The line’s agreement with French shipyard Chantiers de l’Atlantique is dependent upon financing, which is expected to be completed in the second or third quarter of this year.
Richard Fain, RCCL chairman and chief executive, said: “It is such a pleasure to announce the order of another Oasis-class ship.
"This order is a reflection of the exceptional performance of this vessel class and the extraordinary partnership between Chantiers de l’Atlantique and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.”
Laurent Castaing, general manager, Chantiers de l’Atlantique, added: "This is the twenty-third cruise ship that RCCL will be building at our shipyard, and we are especially proud of it.”
