Traveling on such luxury liners is a pleasure. An unusual atmosphere and a lot of entertainment on board, endless space around and an amazing atmosphere.

Royal Caribbean International has commissioned Finnish shipbuilders to build a completely new class of passenger liners that will be able to hold the palm for many years to come. This is how the cruise ship Oasis of the Seas was born, which was launched as the largest passenger ship in the world on October 28, 2009. In addition, the liner won first place in another category, as the most expensive ship on the planet. $1.24 billion was spent on its construction; the average cost of keeping such a vessel in port will cost its owners $230,000.

The new Genesis class ships, the first-born Oasis of the Seas and the already under construction Allure of the Seas, surpassed their predecessor Freedom of the Seas and became 21 m longer, 8.5 m wider and almost 43 percent heavier. .

The passenger ships of the Genesis project have become truly remarkable liners. This bold design, and a lot of innovations and technological advances in amenities for passengers, all this will now help attract new customers to unforgettable sea travel.

The Oasis of the Seas liner incorporates all the best that is available on the ships of Royal Caribbean International. Its first voyage on December 5, 2009 will be held on a grand scale, including the most luxurious party at sea. For its guests this is an amazing sea voyage, and for the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship it is a readiness to withstand any threat: hurricanes, giant waves and even contagious diseases.

The ship was built by the shipbuilding company STX Europe specifically for Royal Caribbean International; the construction of the Oasis of the Seas cost £855 million. The length of the ship is 361 meters, width - 66, and its highest point rises 72 meters above the water surface. The liner's displacement is 225 thousand tons. Oasis is 40% larger than any other cruise ship in the world. The ship, five times the size of the Titanic, can accommodate 6,360 passengers and 2,160 crew on sixteen decks in 2,704 cabins. By the way, the new liner is 2 times larger than the previous record holder - Queen Mary II.

The vessel is equipped with 6 Wärtsilä engines - three 12-cylinder and three 16-cylinder. Together, its propulsion systems generate a power of 96 MW, which allows the ship to reach speeds of up to 22.6 nautical knots. The ship's new owners were very surprised to learn that the Oasis had four more cabins than originally planned.

New safety measures and the design of completely new features for cruising have made Oasis of the Seas one of the most anticipated cruise ships in history. The ship has so-called telescopic pipes, which can be reduced if it is necessary to sail under the bridge. The world's largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, had to be partially dismantled so it could pass under Denmark's Great Belt Bridge. But even after the height of the pipes was reduced, the distance between the ship and the construction structure was less than half a meter. For safety reasons, traffic on the bridge was blocked for 15 minutes. Hundreds of people gathered on both sides of the river to watch the brightly lit cruise ship, which rises above the water like a 20-story building.

There is a lot of entertainment here, both for ordinary people and for millionaires. The ship is equipped with a water amphitheater, a carousel (made “life-size”), a floating park, an ice skating rink, a golf course, 4 swimming pools, which required a total of 2,300 tons of water, volleyball and basketball courts, a climbing wall and a children's area with theme parks and children's science laboratories. Among other things, it has 10 spa baths and surfing simulators. The ship is so large that it is divided into “districts” with special themes, including a tropical area with palm trees and wines. In total, 12 thousand plants and 56 trees were planted on the ship - this is the world's first park on a ship with an area of ​​2000 square meters. m, which became a kind of analogue of “Central” Park in New York. Therefore, its passengers can relax in the park in the shade of real trees, listen to Broadway musicals and watch an ice show.

A 750-seat outdoor amphitheater is located aft and is modeled after an ancient Greek amphitheater. The indoor theater, located in another part of the ship, can accommodate 1,300 guests. A two-week cruise on the miracle ship Oasis of the Seas will cost a fairly modest amount: from £1,300 for a place in the cheapest cabin. Its sister ship, Allure of the Seas, is scheduled for completion in late 2010.

Passengers like to celebrate all the time, but if the cruise is “premium class”, and almost all the people are wealthy, then on board the ship there should be about 20,000 bottles of champagne, more than 14,000 kg of meat products, 44,000 fresh eggs, 6,600 kg of salad, 3,000 kg of onions, 22,000 kg of potatoes and this is only a small part of the food supply.

After completion of loading, the cruise ship "Oasis of the Seas" sets off on its first cruise voyage. And if you forgot something, then, alas, it’s too late to correct the mistakes. The liner left the port of Everglades and the cruise began.

