Harmony of the Seas, Royal Caribbean's third Oasis-class ship will be the biggest cruise vessel the world has seen when it hits the waters to sail in April 2016.
Bigger is not better. But the massive cruise ship features an incredible amount of space devoted to active fun. Sure, there is a time for sitting around and doing nothing on vacation, but you do that after tiring yourself out with a little adventure.
Harmony of the Seas looks like it will offer you a few ways to get a rush. The ship will have a three multistory waterslides. Wheeeeeee!
Harmony of the Seas also will offer an 82-foot-long zipline, two FlowRider surfing simulators, two rock-climbing walls, four pools, an ice-skating rink, full-court basketball, large fitness center and a jogging track that makes a full circuit of the giant ship.
"We are orchestrating a medley of new exciting concepts with the best Royal Caribbean innovations to strike the perfect chord for adventurous vacationers," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International.
Ha! Very clever. I get it. Because the ship is called Harmony of the Seas. How cute.
Witty quotes aside from the line's top exec. The ship looks as if it might really be a step forward again for Royal, which long has been a leader in providing creative onboard activities that can challenge the most active traveler.
Now, we just have to find a way to fend off those 5,000-plus other passengers onboard who might want to share these rides and activities with you. Ugh!
See you on the seas,
