Travel Notes

  • Please note:

    Arrival & Pre-Cruise Stay:

    While Radiance of the Seas departs from Tampa, Florida on December 26, 2026, the "Utopian (stress-free)" way to travel is to arrive a day early on December 25. Arriving the day before helps protect your vacation from unexpected winter travel delays and allows you to begin your cruise relaxed and ready to sail. If you plan to fly in on embarkation day, we recommend scheduling your flight to arrive no later than 3:00 PM to allow plenty of time for boarding.

    For your return home, please schedule your departure from Tampa International Airport (TPA) on January 2, 2027, no earlier than 12:00 PM. This allows ample time for disembarkation and a comfortable transfer to the airport.
