Oasis Of The Seas Wiki

Oasis OTS is Royal Caribbean's first Oasis-Class liner, with sisterships Allure , Harmony , Symphony and Wonder . Oasis-class currently represents the world's biggest passenger ship design, however, Oasis OTS happened to be the smallest in this series - although with just 50 mm (~2 inches) shorter than Allure. There was a competition for proposing the best name for the hulls of both vessels. The sister hulls were named at a dual ceremony in May 2008.

The vessel was completed on October 28, 2009, by STX Europe (Finland) - a division of the South Korean multinational STX (shipbuilding corporation). At its arrival in the USA, right before it docked at homeport Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale) , the vessel had to pass under the Danish bridge Great Belt Fixed Link. This was challenging as the bridge is 65 m (213 ft) higher than sea level while ship's highest point is normally 72 m (236 ft) above sea level. But it made it - due to its telescoping funnels, with only 0,6 m 2 ft) to spare when passing under the bridge!

The cruise liner has an impressive number of 7 godmothers. Each of the "good ladies" symbolized one of the ship's 7 different neighbourhoods. The naming ceremony took place at Port Everglade, on December 5, 2009.

On November 4, 2016, world's 3 largest cruise ships - Harmony, Allure and Oasis - convened off Florida's coast. The unique event was live streamed officially by RCI, starting at approx 5 pm EST. The meeting at open sea coincided with the Harmony's arrival at Port Everglades (her US homeport), finishing a 13-night Transatlantic repositioning cruise from Barcelona to Florida (Oct 23 - Nov 5). The following aerial photo shows an Oasis-class vessel (as looked from above).

Oasis OTS refurbishment 2019 review (Royal Amplified)

Ship's Royal Amplified drydock refurb is scheduled for 2019 (September 22 - November 23) and budgeted USD 165 million (EUR 150M). By this 63-day long drydocking project (at Navantia Shipyard in Cadiz Spain ) many new venues will be added, including some fleet-firsts.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship: Oasis of the Seas

jimfeng / Getty Images 

The Oasis of the Seas is one of a class of  Royal Caribbean International  cruise ships which are the world's largest passenger ships. Oasis is huge, absolutely beautiful, and the innovative neighborhood concept provides a marvelous atmosphere for cruisers. Oasis of the Seas was the first ship to tout the neighborhood concept of seven distinct themed areas, including Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place, and the Youth Zone.

Some travelers might have some trepidation about this large ship, but once cruisers walk around the ship, and get their first looks at the areas like the Boardwalk, Central Park, and the Pool and Sports Zone, they will understand how the neighborhood concept makes things feel smaller and more friendly. However, with so much onboard variety, travelers will need a week's cruise (or more) to thoroughly experience all the Oasis of the Seas offers.

Ship Facts and Stats

Baldwin040 / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY 2.0

The 225,000-GRT (Gross Registered Tonnage) Oasis of the Seas is one of the world's largest cruise ships, carrying 5,400 guests in double occupancy, and 6,296 when full.

The ship has a 2,165 crew from over 70 countries onboard. Oasis of the Seas has a 30-foot draft, towers 213 feet above the water, and is 1,184 feet long and 208 feet wide. Such a huge ship is bound to have equally impressive amenities and activities including the first living park at sea, the first-ever elevating bar at sea, and a rock-climbing wall towering 40 feet above the deck. 

Central Park

Courtesy of Royal Caribbean International

The Oasis of the Seas Central Park is an open-air park, the first living park at sea, found mid-ship on deck 8. With no sea view and surrounded on all sides by the ship, you could easily be in any city park. This living park has 12,175 plants, 62 vine plants, 56 trees and some bamboo over 24 feet high. The greenery and shade make it a pleasant place to sit outside and have a drink or dine alfresco. Central Park is mostly geared towards adults. It has six restaurants and bars, including the ship's most upscale restaurant, 150 Central Park, and Royal Caribbean passenger favorite Chops Grille. Other restaurants at the Oasis Central Park include the casual Italian trattoria, Giovanni's Table and the indoor/outdoor gourmet market, Park Cafe.

The Oasis of the Seas Boardwalk feels like a traditional seaside pier and is a fun family neighborhood. Found on deck 6, the Boardwalk is flanked on one end by Dazzles Bar and on the other by the AquaTheater , rock climbing walls, and the sea. Cabins line both sides of the Boardwalk, and those near the stern can see both the sea and the fun on the Boardwalk and in the AquaTheater.

