Overview

Oasis of the Seas - Oasis Family
In December 2009, Royal Caribbean International launched its latest innovative masterpiece, 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. The Oasis of the Seas cruise ship features seven distinct neighborhoods including Central Park, the Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, the Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, the Entertainment Place, and the Youth Zone. Prepare yourself to see history in the making as the Oasis 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 is 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. The Oasis of the Seas is a one-of-a-kind cruise ship; a beautiful addition to the other popular Royal Caribbean ships.
