<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This prospectus is part of an "automatic shelf" registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as
a "well-known seasoned issuer" as defined in Rule&nbsp;405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), utilizing a "shelf" registration process for the delayed offering and
sale of securities pursuant to Rule&nbsp;415 under the Securities Act. Under this shelf registration process, we and the selling shareholders may offer and sell, from time to time, any combination
of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This prospectus only provides you with a general description of the securities we and/or the selling shareholders may offer. If
required by applicable law, each time we or one or more selling shareholders sell securities under this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that will contain
specific information about the terms of the offering, including the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities offered. We may also add, update or change in a prospectus supplement any
information contained in this prospectus. To the extent any statement made in a prospectus supplement or a document incorporated by reference herein after the date hereof is inconsistent with the
statements made in this prospectus, the statements made in this prospectus will be deemed modified or superseded by those made in the prospectus supplement or the incorporated
document. You should carefully read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with the additional information incorporated herein and therein described under the heading "Where You
Can Find More Information" before you make any investment decision. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You
should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, in any accompanying prospectus supplement or in any free writing prospectus filed by
us with the SEC. Neither we nor the selling shareholders have authorized anyone to provide you with any different information. We are not making offers to sell these securities in any jurisdiction
where the offer is not permitted. The information in this prospectus is accurate as of the date on the front cover. You should not assume that the information contained in or incorporated by reference
in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement or in any free writing prospectus is accurate as of any date other than their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects may have changed since the date of this prospectus or of any prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or document incorporated by reference. </FONT></P>

otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a Liberian corporation. Certain of our directors and controlling persons are residents of jurisdictions other than the United States, and
all or a substantial portion of their assets and a significant portion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to serve process within the
United States upon us or those persons or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts based upon civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United
States. We have been advised by the law firm of Watson Farley&nbsp;&amp; Williams&nbsp;LLP (as to Liberian law), that, both in original actions and in actions for the
enforcement of judgments of United States courts, there is doubt as to whether civil liabilities based solely upon the United States federal securities laws are enforceable in Liberia. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are the world's second largest cruise company. We own and operate three global cruise brands: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity
Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises. We also own a 50% joint venture interest in the German brand TUI Cruises, a 49% interest in the Spanish brand Pullmantur and a 36% interest in the Chinese brand
SkySea Cruises. Together, these six brands operate a combined total of 49 ships in the cruise vacation industry with an aggregate capacity of approximately 124,070 berths as of December&nbsp;31,
2017. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
ships operate on a selection of worldwide itineraries that call on approximately 540 destinations on all seven continents. In addition to our headquarters in Miami, Florida, we have
offices and a network of international representatives around the world which primarily focus on sales and market development. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
compete principally by establishing valued brands that offer exceptional service provided by our crew and on the basis of innovation and quality of ships, variety of itineraries,
choice of destinations and price. We believe that our commitment to build state-of-the-art ships and to invest in the maintenance and upgrade of our fleet to, among other things, incorporate our
latest signature innovations, allows us to continue to attract new and loyal repeat guests. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
believe cruising continues to be a popular vacation choice due to its inherent value, extensive itineraries and variety of shipboard and shoreside activities. In addition, our brands
are well-positioned globally and possess the ability to attract a wide range of guests by appealing to multiple customer bases allowing our global sourcing to be well diversified. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Royal
Caribbean International was founded in 1968. The current parent corporation, Royal Caribbean Cruises&nbsp;Ltd., was incorporated on July&nbsp;23, 1985 in the Republic of
Liberia under the Business Corporation Act of Liberia (the "Business Corporation Act"). Our principal executive office is located
at 1050 Caribbean Way, Miami, Florida 33132. Our telephone number at that address is (305)&nbsp;539-6000. We maintain internet websites at </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>www.royalcaribbean.com</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, </FONT><FONT

interest expense, capitalized interest, amortization of deferred financing expenses and an amount equivalent to interest included in rental charges. For the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2014 and
2013 we have included actual interest charges for the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Brilliance of the Seas</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> operating lease and, for all other rentals, we have assumed that one-third

determined for purposes of Section&nbsp;883(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, shares that give such person in the