Doctors on the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship are hoping to avoid another type of natural disaster. If at least two people with a viral disease board the ship, it will spread instantly, since everyone is in a confined space. The liner is equipped with disinfectants in all public places, especially before meals.

Cruises on a ship usually guarantee first-class food 24 hours a day. Especially during holiday cruises, when the ship’s staff throws a real feast on board the ship. The restaurants serve the most exquisite dishes.

And waste disposal is the most important part of the internal structure of the ship. The Oasis of the Seas has its own waste treatment plant, where all waste is carefully sorted. Tin cans are pressed, glass is broken to prepare for recycling, and all other solid waste is stored until it can be dumped at the nearest port, because the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship is an environmentally friendly ship.

More than three hundred cooks work on board the ship. It's in the galley that $2 million worth of food is found. Due to strict hygiene regulations, the galley is prohibited for all but registered employees. Every day, about 70,000 main dishes are served on the ship, of which 15,000 are dessert.

The Cruise Director is responsible for all entertainment during the cruise. The most difficult part of his job is to make sure that the guests are satisfied. He plans entertainment, communicates with guests and keeps them in a good mood. There is an own film studio on board. Its employees film daily material on board the ship, and then, after editing, broadcast it to the cabins, usually in the evening.

No less amazing place On the cruise ship Oasis of the Seas, the Royal Promenade runs down the center of the ship. There is a unique illuminated transparent elevator here. This place has so many shops and bars that it looks like a small town. There is plenty of entertainment to be had on board the Oasis of the Seas cruise ship.

Traditionally, an artificial wave pool is installed on the upper deck. Its pumps pump up to 112,000 liters of water per minute.

One of the most popular events on the ship is the theater, which seats about 2,000 people. The show on ice also attracts a lot of spectators. To ensure that everything goes without falls, engineers turn on the ship's stabilization system.

February 24, 2010- the Royal Carribean company realized that many people might like the idea of ​​tracking one person to others, and they were right, the new product quickly became very popular

On the world's largest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, Royal Caribbean is offering the latest in IT technology, ID bracelets and iPhone mobile phones so that people can find each other in the countless rooms of the giant ship. Wristbands are personal radio frequency identifiers RFID, although they can be not only bracelets, but also badges or clips. WiFi operates throughout the ship, the signal from the bracelet via WiFi goes to an Apple iPhone equipped with detailed diagram liner, that is, at any time one person can know exactly where another is.

There are almost 1,000 places on the ship where you can access WiFi, and at first the company just wanted to make it so that people could communicate with each other via mobile phones and not only communicate, through the ship’s iPhone you can get this or that information, order a service, etc., but then they realized that the idea of ​​​​tracking one person to others might appeal to many, and they turned out to be right, the new product quickly became very popular. It is not difficult to guess that parents have become the main consumers of identifiers. The liner is incredibly huge, there are a lot of places where a child can get lost, and this can become a problem not only for parents, but also for the entire crew. Searching for a lost person on a ship is a multi-hour and extremely difficult operation, a general emergency on the ship, and preferably at this time all other passengers should be forced into cabins or public areas.

At first, Oasis of the Seas offered badges as an identifier, but then they went further and now offer bracelets, which are much more convenient, since they can serve as a kind of pagers. If you send a signal from the iPhone, the bracelet begins to vibrate, and its owner will understand that they are looking for him. If this is a child, then fine, but teenagers are unlikely to like this kind of IT surveillance. The young man met a girl at a disco and retired with her to a darker and more secluded place, fortunately giant liner There are plenty of places like this, and the damned bracelets suddenly start vibrating, what’s it like? But what a blessing to parents...

The device operates on the basis of the RTLS real-time location system from Ekahau, the signal from the identifier is processed by the DeFi Royal Connect program and sent to the final server, and from there it goes to the iPhone, the location accuracy is 3-3.5 meters. The bracelets are powered by rechargeable batteries; there is more than enough charge for a week-long cruise. After the end of the cruise, the bracelets are returned to the administration and charged again. The reviews, they say at Royal Carribean, are very good so far, but they don’t yet know how and where this new product can be used, in addition to surveillance, they are collecting data. During cruises, users of the electronic spy are interviewed, and it is hoped that the information collected will expand the scope of application of Wi-Fi RFID identifiers.

