Oasis of The Seas To Undergo $165 million Refurb

Oasis of the Seas, marks its 10-year anniversary with a larger-than-ever, $165 million amplification.

Oasis of the Seas Refurbishment

Oasis of the Seas will set a new standard for family vacations with first-to-brand experiences and the latest Royal Caribbean hits. Guest favourites making their way to Oasis of the Seas as part of the 63-day modernization include a reimagined, Caribbean-inspired pool deck that will feature a Splashaway Bay kids aquapark and The Lime & Coconut signature bar; Music Hall; the Perfect Storm trio of waterslides, and the Ultimate Abyss – the tallest slide at sea.

The amplified Oasis of the Seas will set sail on 24 November 2019, beginning 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries from Royal Caribbean’s new, state-of-the-art Terminal A in Miami.

Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International said:

When Oasis of the Seas debuted as the world’s largest and most groundbreaking cruise ship a decade ago, the typical cruise vacation as the world knew it was forever changed. Today, our Oasis Class ships continue to lead the industry and attract vacationers new to cruising. Now with the opportunity to disrupt the industry once again, we’ve gone all-in with our biggest and boldest amplification yet. Oasis will turn heads when she arrives to Miami this November and the Northeast in May 2020.