The zip line is 82 feet long and is nine decks above the Boardwalk.

Other than the AquaTheater, the most striking feature of the Boardwalk is the large, handmade carousel. The music and menagerie of animals circling the carousel certainly give the Boardwalk an authentic feel. The eateries reflect the casual seaside atmosphere: Johnny Rockets, the Seafood Shack, donut shop, Boardwalk Bar, and ice cream parlor.

Royal Promenade

The Oasis of the Seas Royal Promenade is an expanded and enhanced version of the Royal Promenade on Royal Caribbean's Voyager and Freedom-class ships. It's the first area passengers see when boarding the ship since it serves as the entry point for embarkation. Located on deck 5 underneath Central Park, the Royal Promenade is three decks high and features large skylights that allow light into the area. Much like a mall, the Royal Promenade is lined with eight retail shops and nine restaurants and bars . The most innovative bar is appropriately called The Rising Tide Bar. The first-ever moving bar at sea, it carries 32 people and works as an "elevator bar," moving slowly up and down as it links Central Park and the Royal Promenade.

Pool and Sports Zone

The Pool and Sports Zone stretches the length of the Oasis of the Seas on decks 15 and 16. It's a terrific outdoor playground. The jogging track measures 2.4 laps to the mile.

Four distinctly different pools and several whirlpools provide plenty of space for water fun. The Beach Pool has a sloped entry allowing guests to wade into the pool. The Main Pool is surrounded by sun lounges and is flanked by two whirlpools. The H2O Zone is a signature Royal Caribbean family water park, and the Sports Pool is restricted to lap swimmers in the morning and team water sports in the afternoon. 

The signature Rock Climbing Wall lets you climb 40 feet above the deck. The Pool and Sports Zone has10 restaurants and bars. 

A favorite of adult guests is the adults-only, two-deck Solarium, a gorgeous, peaceful area in the forward part of the ship.

Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center

Courtesy of Royal Caribbean International 

The Vitality Spa and Fitness Center is found forward on deck 6. The spa features a Thermal Suite with heated tile lounges and steam rooms and 29 treatment rooms. It also includes calming relaxation rooms. Teens and kids even have a spa area of their own. The Fitness Center has 158 fitness machines, including cardio and resistance equipment. Guests can work out alone or join in on one of several classes such as spinning, kickboxing, Pilates, or yoga. The Vitality Cafe offers healthy snacks, sandwiches, wraps, fruit, and smoothies.

Entertainment Place

Entertainment Place is the hub for Oasis of the Seas nightlife. Occupying all of deck 4, it is easily accessed from the Royal Promenade. Entertainment Place includes the Casino Royale, the Opal Theater, Studio B, Comedy Place, Jazz on 4, and the Blaze Nightclub. The Opal Theater features Broadway plays, specialty acts, and entertainment headliners. You can see a show like CATS , an ice skating extravaganza or high flying acrobatic feats. Cruisers can book free tickets for all the shows in advance of their cruise.

The Youth Zone covers over 28,000 square feet on the Oasis of the Seas. The Adventure Ocean area for kids ages 6 months to 12 years old is found on deck 14, and the Youth Zone Teen area is on deck 15. Adventure Ocean features four different age group areas: Royal Babies and Tots (6 months to 3 years), Aquanauts (3 to 5 years), Explorers (6 to 8 years), and Voyagers (9 to 11 years). Each distinct area has counselors and age-appropriate activities. In addition to the Adventure Ocean age-group areas, space includes a Workshop for family activities, Imagination Studio, the Adventure Ocean Theater, Play Area, and a Science Lab. Teens will love the themed dance parties and special activities like pool parties and casino nights. 

Cabins and Suites

Courtesy of Royal Caribbean International 

Oasis of the Seas features a whopping 2,706 cabins and suites. Almost 2,000 have balconies that overlook the ocean to catch the breeze, Central Park, or the Boardwalk. Oasis has 37 different categories of cabins and suites, so there is certainly an accommodation to suit everyone's tastes and pocketbooks.

The 28 loft suites high on deck 17 are a first for the cruise industry, with two levels and floor-to-ceiling windows. Like all the Oasis staterooms, these suites are contemporary and chic. Popular are the AquaTheater Suites, with huge balconies that overlook the Boardwalk, AquaTheater, and the sea. Families can bunk together in the numerous types of family cabins and suites, which sleep up to six.

