Royal Caribbean Launches Artist Program on Star of the Seas

Royal Caribbean is set to launch its 'Artist Discovery Program' aboard the upcoming cruise ship, Star of the Seas, starting in August 2025 from Port Canaveral, Florida. This initiative will showcase emerging Caribbean artists, allowing them to exhibit their work and create large-scale murals in key areas of the ship. Artists can submit their pieces until February 15, 2025, and the program aims to celebrate Caribbean culture and connect guests with local artistry. Jay Schneider, chief product innovation officer at Royal Caribbean, expressed excitement over the program, highlighting the overwhelming response from artists during its inaugural call. Selected artists will receive grants, enabling them to realize their creative visions while traveling with Royal Caribbean. The program is expected to enrich the travel experience, making the ship a vibrant gallery of Caribbean talent.
