Oasis Of The Seas Shatters The Mold In Cruise Ship Design, Comfort, And Amenities

Royal Caribbean likes to say "we build incredible" and I have to say I agree. The newest addition to their line of luxury cruise ships that up to now was a top secret program called "Project Genesis" is the newest in "Mega" ships Oasis of the Seas and it promises to be unlike any other ship afloat. Starting in the fall of 2009 this mega-ship, (when launched will be the largest seagoing vessel of all time) will feature "Neighborhoods", a collection of amazing experiences where entertainment areas become neighborhoods and suites become lofts.

A Cruise Ship That Challenges The Imagination

By introducing the first "Neighborhood" concept in cruising, RC is singlehandedly reinventing the cruise ship. Oasis of the Seas is not just a ship, take a look at some of the newest "experiences" on board:

Central Park - a public space that combines nature with nautical that will enchant you with it's Town Square Theme, evolving from a peaceful atmosphere during daylight hours, transformed into a dining, entertainment and street carnival atmosphere at night. Central Park is open to the sky and brings the outdoors to six decks of staterooms overlooking the park.

Royal Promenade - The heart of the ship. With a mezzanine level that overlooks the space below and adds to the overall excitement of the Promenade. It features Rising Tide, a bar that rises up and descends through three decks and enough shops and restaurants to dazzle even the most seasoned cruiser. With it's parades, nightlife and entertainment for everyone it's a destination all it's own.

Boardwalk - Featuring AquaTheater - The Boardwalk entertainment area of the ship is dedicated to family fun and nostalgia. Featuring the first ever Carousel at sea Boardwalk is all about games, amusement and attractions for the whole family. AquaTheater is a spectacular water show that will mesmerize audiences with high-diving performances and water acrobats. A sundeck to relax by during the day and a theater by night.

Loft Suites - Onboard urban living at sea with multilevel loft suites which can be combined to offer up to 2,000 square feet of living space. These new suites redefine cruise accommodations with an open, high ceiling design, contemporary furnishings in vibrant, ocean-inspired colors and breathtaking views provided by floor to ceiling windows.

A cruise ship like no other

There are not enough words to describe just how unique and exciting this ship promises to be. Come along on an adventure at sea that only a few get to realize. When launched in late 2009, Oasis of the Seas will be the largest and most revolutionary cruise ship in the world. An architectural marvel at sea, she will span 16 decks, encompass 220,000 gross registered tons, carry 5,400 passengers, and feature 2,700 staterooms. The only problem is - you might not want to get off the ship.