Some numbers:

5000 kilometers of electrical wiring

12,000 plants, including real trees, but the plants will be installed and planted later, upon the ship’s arrival in the USA

7,000 works of art will decorate the ship's premises or be displayed in the halls of 90,000 square meters of carpeting

The construction of the liner took 525,000 square meters of steel - an area equivalent to 72 football fields

Did you know that...

The screws for this giant will be manufactured by a Russian plant - JSC Baltic Plant

JSC Baltic Plant has completed the production of the first propeller designed for the world's largest ocean cruise liner, Genesis. The 360-meter-long vessel is being built by the Norwegian company Aker Yards at its shipyard in Finland. The Baltic Shipyard will equip the aircraft with two propellers. The diameter of each product is more than 6 meters.
Contracts for the manufacture of propellers for the cruise ships Genesis, Super Star Libra, Celebrity and Hall, which are being built at the Finnish shipyard, were concluded by JSC Baltic Plant (St. Petersburg) and FSUE Zvezdochka (Severodvinsk) in 2007. According to the terms of the agreements, the St. Petersburg enterprise will supply the customer with several dozen sets of blades, hubs and fairings, as well as sets of spare parts for propellers, by the end of this year. The value of the contracts is more than 10 million euros.

The Baltic Plant is the only Russian manufacturer of large propellers (weighing up to 70 tons, diameter up to 8 m) made of bronze and brass. The company produces modern propellers for all types of warships and submarines; large-capacity tankers and bulk carriers; nuclear and diesel-electric icebreakers; container ships and passenger ships; small coastal, river and pleasure craft; fast ships and boats.

One evening, the captain of the liner gives dinner to his guests. Cruise vacationers love formal events. Each of them tries to bring home the memory of sea ​​voyage For this purpose, several professional photographers work on board the ship. About 30,000 photos will be taken during the cruise.

The beauty of anyone cruise travel is that in the ports where the liner stops, a lot of new sensations await passengers.

On the ship, everything is done for the clients, but there are always passengers who behave badly and interfere with others. Such people are asked to leave the ship at the nearest port. But the worst thing is when a passenger dies on board. Then the whole team has to console his loved ones. The body is placed in its own morgue.

Crew members and service personnel lead full lives, but completely isolated from guests. They are not allowed to use the main passages on board the aircraft unless absolutely necessary. All personnel move along a hidden system of service corridors and staircases. To do this, in the center of this labyrinth there is a main passage that runs the entire length of the ship. It has the unofficial name E-95, and is used by crew members to get to their cabins, where they can take a break from guests. The laundry room on such a ship is one of the busiest of all types of ships. The workers of this plant work around the clock.

In nightclubs liner« Oasis of the Seas“The DJs do their job well. While they are warming up the audience, night falls on the ship and then the ship catches fire most of of 750,000 lamps. Electricity on the cruise ship is generated by diesel generators custom-made by the company " Wartsilla».

The most secure room on a cruise ship is the engineering control room. From here they monitor the weather conditions and control the work power plant and control all ship systems. This is the center of power on a passenger ship, so entry is strictly prohibited.

On liner« Oasis of the Seas» 4,500 km of electrical cable have been laid, so the main thing for the ship’s engineers is not bad weather, and a fire. Such liner consumes on average up to 11,000 kg of fuel per hour. A sudden spark anywhere is much more dangerous than a hurricane. Operating costs are enormous - even a slight deviation from the course can add up to a considerable sum.

During bad weather and the inability to safely enter the port, the ship's captain may give orders not to enter the port, and the cruise director will immediately announce the changed plans to passengers. This adds more work to the entertainment service as everyone stays on board.

A cruise ship« Oasis of the Seas"became the world's first passenger ship to have seven independent thematic areas on board Central Park, Boardwalk, Royal Promenade, Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone, so no one here is discouraged.

Central Park is located under open air in the center of the ship and forms public place with sidewalks, flowers and trees. Its grounds are used for outdoor walks, street performances and concerts. Above the park's surroundings, 334 cabins stretch five stories high, 254 of which have balconies that overlook the park. Central Park has a range of boutiques, a garden, many gazebos, a sculpture park, cafes, restaurants and a wine bar.

