These cruise ships all qualify with the size limits enacted by Key West voters. Together, they were scheduled to make over 1,000 calls in the Caribbean in 2019. Several have called on Key West in the past.

Small ships are the fastest-growing sector of the cruise industry, “growing at twice the rate that every other segment in the industry is growing,” according to Richard Fain, CEO of Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Future build orders through 2024 show that 45% of all new ships coming to market will qualify to call on Key West.
