Trajectory
Royal Caribbean International began operations as Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines in 1968 with three ships. Later it added a third ship, which is the largest passenger ship (after Norway and Queen Elizabeth 2) to its fleet. In 1986, it leased a private destination in Haiti for its guests, called Labadee. Following the success of this move, it later added a second private destination Little Stirrup Cay, and renamed it “Coco Cay”.
The company added to its revenues by continuously adding new cruise lines to its fleet. It increased its business by merging with international cruise companies.
