WORLD’S LARGEST AND MOST INNOVATIVE CRUISE
SHIP ALLURE OF THE SEAS TO INAUGURATE FIRST FULL OASIS-CLASS EUROPE SEASON
MIAMI – For nearly five
years, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, sister ships that share
the title of the world’s largest and most innovative cruise ships, have
captured vacationers’ imagination and taken more than two million guests
to unforgettable Caribbean destinations.
Royal Caribbean International
today announced that, for the first time since the ship was delivered in
Turku, Finland, in late 2010, Allure of the Seas will return to Europe
in summer 2015 and homeport at Barcelona, Spain, and take vacationers to
new, fascinating Mediterranean destinations for the first, full Oasis-class
Europe season.
Additionally, Rhapsody of the Seas will

and then sail a variety of seven- to 11-night Greek and Turkey itineraries
from Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy. For its part, Splendour of the Seas will
offer seven-night Greek Isle and Turkey itineraries from Venice, Italy.
“Royal Caribbean will be taking vacationers
to spectacular Europe destinations and delivering the WOW aboard the world’s
most innovative ships in 2015,” said Carol Schuster, senior vice president
of Marketing for Royal Caribbean International.
“Each Royal Caribbean
ship sailing in Europe has already undergone extensive enhancements as
part of our fleetwide revitalization program to deliver some of the most
popular concepts that debuted on the unmatched Allure of the Seas. No
matter which Royal Caribbean ship you choose, every member of our friendly
and engaging staff and crew will deliver our signature Gold Anchor Service
on an unforgettable Europe vacation.”
Starting May 24, 2015, Allure of the
Seas will sail every Sunday from Barcelona and sail a seven-night itinerary,
