Cruisers rejoice! Royal Caribbean’s largest ship Allure of the Seas will be sailing to new, fascinating Mediterranean destinations in 2015.
The largest, and one of the best ships on the water, Allure offers an extensive array of onboard amenities contained in seven themed neighborhoods, such as an 82 foot-long zip line, a handcrafted carousel, the Rising Tide elevating bar, a fully-licensed Broadway musical, the high-diving Aqua theater, and Central Park with more than 12,000 live trees and plants.
For the last 4 years Allure has been sailing the Caribbean exclusively. Vacationers who have loved sailing onboard the majestic ship will love that they will soon be able to see Europe in style!
