Vision of the Seas: 33 departures from Baltimore, the one drivable port outside New York

Four Royal Caribbean ships out of thirty sail from a port a Montrealer can reach by car. Three board in New York; Vision of the Seas is the fourth, and she boards in Baltimore, where she has been based since May 2023.

Baltimore sits about nine hours by road from Montreal, against six to seven for New York. That is longer, but it remains a day's drive, with no airport, no connection and no luggage to collect from a carousel.

Ninety departures, two programmes

Our 90 departures on Vision split between San Juan, Puerto Rico (48), and Baltimore (33). The first opens the eastern Caribbean, the second the American east coast and Bermuda depending on the season.

A client can therefore choose between flying to San Juan, in about five hours, or driving to Baltimore. Same ship, same stateroom configuration, two ways of leaving. That is a comparison you can make on a single page.

Ten decks, no ship in the fleet has fewer

Vision has 10 decks. Of the 30 Royal Caribbean ships in service, none has fewer: Grandeur of the Seas has 11, the Icon class has 20.

Ten decks over 279 metres means a ship crossed in a few minutes, demanding no stateroom placement strategy at all. On a 362-metre ship the position relative to the lifts decides tens of minutes of walking per week; here the question does not arise.

The measurements

Delivered in 1998, Vision measures 279 metres, is rated at 78,491 gross tons and carries 765 crew. Maximum capacity reaches 2,416 guests.

Her double-occupancy capacity is not published by a source we consider reliable, and we do not deduce it. For comparison, Rhapsody of the Seas, of the same class and delivered a year earlier, carries 2,040 guests at double occupancy. Her last documented refit dates from 2013.

Thirteen years since the last dry dock

That is a long time, and we say so. In the Vision class, Rhapsody of the Seas went to Cadiz at the end of 2019 and Grandeur of the Seas in May 2012. Vision sits between the two, closer to the latter.

A 78,491-ton hull also moves more than a 236,857-ton unit such as Wonder of the Seas. A traveller prone to seasickness should take that into account, particularly on a crossing to Bermuda outside the summer.

Thirty years between the company's hulls

Vision dates from 1998, Legend of the Seas from 2026. Inside a single brand, a client can board a 10-deck ship or a 20-deck one. That is why naming the company describes almost nothing about the trip.

Who she suits

Travellers who refuse to fly and accept nine hours on the road, couples looking for a human-scale ship, and those who want Bermuda or the east coast without passing through an airport. A client who insists on recent spaces should look elsewhere.

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