Royal Caribbean International has released its lineup of itineraries for 2017 and 2018 in the Caribbean and Canada. Departing from the Northeast, Florida and Puerto Rico, the itineraries will go on sale April 13, 2016.

This will be the first time that two Royal Caribbean ships will be sailing from Cape Liberty, serving guests in the New York area. Anthem boasts the tech-focused amenities of the Quantum-class, while Rhapsody offers an intimately-sized Vision-class experience.
