About the Vision Class
The Vision class ships are the smallest in the Royal Caribbean fleet, carrying between 2,000 and 2,500 guests. What they lack in scale they make up for in accessibility and itinerary variety. Several Vision class ships homeport in Baltimore, making them among the most convenient departure options for travelers in the Mid-Atlantic states who want to drive to the port. Vision class ships also appear frequently on repositioning itineraries, transatlantic crossings, and specialty sailings that the larger ships do not operate.
