• August 20, 2024

Royal Caribbean International’s Star of the Seas will offer an array of vacation experiences from Port Canaveral, Florida, when it debuts in August 2025, the company announced in a press release.

The ship will feature attractions such as the fastest and tallest waterslides, over 40 dining and drinking options and unique adventures at destinations like Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas. 

Highlights include the Lincoln Park Supper Club, a 1930s Chicago-inspired dining experience, the Category 6 waterpark, seven pools and the adults-only Hideaway with a suspended infinity pool.

“Star of the Seas is the second bold act of this exciting, new era of vacations first introduced with Icon of the Seas, and it’s putting the world’s best vacation on the map at yet another top travel destination,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. 

“Between Miami and Port Canaveral (Orlando), more adventurers than ever can set their sights on the only vacation that combines the best of all vacations – from the beach retreat to the resort escape and the theme park adventure – with experiences that have and will continue to make headlines and memories for years to come.”

The Star of the Seas will have eight unique neighborhoods with the company highlighting the following five in a news announcement:

• Thrill Island: Features the Category 6 waterpark with six waterslides, the Crown’s Edge skywalk and thrill ride, the FlowRider surf simulator and mini golf.
• Chill Island: A three-deck area with four pools, including the largest pool at sea, Royal Bay, and the swim-up bar Swim & Tonic.
• Surfside: A family-friendly neighborhood with water play areas for kids along with dining options like Surfside Eatery and The Lemon Post bar.
• AquaDome: Featuring ocean views, the AquaTheater brings shows with high divers, aerialists, robots, dancers and more, as well as dining options at the AquaDome Market and The Overlook bar.
• The Hideaway: An adults-only beach club scene 135 feet above the ocean, with a suspended infinity pool, DJ, bar and whirlpools.

The Star of the Seas will also feature reimagined favorites, including the Royal Promenade with ocean views, the world’s largest kinetic art sculpture and 15+ dining and entertainment options. The ship also features an exclusive Suite Neighborhood.

The Star will join the newly-launched Utopia of the Seas in Port Canaveral, offering guests options for weeklong Caribbean cruises or shorter three- or four-night Bahamas getaways. Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in The Bahamas will debut in late 2025, expanding Royal Caribbean’s destination experiences.

Local Time 2024-08-23 11:46

Port Santa Cruz de Tenerife cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is Canary Islands' largest cruise port and principal homeport (for roundtrip itineraries). Tenerife Island is largest in the Canaries, located approx 300 km (190 mi) from North Africa’s coast. The island has total area approx 2034 km2 (785 mi2) and population around 890,000, which is ~43% of Canaries' total population.

As cruise port, Tenerife is also ranked Spain's second busiest - after Barcelona , handling nearly 1 million cruise ship passengers annually. Tenerife Island is visited by around 5 million tourists annually, making it archipelago's most visited. The island is served by two airports - Tenerife South (aka Reina Sofia) and Tenerife North (aka Los Rodeos).

One of cruise port's busiest days was September 26, 1993, when over 45,000 tourists came to Michael Jackson‘s concert (part of the "Dangerous World Tour"). The port has capacity to accommodate the world’s largest passenger ships of Royal Caribbean 's Oasis-class (LOA length 362 m, max capacity 6780 passengers plus 2400 crew).

In 2016 was inaugurated the new cruise terminal. There are plans for developing LNG bunkering capabilities (liquefied natural gas fueling for LNG-powered cruise liners) via truck and barge. In 2016-2017 season were handled nearly 618,000 passengers. For winter season 2017-2018, here were homeported AIDAblu and AIDAprima ( AIDA Cruises ), TUI Discovery and Thomson Dream ( Marella Cruises ) and Pullmantur Horizon . For season 2018-2019, in Tenerife were homeported Marella Dream, AIDAnova , Pullmantur Zenith .

In early-December 2018, Carnival Corporation announced a concession agreement with the port authority company to become the operator of Tenerife cruise terminal - currently Canary Islands' newest and largest. Following the terminal operation deal, the first Carnival Corporation-owned vessel docking here was AIDAnova (December 12). Of all the nine Carnival Corp brands, 7 were scheduled to visit Tenerife - AIDA , Cunard , Costa , Holland America , P&O UK , Princess and Seabourn . Port Tenerife is the 8th Carnival-operated cruise terminal - joining the seaports Barcelona (Spain), Savona (Italy), Amber Cove (Dominicana), Puerta Maya ( Cozumel, Mexico ), Grand Turk Island , Mahogany Bay ( Isla Roatan, Honduras ) and Long Beach (California USA).

The seaport is managed by Autoridad Portuaria de Santa Cruz de Tenerife (port authority company). The cruise port is located just 10 km (6 mi) from Tenerife North Airport and approx 60 km (37 mi) from Tenerife South Airport. The city's bus service is excellent, and it is also easy to pick a taxi almost everywhere.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the island's main city and also the capital (shared with Las Palmas ) of Canary Islands - an autonomous territory of Spain. In the period 1833-1927, Santa Cruz de Tenerife was Canaries' sole capital. La Laguna University (in San Cristobal) is the archipelago's oldest (founded in 1792).

Teide National Park (World Heritage Site) is in the center of Tenerife Island and has Spain's highest elevation point (Mt Teide - 3718 m / 12198 ft), which is also the highest of all Atlantic Ocean islands. In 2015, Macizo de Anaga mountain (northeastern Tenerife Island) was designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, having Europe's largest number of endemic species.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife cruise terminal

Port Tenerife (Puerto de Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is one of world's deepest natural harbour ports. It is located on island's northeastern coast, with Anaga Mountains surrounding the seaport. Free shuttle bus service for cruise ship tourists is provided by the port authority. It links the cruise terminal with downtown (Plaza de Espana). Pierside taxis are also available. Downtown is less than 1 km away.

The 2016-inaugurated cruise terminal has berth length 395 m (1296 ft) and depth / max draught 10 m (33 ft). Terminal's building is Canaries' largest (sized 8473 m2 / 91200 ft2) and has huge check-in hall (with 50 desks), large waiting hall, large parking (for buses) and taxi ranks . The cruise terminal is served by two gangways (mobile passenger bridges).

When should I arrive at the port terminal to board my cruise ship?

Guests should arrive at the terminal within the arrival time slot you selected during Royal App check-in. Your arrival time is listed on your mobile boarding pass. Those who arrive early will not be able to begin boarding, and those who arrive late will need to wait until we are able to work them into another group.

Due to government regulations requiring cruise lines to submit final departure manifests at least 60 minutes prior to sailing, guests are requested to complete Check-in no later than 3 days prior to their cruise. If you do not complete Check-in 3 days prior, you will be required to complete this process at the pier at least  two   hours  prior to the published sailing time.  Please note:  All guests must be checked-in and onboard the ship no later than 90 minutes prior to the published sailing time or you will not be permitted to sail.

If you choose to fly ChoiceAir, Royal Caribbean automatically displays only the airline schedules that will enable you to meet your cruise. For your return home, you have the ability to select the flight that best suits your schedule. Depending on your disembarkation time and port, the time needed to arrive at the airport will vary.
