Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas Back From $165 Million Dollar Refit.
RETURN TO NYCRUISEINFO.com
On May 10, 2020 Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas will depart New York
for the first time marking a number of major milestones including: The
first Oasis class ship to
call at New York and the largest cruise ship ever to call at the
port. The Oasis of the Seas is the first Oasis Class ship built for
Royal Caribbean and has just competed (November 2019) a $165
million dollar refit which Royal Caribbean refers to as
Amplification.
The Oasis will sail a series of cruises departing from Cape Liberty,
Bayonne, New Jersey calling at Port Canaveral, Florida; Nassau, Bahamas
and CocoCay, Bahamas where passengers can enjoy the
perfect day at Coco Cay (Royal Caribbean's Private Island
destination). As part of her series of New York / New Jersey cruises,
the Oasis of the Seas will also sail on a single Canada cruise.
The Oasis of the Seas will sail from Cape Liberty Bayonne NJ until
October 25, 2020.
Royal Caribbean International’s iconic Oasis of the Seas, the ship that revolutionized the cruise industry, has made a splash in its return to South Florida with a $165 million new look. The original gamechanger debuts a thrilling combination of new Royal Caribbean experiences, including the cruise line’s first barbecue restaurant, Portside BBQ; and guest favorites, from the tallest slide at sea–the Ultimate Abyss–to popular live music venue Music Hall, and a reimagined, Caribbean pool deck. Oasis is now sailing 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises from Miami before heading to the Big Apple in May 2020, where it will become the first of its kind and the largest cruise ship to sail from the area.
“To see a 63-day, $165 million effort come to life on a ship as iconic as Oasis of the Seas is remarkable,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “Our guests–new and fans alike–are in for an Oasis that takes family vacations to the next level. With exciting, new adventures and signature experiences, this ship is every bit as original as the day she debuted 10 years ago, almost to the day.”
Top Deck Thrills
Oasis is the first of the cruise line’s renowned Oasis Class–the world’s largest cruise ships–to be modernized as part of the Royal Amplified fleet modernization effort. An investment of more than $1 billion, across 10 ships in four years, the program touches every facet of the guest experience on board.