Dining Options

Courtesy of Royal Caribbean International

Oasis of the Seas passengers will not be disappointed by the 24 distinct dining options scattered around the ship, many of which are included in the cruise fare while others have a surcharge. Many cuisines are covered, so passengers can eat All-American favorites one day and then enjoy Italian, Asian, or seafood the next. In addition to the various cuisines, the ambiance ranges from casual to chic and elegant.

Guests can grab a quick bite at the Windjammers buffet, enjoy a traditional restaurant at the Opus Dining Room, or have a special meal at 150 Central Park, Chops Grille, or the Chef's Table. Much like the shows, cruisers can book a table in any of the specialty restaurants prior to their cruise.

A passenger has died after jumping from the world’s largest cruise ship on the first night of his week-long voyage, officials said.

The unidentified man jumped from Royal Caribbean’s new 1,200-foot-long Icon of the Seas — which holds 7,600 passengers and 2,350 crew members — soon after it left Florida for Honduras on Sunday morning, the Coast Guard told The Post.

“The cruise ship deployed one of their rescue boats, located the man and brought him back aboard,” the Coast Guard said.

“He was pronounced deceased. Beyond assisting in the search, the US Coast Guard did not have much involvement in this incident,” the agency added.

Royal Caribbean told The Post: “The ship’s crew immediately notified the U.S. Coast Guard and launched a search and rescue operation.

“Our Care Team is actively providing support and assistance to the guest’s loved ones during this difficult time.”

According to CruiseHive , the ship was only about 300 miles from Port Miami at the time of the incident.

The ship stopped for about two hours while members of the crew helped the Coast Guard accomplish its search and rescue mission.

The jumper was brought back onboard in critical condition before he succumbed to his injuries, the report said.

Guests aboard the ship have shared videos about the rescue mission, some expressing shock that the man was initially found alive.

Others shared clips of the rescue boats heading away from the ship to retrieve the passenger.

The Icon of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship , took its maiden voyage in January this year.

The ship has 20 decks and is nearly the size of four city blocks.

It boasts a 17,000-square-foot water park with six waterslides and seven pools — including the 40,000-gallon Royal Bay, which is the largest pool at sea — and Absolute Zero, the largest ice skating rink at sea.

There are also a theater, a carousel and more than 40 restaurants, bars and lounges aboard.

Man dies after jumping from Icon of the Seas, world's largest cruise ship

May 28 (UPI) -- A passenger died Sunday morning after jumping from the world's largest cruise ship after the liner pulled out of its Florida port for a trip to Honduras, the Coast Guard said.

The man, who remains unidentified, was a passenger on the Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas. The ship was setting out to go on a weeklong cruise when the incident happened.

"Guests sailing on the brand-new ship were enjoying a day at sea when the man went overboard," Royal Caribbean said in a statement .

"According to online reports, Icon of the Seas was sailing to its first port of call, Roatan (Honduras), when the man went overboard. The ship was reportedly sailing north of Cuba when the man plunged into the Gulf of Mexico, around 300 miles from Miami."

The travel was paused for about 2 hours until rescue crews found the man who went overboard.

The Icon of the Seas carries a maximum of 7,600 passengers and houses a crew of 2,350.

"Our care team is actively providing support and assistance to the guest's loved ones during this difficult time," Royal Caribbean told the website CruiseHive . "For the privacy of the guest and their family, we have no additional details to share."

Interior View: Royal Caribbean International’s Utopia of the Seas

CFI discovers what passengers can look forward to on the latest Oasis-class ship when it launches this summer 

Royal Caribbean International

By Laura Hyde | 29 May 2024

Debuting in July 2024 from Port Canaveral in Florida, Utopia of the Seas is the latest ship to join the Royal Caribbean International fleet. The newest Oasis-class ship, which is currently under construction at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, will offer three-and four-night cruises to Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in The Bahamas. 

Utopia of the Seas will offer passengers more than 20 types of accommodation, including staterooms and suites designed to suit families or groups of up to three, four, five and more. Highlights include the Royal Loft Suite, Ultimate Family Suite and the new Solarium Suites, a new category of accommodation. The Solarium Suites have been placed high up at the front of the ship to provide panoramic views for guests. They also offer a living and dining area, the VIP Royal Suite Class experience and other exclusive amenities. 

