: the booking window closes fast if you are aiming at a precise itinerary.

The one ship of her class whose capacity is qualified

Brilliance carries 2,140 guests at double occupancy and 2,543 maximum, with 848 crew. She is the only Radiance-class ship for which our source distinguishes the two values.

For Radiance of the Seas, Serenade and Jewel of the Seas, it gives a single figure of 2,501 or 2,490, without saying which occupancy it describes. So we do not qualify it. That may look fussy; it is the difference between a correct figure and a convenient one.

Twenty-four years, no documented refit

Delivered in 2002, Brilliance has no documented refurbishment to our knowledge. Two other ships of her class are in the same position. Jewel of the Seas, from the same yard and the same age, went into dry dock at Brest in May 2024.

We prefer to say it. A client comparing two ships from the same yard and the same year should know that one went into dry dock two years ago and the other never.

The measurements

Delivered in 2002 by the Meyer Werft yard at Papenburg, Germany, Brilliance measures 292 metres, is rated at 90,090 gross tons and has 12 decks. She is powered by gas turbines, like her whole class: cleaner in emissions, less economical in fuel, and with documented propulsion trouble on several departures in 2023 and 2024.

At 90,090 tons she moves more than a 226,838-ton unit such as Harmony of the Seas. A traveller prone to seasickness should take that into account.

What the spread opens up

Fort Lauderdale gives the Caribbean, Ravenna gives the Adriatic, Tampa gives the Gulf of Mexico. Three regions on one ship, so the same stateroom configuration and the same rhythm aboard from one season to the next.

For a returning client that is a real argument: they know the ship, they change the sea. For a client with fixed dates it is a handicap.

Who she suits

Travellers flexible on dates, those who like a human-scale format with plenty of glass and light, and those returning to a ship they know. A client who insists on recently refitted spaces should look elsewhere in the class.

Our Royal Caribbean advisors confirm the exact fare, inclusions and applicable conditions before any booking, in line with Quebec consumer protection rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

From seven different embarkation ports: Fort Lauderdale (44 departures), Ravenna (27), Tampa (20) and four others, out of 108 in total. No Royal Caribbean ship in our catalogue touches as many.
She carries 2,140 at double occupancy and 2,543 maximum, with 848 crew. She is the only Radiance-class ship for which our source distinguishes the two values.
We have found no documented refurbishment since her delivery in 2002, so 24 years. Jewel of the Seas, from the same yard and the same age, went to Brest in May 2024.
She measures 292 metres, is rated at 90,090 gross tons and has 12 decks. That is the format of the whole Radiance class.
In 2002, at the Meyer Werft yard in Papenburg, Germany. She is the second ship of the Radiance class.
Yes, with 27 departures from Ravenna in our catalogue. That is her second embarkation port by volume, behind Fort Lauderdale.
By gas turbines, like the whole Radiance class. Cleaner in emissions, less economical in fuel, with documented propulsion trouble on several departures in 2023 and 2024.
Twelve decks, against 20 for an Icon-class ship. It is a human-scale format, with plenty of glass and natural light.
Less than a large ship. At 90,090 tons she moves more than a 226,838-ton unit such as Harmony of the Seas. That is worth knowing before booking.
Because she crosses the Atlantic between her seasons and touches seven ports. The advantage is the choice of regions; the drawback is a tighter booking window.
Radiance sails exclusively from Tampa, on 115 departures. Brilliance touches seven ports. If your dates are fixed, Radiance is simpler; if you want a precise region, look at Brilliance's calendar.
In about three and a half hours on a direct flight, followed by a short transfer to the pier. The transfer is never included by default.
By a flight to Bologna or Venice with at least one connection, then a ground transfer to the pier. It combines well with a few days in Italy.
Yes, particularly a couple looking for a human-scale format. At 2,140 guests at double occupancy, you are far from the 5,610 berths of an Icon of the Seas.
