RCI-Royal Caribbean International announced a second consecutive winter cruise season sailing from Bridgetown Barbados.
Rhapsody of the Seas will make her way to the island nation to offer 7- and 14-night itineraries around the Southern Caribbean from November 2022 through April 2023.

Late-night visits are planned for the ABC Islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao) plus an overnight in Oranjestad Aruba (on the 14-night itineraries). There are also calls on cities in Central and South America, such as Cartagena, Colon Panama and Puerto Limon Costa Rica.
