Set Sail with Caribbean Art: Royal Caribbean’s Artist Discovery Program

Royal Caribbean International has announced the exciting return of its "Artist Discovery Program," a bold initiative that brings Caribbean art to a global audience. With the launch of the new Star of the Seas ship in August 2025, the cruise line is inviting Caribbean artists to showcase their work onboard, offering them a unique platform to display their talents in one of the world’s most innovative and luxurious travel spaces.

A Platform for Caribbean Creatives

The Artist Discovery Program is designed to celebrate the vibrant, diverse, and creative spirit of the Caribbean. By inviting artists from across the region, the program aims to create an immersive cultural experience for passengers while providing artists with international exposure. The ship will feature four mural pieces, transforming its corridors, dining rooms, lounges, and other public spaces into showcases of the rich cultural heritage that defines the Caribbean.

This initiative allows Caribbean artists to break the boundaries of traditional gallery settings, connecting their work with an audience of thousands of people from all over the world.

Empowering Caribbean Artists

Royal Caribbean’s decision to spotlight local talent highlights the company’s commitment to the regions it sails through. By supporting artists from the Caribbean, the cruise line aims to bring attention to the diverse stories and perspectives that make the region unique. The program seeks to elevate the voices of both emerging and established artists, providing them with the resources and opportunities needed to grow their careers and gain visibility in international markets.

Through this collaboration, the cruise line is not only offering artists a professional platform but also encouraging the preservation and celebration of Caribbean traditions. Many of the artists featured in the program will bring with them themes of history, identity, nature, and culture that resonate with the Caribbean’s deep roots.

Local artists across the Caribbean can send their submissions starting today through February 15th. For more information, please visit the following link: Artist Discovery Program.