The new Solarium Suites will be located high up at the front of the ship to provide panoramic views

The more than 20 dining options onboard Utopia of the Seas will give guests the chance to sample cuisine from around the world during their cruise. A new immersive dining experience, the Royal Railway, has been designed to resemble the interior of a train and will ‘transport’ travellers to different places and eras, taking them on a multi-course culinary journey that combines adventure, food and technology. Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar has been reimagined to span two storeys and include a new outside terrace, Gio’s Terrazza, which will overlook the Boardwalk. 

While on the pool deck, guests can dine on Mexican street food at El Loco Fresh and Cantina Fresca or enjoy quick, casual bites from the ship’s new poolside food truck concept. Longtime guest favourite Sprinkles ice cream parlour will feature a new bar with different sprinkle toppings and a choice of three ice cream flavours. 

The ship also features more than 20 bars and entertainment venues, two casinos with more than 370 slot machines and almost 30 table games, and five live music venues, including Spotlight Karaoke, Music Hall, the classic piano Schooner Bar, and Latin hotspot Boleros. The Pesky Parrot is a new Caribbean tiki bar on the Royal Promenade which will serve fruit-based cocktails, frozen drinks and more. 

The AquaTheater will feature all-star divers performing high diving, slacklining and acrobatics into the deepest pool at sea. World-class figure skaters will entertain at Studio B, and Broadway-style theatrical productions will be performed at the Royal Theater. 

Northern Ireland-based MJM Marine has outfitted multiple public spaces onboard the ship. “We’ll be transforming multiple key public spaces onboard, delivering a vibrant Playscape area, a mouthwatering Food Truck concept, a lively Pesky Parrot bar, a Starbucks haven, and an out-of-this-world immersive dining experience, designed to transport travellers on a multi-course, locomotive culinary journey,” says Fiona Nevin, head of global business development at MJM Marine. 

Three of the five pools on Utopia of the Seas will be located at the centre of the pool deck, alongside three Lime & Coconut bars, with live music and tropical cocktails. The Perfect Storm has high-speed waterslides, while Splashaway Bay has been designed for younger children. Tucked away in the exclusive Suite neighbourhood, the Suite Sun Deck will also feature a pool with a bird’s eye view of the ocean. 

The Ultimate Abyss slide will be 43 feet longer than on previous ships, take 19 seconds from start to finish, and feature new zoom booster rollers and transparent racing windows. The ship will also have a FlowRider surf simulator, a Utopia Playscape for young children and mini golf at AquaDunes. 

“Vacationers are looking to make every moment count by celebrating and recharging with their friends and family, and Utopia of the Seas makes all that possible in more ways than one,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “With the variety of dining, bars, pools, entertainment and thrills that make Oasis-class ships revolutionary and the experiences to match on our private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, we’ve combined the best of the best to create the world’s biggest weekend for everyone.”

Fun on cruise ships: Royal Caribbean presents a train-inspired restaurant

‘we want you to believe that you are on a train’.

Trent Kelly , Reporter

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – Royal Caribbean presented The Royal Railway, a restaurant concept inspired by the turn-of-the-century rail journeys.

The two 24-seat train cars will be on board the Utopia of the Seas, the sixth ship of the Oasis Class set to start service in July out of Port Canaveral.

“We want you to believe that you are on a train,” said Jay Schneider, Royal Caribbean’s chief product innovation officer.

To enhance the illusion, the interior has LED screens dressed by window frames and a team of actors will play their roles. The chef’s menu will match the destinations.

The experiences may vary from the family-friendly Old Wild West adventure, a romantic Silk Road journey through Asia, hot chocolate time at the North Pole, and wine tastings in Napa Valley.

Icon of the Seas: Exploring private islands, swim up bars and Broadway shows on Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship

Royal caribbean's newest oasis class ship is sailing from the port of miami all summer and beyond.

Two years ago I sailed on my first cruise, Wonder of the Seas , and was somewhat stunned to have had one of the best travel experiences I'd ever had in my life. 

I had once wrongly assumed that cruising was a luxury strictly reserved for the senior generation and families with young children. As someone in my twenties without kids, what exactly was there for me to do? 

When an invitation to sail on Wonder's big sister, Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas , landed in my inbox at the start of this year, I've never been so quick to say "yes". 

Having now experienced the magic of Royal Caribbean's Oasis Class ships for a second time, let me unveil exactly why cruising should be on your travel bucket list, regardless of your age.