Despite the size liner, some passengers suffer from seasickness. Although all the staff maintain a calm demeanor, some have to deal with a variety of problems on board, from natural disasters to crimes. The plainclothes security service takes on this matter. They have CCTV cameras and the ship's own law enforcement agencies at their disposal.

In case of evacuation to cruise ship There is a modern system of rescue boats, as well as inflatable life rafts, which are located at strategic points on the ship. Resolving safety and security issues, guest requirements. Even on such liners as " Oasis of the Seas“With a great organization, sometimes people can get lost. They are often late at ports, so the ship always reminds them that the ship is leaving exactly on schedule.

The ship has a huge selection of cabins, which include luxury rooms and family rooms. A new feature is 25 two-level rooms with balconies. Each of them covers an area of ​​1524 square meters. m and is designed for six people. The room has its own piano, bar, jacuzzi and library. Balcony area 78 sq. meters.

Here we can see the construction process

They are called “cities of the sea” with numerous entertainments and all kinds of amenities for passengers. Until today, the Titanic was considered a legendary, large-scale passenger liner. But now the largest cruise ship in the world in 2016 is Harmony of the seas("Harmony of the Seas"). It is 70 cubic meters high and 362 m long. It even broke the record for the longest ship of the RCI, built in 2010 Allure of the seas. The new giant is only 2 cm larger than the previous one.

The world's largest cruise ship: characteristics

The ship with a displacement of 225.282 thousand tons is equipped with 16 decks, 2704 cabins that can accommodate 5.4 thousand passengers. It is environmentally friendly among its class. Produces 20 percent less hydrocarbon emissions into the air. This is achieved through the use of new technologies.

Construction lasted 2.5 years. More than 1.5 billion US dollars were spent. The area is larger than the size of two football fields. The total power of six diesel units is 132 thousand horsepower, thanks to the engine traction it develops speeds of over 22 knots. This is the third giant of the “Largest Cruise Ship in the World” class for 2016.

To ensure that passengers have a long-lasting vacation, there are plenty of entertainment options on board the ship, and some travelers sometimes don’t have time to try everything during their stay. Here you can find leisure activities for every taste. Thrill-seekers will love the dizzying descents from the water slides, which are located at a height of 10 deck floors. Guests have at their disposal: swimming pools, casinos, exciting parties, sports grounds, and jazz clubs.

Harmony of the Seas is divided into six themed zones:

1. Central Park is located in the heart of the ship. Created in the park Botanical Garden. Guests have every chance to enjoy walks in the park for a long time.
2. Promenade (Boardwalk), Pedestrian area with cafes and bars. This sector organizes breakfast and lunch for guests.
3. Sports area with swimming pool. No other steamship includes so many water capabilities. In addition to many swimming pools, there are sports grounds for playing tennis, golf, etc.

5. Amusement Park (Entertainment Place). Includes a casino, clubs, skating rink, theater.

The largest cruise ship has 4 main categories of cabins:

• Suites. They differ from other rooms not only in their favorable location, but large size living space.
• Rooms with balconies. Perfect for lovers of fresh air
• Cabins with a window that allow you to enjoy views of the port call.
• Simple comfortable rooms.

Over the summer, the liner made seven-day trips around the Mediterranean Sea, and in the fall it will cross the Atlantic Ocean.

How much does the pleasure of riding on such a miracle of water engineering cost? Really inexpensive. Quite for an acceptable amount, which will be equal to a 1-day holiday in Thailand, but if you do not order a luxury apartment, you will stay in standard rooms. Nowadays, trips around the world by sea are not only reserved for the elite. Such entertainment is accessible to the middle class. So, all that remains is to earn money for such a voyage, stock up on a great mood and go ahead – buy a tour to the largest cruise ship in the world in 2016!

The largest cruise ship: video

The largest cruise ships have impressive dimensions, aesthetic appearance and all the amenities for living. They are considered huge waterfowl "homes" capable of sailing the seas and oceans of the world. Below is a detailed list of 10 airliners - from the smallest and oldest to the more modern and truly gigantic model.

The ship is an "old man". Its length is 250 m. In the summer of 2003 (date of creation), the liner was very famous. Articles have been written about Crystal. Its dimensions amazed lovers of water travel 15 years ago. It's cozy and comfortable inside.

People can relax at Crystal Serenity, go to an evening dinner, relax in the SPA center, do fitness and keep in shape.

