Join other Louisiana families on Gr8escape26, a 4-night hosted group cruise aboard Royal Caribbean®’s brand-new Utopia of the Seas® sailing from Port Canaveral, Florida, May 25–29, 2026. This is more than just a vacation—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience for students graduating from K–8 schools across Ascension Parish, Baton Rouge, and surrounding areas.
With so many feeder schools in the area, consider this the ultimate high-school ice breaker, giving kids the opportunity to connect with future classmates and enjoy epic adventures with their friends one last time before high school starts.
The final group hotel location will depend on the preferences of our travelers. I am here to help you find the best fit for your travel plans, regardless of which option you choose.
Start the trip with a bang at our Sail Away Celebration — hosted in a private lounge just for our group (yes, it’s a complimentary group perk!) or let’s take over part of the open-air deck and vibe with the sea breeze. The ship departs at 4:00 PM.
