Royal Caribbean's All-Inclusive Pivot: What Loyalty Members Gain
Royal Caribbean Group just dropped $3 billion for a 50% stake in Sandals and Beaches Resorts. The deal, signed September 23, 2026, closes in early 2027. It turns the cruise giant into a genuine cruise-and-stay player with access to 17 adults-only Sandals properties across Jamaica, Antigua, Saint Lucia, The Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Curaçao, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, plus family-focused Beaches resorts in Jamaica and Turks & Caicos.
