Royal Caribbean International has partnered with Priceline to launch a new hotel booking engine, Royal Caribbean Hotels.

Intended to provide travelers and travel advisors an easier way to book pre- or post-cruise lodging, the platform promises exclusive rates at hotels located near Royal Caribbean departure and arrival ports around the world, including in the Caribbean, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas.

Royal Caribbean passengers and their advisors can also use the booking engine to view hotel options that have been filtered based on date, number of travelers in their group and their sailing’s departure or arrival city, as well as their preferred hotel rating, desired amenities and more.

Properties available on the platform include the Mandarin Oriental Miami, the Four Seasons Hotel Seattle and the Serras Hotel Barcelona. 

The Royal Caribbean Hotels engine is currently active for travelers and advisors in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Advisors also can access the engine via Royal Caribbean’s Cruising Power platform. 

The Royal Caribbean Hotels launch follows sister brand Celebrity Cruises’ recent debut of a similar Priceline-powered hotel booking engine, Hotels by Celebrity.
