I don’t normally post about ships that are still in construction, but I came across this cool (though not terribly high quality) footage of what looks to be a very cool ship, the MS Oasis of the Seas from Royal Caribbean.
The Oasis of the Seas will be launching in late 2009 and is currently under construction in Turku, Finland.
The ship will be 1,181 feet in length and 220,000 (!!!!) gross tonnes. It is estimated to cost 1.2 billion USD to build.
She will hold 5,400 passengers and have 2,700 staterooms.
The Oasis of the Seas is going to have a pretty innovative concept. It will be divided into “neighborhoods”:
- Boardwalk
- Royal Promenade
- Central Park (!)
- Spa and Fitness Center
- Pool and Sports Zone
- Entertainment Place
- Youth Zone
I am really interested to see how they will pull off the Central Park one.
I’ll definitely be watching out for this and updating once it sails in late 2009. Does anyone here already have bookings on her?
