RCCL's 'crowned anchor' logo was designed by Morits Skaugen and accepted in March (1969).Īround 55% of RCI's total revenue comes from the USA. Other suggested names for the company included 'Pleasure Cruise Line' (PCL), 'Holiday Cruise Line' (HCL), 'Crown Cruise Line' (CCL), 'Royal Caribbean Line' (RCL).

The name RCCL (initially 'Royal Caribbean Cruise Line AS) was officially accepted in 1969 (on January 31st). RCG's Managing Director for China and Asia is Zinan Liu.
