Overview

Allure of the Seas - Oasis Family
In 2010, sail aboard Royal Caribbean’s brand new Allure of the Seas, the sister ship of the Oasis of the Seas. Raising the bar yet again, this 220,000 gross ton ship is the largest in the world, offering a total of 16 decks and 2,700 cabins. Prepare yourself to see history in the making as the Allure of the Seas revolutionizes what it means to cruise by offering guests a replica of New York City’s famous Central Park. The recreational area will be a football-field long, open air oasis, full of real foliage, an array of boutiques, alfresco dining, coffee shops and bars, and seven unique dining venues. Travelers will feel that they are truly strolling through Central Park and experiencing the excitement of the “Big Apple” while floating on the vast blue ocean. Cruisers will also delight in sipping cocktails at the Rising Tide bar, the first at-sea moving bar that is an amazing architectural design and truly a sight to behold. As with all Royal Caribbean ships, this new ship is sure to receive raving reviews.
