Royal Caribbean Celebrates Crew With Beyond BOLD Week
Royal Caribbean has launched Beyond BOLD Crew Week, a fleetwide celebration honoring the 70,000 dedicated crew members who bring every cruise to life. Running from October 24 to 30, 2025, the event is all about recognizing the people who keep operations running smoothly, day and night, across the globe.
Following the success of #BackToBold and Beyond BOLD 2023, the company has declared 2025 a “Star-Studded Year.” While new ships and record-breaking milestones are exciting, Royal Caribbean emphasizes that none of it would be possible without the commitment and hard work of its crew — the heart of the entire operation.
Throughout the week, ships across the fleet are hosting fun activities, games, and a special appreciation dinner. Crew members are also receiving two hours of complimentary daily Wi-Fi, giving them extra time to connect with family and friends or unwind on their own.
A highlight of the celebration is the Beyond BOLD video contest, where teams from each ship submitted creative videos showcasing their spirit. The top three winners earned cash prizes for Crew Welfare projects:
- 1st Place: Odyssey of the Seas – $3,500
- 2nd Place: Anthem of the Seas – $2,500
- 3rd Place: Jewel of the Seas – $1,000
The prize funds will be used to enhance life on board through recreation, wellness, and community initiatives.
Royal Caribbean described this as the third consecutive year of major achievements for the company — success made possible by every crew member across the fleet. The message is clear: while the ships capture attention in every port, it’s the crew who truly make the Royal Caribbean experience exceptional.
As Beyond BOLD Crew Week continues, the focus remains on gratitude, connection, and celebrating what crew members do best — keeping Royal Caribbean’s spirit bold, bright, and full of energy at sea.
