Ships Ports of Call and Itinerary
The Ship
The Oasis of the Seas, scheduled to set sail in December 2009, is the largest cruise ship in the World. Limited space in our reserved block is available and the ship is otherwise sold out for the entire 2010 year
The brand new ship offers some very unique features including:
Central Park
A revolutionary public space, open to the sky and combining nature with nautical. Central Park features several
alfresco dining options and more than 300 staterooms rising six decks to overlook the park.
The Royal Promenade
The most expansive promenade at sea. For the first time a mezzanine level overlooking the space below will add to the excitement of the Royal Promenade. It features RISING TIDE, a levitating bar that ascends and desends over three deck levels, and enough shops and restaurants to entertain even the most traveled of travelers. The Royal Promenade is a destination unto itself.
Boardwalk
Dedicated to family fun and nostalgia the Boardwalk is a slice of Old World charm with a modern twist. Introducing the one-of-a-kind AquaTheatre and the first ever Carousel at Sea, Boardwalk offers enough games, amusements and attractions to keep everyone entertained. Surrounded by casual restaurants, including Johhny Rockets® and the Seafood Shack, a coffee and doughnut shop, bars, candy shop
and more, Boardwalk is a place for the entire family.
AquaTheatre
Warm sunrays and flying acrobats - it all takes place center stage at the AquaTheatre. Daytime, guests can unwind and socialize poolside. As the sun sets, loungers become theatre seating for 600 and guests trade sunblock for evening cocktails as water acrobats mesemerize audiences with high diving aerial performances. Six decks of balconies overlook the Theatre or Boardwalk and offer private views of the show.
Loft Suites Urban living has made its way onboard with multilevel lofts featuring spacious accommodations which can be combined to offer up to 2000 square feet of living space. Guests are treated to a private spa-like experience in their bathrooms, which are outfitted with rainshower heads, natural stone and glass tile accents. You'll feel pampered in your own private sanctuary at sea.