MORE CRUISE INSPIRATION

First impressions of icon of the seas.

If a dose of grandeur is what you're after, you'd be hard pressed to find something more impressive than Icon of the Seas. 

The ship is a total spectacle from the moment you step on board and into Icon's Royal Promenade, where you're met by The Pearl - a staggering art installation that leads guests up an illuminated staircase and out onto a breathtaking sea view. At sunset, this spot becomes a candy-pink orb framing a backdrop of orange-hued skies, ticking all the boxes for an aesthetic Instagram snap. 

Each deck is separated into eight neighbourhoods; the Aqua Dome, Chill Island, Thrill Island, The Hideaway, Surfside, the Royal Promenade, Central Park, and the exclusive Suite Neighbourhood reserved strictly for suite guests.

With so many corners of the ship boasting wildly different vibes, from the buzzy Promenade to the luxe adults-only Hideaway and the oasis of calm in Central Park, the ship is a realm of infinite discovery. 

Considering Icon's capacity for 7,500 passengers I thought I would struggle to find peace on the ship, but there’s a palpable sense of calm about the space, with plenty of decks for families and adrenaline seekers to have fun while leaving chill holidaymakers undisturbed. 

Royal Caribbean's staff contribute massively to the sense of calm, aided by their approachable nature, openness to chat with each and every guest and unmatched efficiency. Fittingly, Royal Caribbean refer to their excellent service as 'the Royal way', and it's easy to see why experienced cruisers are always keen to return to Royal's Oasis Class ships.

No day is the same on board

Icon of the Seas was created with one goal in mind, to become the "world's best family vacation".

Royal Caribbean have seriously dialled up the thrills on Icon of the Seas, starting with the debut of Thrill Island, an adrenaline-amping six-slide waterpark located on Deck 16. Not only is the attraction the largest waterpark at sea, but it features some electrifying slides that could easily compete with some of the theme parks I've been to on land.

Despite picturing myself sticking to the adults-only areas, whizzing down the flumes and braving the epic pressure drop slide quickly became our favourite pre-lunch ritual on days at sea. Shortly after our daily dose of dopamine at the waterpark, we'd stroll over to Hideaway Bay for some much-needed chillout time. 

Floating in mid-air eight stories up, the Hideaway infinity pool at sea brought beach club vibes to the back of the ship in the form of an adults-only paradise. Sipping on a frozen pina colada while a DJ spun soulful tracks and the orange sun dunked into the sea was a next level of luxury I would have never expected from a 'family friendly' cruise.

Travel Tip:  On port days the ship is near empty, meaning you can enjoy attractions, pools, jaccuzzis and swim up bars and feel like you're the only one there. 

Icon has over 40 drinking and dining options

It's worth noting that Royal Caribbean ships are a total haven for culinary aficionados and cocktail enthusiasts. Each and every eatery offers a totally unique menu, with almost every cuisine imaginable on offer somewhere on the ship. 

There are over 40 different drinking and dining options available on board, spanning from a walk-up Champagne bar in Central Park to a post-swim hot dog stand in Surfside. 

While there are excellent options available in all of the ship's included restaurants, you'll need to book one of Icon's speciality dining options for anything particularly spectacular. 

A highlight of our trip was dining at Izumi, a Japanese restaurant serving up izakaya-style starters and fiery sushi bites. Considering you're cruising in the Caribbean, it would be criminal to miss the frozen Piña Coladas too.

The entertainment is unmatched

One thing I love about Royal Caribbean’s ships is how much performing arts has become the beating heart of the brand. Be it a jazz singer serenading your candlelit dinner, dancers taking over the Royal Promenade for a midnight flash mob, or a full Broadway-worthy production in the Royal Theatre, there is never a moment when the atmosphere on board isn’t electric. 

A curtain-raising production of The Wizard of Oz is currently dazzling audiences on Icon of the Seas, and Nick Weir's modernised adaptation would easily sell out audiences in London’s West End.

Aerials, acrobats and nail-biting 60ft dives into plunge pools left audiences in the Aqua Dome totally mesmerised - myself included. Aqua Action, Royal's aquatics show really was unlike anything I had seen before, with the talented ex-Olympian cast performing tricks worthy of Cirque du Soleil 's stage.

Prices start at £1,372 per person based on a 7-day Caribbean cruise on Icon of the Seas departing from Miami, Florida. To book, visit  https://www.royalcaribbean.com
