Allure of the Seas

Now Oasis of the Seas' big sister takes to the water

Royal Caribbean International’s Allure of the Seas is not only the world’s most revolutionary cruise ship, but steals the title as the world’s largest cruise ship by just 50mm from sister-ship Oasis of the Seas.

An architectural marvel at sea, it spans 16 decks, weighs in at 225,282 gross registered tons, carries 6,200 guests at double occupancy, and features 2,700 staterooms.

21 swimming pools and whirlpools onboard

More than 20 different cafes and restaurants from Starbucks to steak houses
