Oasis of the Seas Set for Maiden Voyage

Set to begin its maiden voyage on December 5, Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas is ready to provide an incredible new cruising experience. The ship introduces a unique “neighborhood” concept, with seven distinctive, themed areas providing a variety of activities and entertainment:

• Central Park opens the center of the ship to the sky and features lush gardens, a central piazza, lively retail and dining options and quiet nooks for reading and relaxing.

• Boardwalk offers the classic, family-friendly fun of a seaside boardwalk and features the only carousel at sea. This neighborhood also includes the spectacular AquaTheater, which serves as a pool by day and an ocean-front theater by night.

• The Royal Promenade will buzz with shops, dining spots and nightlife venues, including a Latin dance club and a karaoke bar. Two giant glass-arched skylights, the Crystal Canopies, will provide sunlight from Central Park, located directly above.

• The Pool and Sports zone features four types of pools, two FlowRider surf simulators and the first zip-line at sea. The Solarium, with its own pool and whirlpools, is a quiet adults-only spot.

• The Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center caters to complete body wellness for all passengers. Kids and teens can revel in a dedicated spa of their own.

• Entertainment Place is the ship’s “nightclub district,” featuring the Blaze dance club, a jazz club, a comedy club, a casino and the Opal Theater, where passengers can take in the Tony Award-winning musical Hairspray.

• Youth Zone is a haven for kids and teens. Royal Caribbean’s Adventure Ocean program groups kids by age, with each group enjoying their own dedicated space for play and exploration. Teen-only spaces include a disco and lounge.

Accommodations on Oasis of the Seas are special, too. Many of the ship’s 2,706 staterooms have ocean views, and others overlook Central Park, Boardwalk or the Royal Promenade. Most unique are the ship’s 28 lofts – contemporary, two-level suites that feature floor-to-ceiling windows for stunning ocean vistas. The ship also has a variety of suite accommodations, including a Presidential Family Suite with space for 14 people.
Royal Caribbean has announced seven-night Eastern and Waster Caribbean itineraries for the inaugural year of Oasis of the Seas, sailing from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Cruises of the Eastern Caribbean begin December 12 and will include St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Nassau in the Bahamas. Beginning in May, the ship will alternate cruises of the Eastern and Western Caribbean. The Western Caribbean itinerary will include Labadee, Royal Caribbean’s private beach in Haiti; and Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico.

Many other unique features and surprises await guests on the Oasis of the Seas. To find out more about sailing on this fabulous ship, email, call or stop by and talk with one of our cruise specialist.