way that alters certain rights of any of our shareholders, those shareholders have the right to dissent and receive payment for their shares. The dissenting shareholders may not receive that payment
unless they follow the procedures set forth in the Business Corporation Act. Those procedures require that if we cannot agree with our dissenting shareholders on a price for the shares, we shall
institute a special proceeding in the circuit court in the judicial circuit in
Liberia in which our Liberian office is located; but in the case of a merger, consolidation, re-domiciliation or reregistration where the offering entity is a foreign entity without an office in
Liberia, proceedings shall be brought in the country where the office of the Liberian corporation, whose shares are to be valued, was located. The value of the shares of any dissenting shareholder is
fixed by the court after reference, if the court so elects, to the recommendations of a court-appointed appraiser. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The material terms of any series of preferred stock that we offer though a prospectus supplement will be described in that prospectus
supplement. Our board of directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of preferred stock in one or more series with designations as may be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for
the issue of such preferred stock. At the time that any series of our preferred stock is authorized, our board of directors will fix the dividend rights, any conversion rights, any voting rights,
redemption provisions, liquidation preferences and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of that series, as well as the number of shares constituting that series and their
designation. Our board of directors could, without shareholder approval, cause us to issue preferred stock which has voting, conversion and other rights that could adversely affect the holders of our
common stock or make it more difficult to effect a change in control. Our preferred stock could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of us and thereby hinder a
possible takeover attempt which, if our shareholders were offered a premium over the market value of their shares, might be viewed as being beneficial to our shareholders. In addition, our preferred
stock could be issued with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences which would adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following summarizes some of the general terms and conditions of the debt securities that we may issue under this prospectus. Each time we
issue debt securities under this prospectus, we will file&nbsp;a prospectus supplement with the SEC. The prospectus supplement may contain additional terms of those debt securities. The terms
presented here, together with the terms contained in the prospectus supplement, will be a description of the material terms of the debt securities, but if there is any inconsistency between the terms
presented here and those in the prospectus supplement, those in the prospectus supplement will apply and will replace those presented here. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will issue the debt securities under an indenture dated as of July&nbsp;31, 2006 between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (f/k/a The Bank of New York Trust
Company, N.A.), as trustee. We will issue each series of debt securities under the terms of a supplemental indenture or an officers' certificate delivered under the authority of resolutions adopted by
our board of directors and the indenture. The terms of any debt securities will include those stated in the indenture and those
made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The debt securities will be subject to all those terms, and we refer the holders of debt securities to the indenture, which
was filed as an exhibit to our Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-3, file no.&nbsp;333-158161, and is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a
part, and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of those terms. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following summaries of various provisions of the indenture and the debt securities are not complete. Unless we indicate otherwise, capitalized terms have the meanings given to them
in the indenture. All section references below are to sections of the indenture. </FONT></P>

General  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The debt securities will be unsecured unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsubordinated debt and will be
effectively junior to our future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. The indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may
issue, and we may issue debt securities periodically in series. In addition, the indenture does not limit the ability of our subsidiaries to incur debt other than secured debt. Any debt incurred by
our subsidiaries ranks structurally senior to any debt incurred by us with respect to the assets of the subsidiary borrower (unless that subsidiary issues a subsidiary guarantee). We do not have to
issue all the debt securities of one series at the same time and, unless we otherwise specify in a prospectus supplement, we may reopen a series to issue more debt securities of that series without
the consent of any holder of debt securities, including the holder of such series. (Sections&nbsp;301 and 303) The indenture provides that more than one trustee may be appointed under the indenture
to act on behalf of the holders of the different series of debt securities. </FONT></P>

Denominations, Interest, Registration and Transfer  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue the debt securities of any series in denominations of $1,000
and integral multiples of $1,000. (Section&nbsp;302) </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless
we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will pay the principal of and any premium and interest on any series of debt securities at the corporate trust
office of the trustee, currently located at 10161 Centurion Parkway, Jacksonville, FL 32256. However, we may pay interest by check mailed to the address in the security register of the person entitled
to that interest or by wire transfer of funds to that person's United States bank account. (Sections&nbsp;307 and 1002) </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
interest on a debt security that we do not punctually pay or provide for on an interest payment date will after that date not be payable to the holder on the related regular record
date. Instead, that interest may either be paid to the person in whose name that debt security is registered at the close of business on a special record date designated by the trustee or be paid at
any time in any other lawful manner as described in the indenture. If the trustee establishes a special record date, it will notify the holder of that date not less than 10&nbsp;days prior to that
date. (Section&nbsp;307) </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject
to some limitations imposed on debt securities issued in book-entry form, a holder may exchange debt securities of any series for other debt securities of that series as long as
the newly issued debt securities are issued in the same aggregate principal amount as the debt securities being exchanged and in an authorized denomination. The holder must surrender the debt
securities to be exchanged at the corporate trust office of the trustee. In addition, subject to some limitations imposed on debt securities issued in book-entry form, a holder may surrender for
conversion, if convertible, or register for transfer the debt securities of any series at the corporate trust office of the trustee. Every debt security surrendered for conversion or registration of
transfer or exchange must be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer. We will not impose a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange of any debt securities, but
we may require payment of an amount that will cover any tax or other governmental charge payable as a result of the transfer or exchange. (Section&nbsp;305) If we designate a transfer agent for any
series of debt securities, we may rescind that designation at any time. We may also approve a new location for that transfer agent to act, provided that we maintain a transfer agent in each place of
payment for that series of debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents for any series of debt securities. (Section&nbsp;1002) </FONT></P>

assume with a selling shareholder. A selling shareholder may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver the shares of
common stock offered by this prospectus to close out short positions. A selling shareholder may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that
require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may
resell pursuant to this prospectus, as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction. A selling shareholder may also from time to time pledge our securities pursuant to the margin provisions of

supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction. </FONT></P>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We have acted as special counsel as to matters of Liberian law to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., a Liberian corporation (the &#147;<u>Company</u>&#148;), and in such capacity we have assisted in the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;<u>Securities Act</u>&#148;), of a Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-3 (the &#147;<u>Registration Statement</u>&#148;) in respect of the contemplated issuance by the Company from time to time of (i)&nbsp;senior debt securities, which may be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the &#147;<u>Indenture</u>&#148;) dated as of July&nbsp;31, 2006, as amended, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
