Allure of the Seas – Biggest cruise Ship
Launched in December 2010, the second ship in the “Oasis” class, Allure of the Seas has a maximum capacity of 5,400 passengers (double occupancy) and sails on various itineraries in the beautiful Caribbean. Seven different areas (called Barrios) offer a variety of entertainment and leisure options. Wellness enthusiasts will also find a wide range of options for relaxation and personal wellness on board. Central Park, with more than 12,000 plant species, and Royal Avenue, inspired by British seaside resorts, with carousels and snack kiosks, make Allure of the Seas a mix between a floating city and an amusement park.
New additions since May 2020:
Following a renovation in May 2020, Allure of the Seas will offer even more thrills: the ten-story-high Ultimate Abyss dry slide and three new water slides will give you and your children a much-needed experience once you reach the shore. The newly designed pool deck offers more seating options, and the upper deck will have more hot tubs, as well as an adult sun deck.
The spacious new Adventure Park will be a delight for climbers, budding scientists and artists. There is also the Royal Escape Room, where you and your friends or family can try to escape from the thrilling chamber. The culinary offering has also been enhanced: new restaurants include Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar and Portside Barbecue. In the evening, you can now listen to live music in the Concert Hall or sing karaoke in the Spotlight Karaoke Bar.