Only wealthy people can get to Lux class Crystal. But the hospitality and comfort of the floating “city” justified the money spent. The liner has undergone several restorations. The last time the ship was improved was in 2013. About 16 million dollars were spent on modernization. The amount for all improvements is about $115 million.

Today, the Crystal can accommodate about 1,070 people, who can be spread evenly across 550 cabins. The largest cruise ship in the world has several outdoor swimming pools, a dedicated fitness area, a SPA center and 2 Jacuzzis. There is also a golf course on the ship. Separately, in another room there is table tennis and 2 courts.

For fun there are casinos and clubs. For shopaholics - boutiques with clothes. Several bars are located next to restaurants for connoisseurs of expensive elite whiskey. For 15 years, Crystal has turned into an entertainment club for tourists with various interests. Most often it is used by people over 40 who are experts in all the delights of traveling across the seas and oceans.

The ship is capable of traveling around the world, navigating calm and stormy waters. In the winter of 2017, Crystal went on a big tour lasting 3 months. He sailed from Miami to South America. Geography lovers purchased tickets in advance.

Their cost ranges from $35 to $53 thousand (depending on the number). People who managed to buy a ticket in the fall of 2016 (4.5 months before the start of the tour) are the lucky ones. Until the end of August the price was significantly reduced.

Queen Mary 2

Translated: Queen Marie. Date of creation: 2004. From the first day after launching, the ship is considered a leader among its peers. In the winter of 2003, an emergency occurred during the construction of the ship. He was standing at a shipyard, the ladder had collapsed. 15 construction workers died. Another 30 were seriously injured.

Interesting! Queen Marie - the only airliner, which carries the royal mail.

In the winter of 2007, the liner sailed to circumnavigation lasting 80 days. The number of people on board is only 500. The ticket price is $100 thousand. The trip was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the cruise itself big ship for passengers.

In 2015, the Queen was restored, spending $120 million. The appearance was changed. After this, Marie is considered the most stylish ship in the world. The cabins are furnished to taste, the guests admire: “Like in a five-star hotel!” The ship has 12 decks for passengers, 1,300 cabins, which can accommodate more than 3 thousand people. Crew – 1250 people.

Initially, a dress code was introduced on the liner. Swimsuits are only allowed near the pool. Evening dresses and suits are appropriate in restaurants or while walking. If you want to spend time in a cafe during the day, it is better to wear a T-shirt and shorts.

More often, young couples and families with children go on trips on the Korolev. Sometimes they take pets to roam the oceans. But it is allowed that no more than 25 animals are on board at the same time. A 7-day cruise in Canada and America will cost $1 thousand (if you choose a windowless cabin). Luxury rooms – over $2 thousand.

Britannia

In 2015, after the last restoration, the Britannia liner set off on its first voyage. 2 months before the start of the cruise, Queen Elizabeth herself was present at the first launching ceremony. She also blessed the ship. This is the 5th ship to be christened by the Queen of Britain. The company spent $2 billion on this. The ship can accommodate 4.1 thousand people and 1.2 thousand crew.

The liner has:

• 16 decks;
• 3 atriums;
• theater;
• 4 swimming pools;
• museum with works of art (about 1 million copies)
• almost 2 thousand numbers.

Britain is suitable for couples with children. The cabins are large and have several beds. Suites have additional sofa beds. At the beginning of the trip, employees warn that it is forbidden to leave children unattended. Thanks to the “standard” class, the ticket price is average. For a cabin without a window - $800 for 10 days of travel.

Carnival Vista

“Novichok” first launched in the summer of 2016. It was thought through to the smallest detail. A water park was installed on the deck for children and adults. The ship is designed for married couples. Number of cabins – 1825. The liner surprises passengers with colorful slides (suitable for extreme sports enthusiasts and children over 7 years old). The ship can accommodate 4.7 thousand people (not including crew members - 1.3 thousand).

The first cruise took place in the spring of 2016 to Barcelona. Children are not allowed to be left alone during travel. To do this, you can call a nanny or take the child to the nursery.

The restaurants provide dietary meals. The fitness center will help you stay in shape. There are no single cabins, but there are special rooms for the disabled.

The cabins have a minibar, air conditioning, TV and even a safe. Wireless Internet and laundry are available for a fee. Minus - there is no ironing board or a specially designated room for this. Travelers found a lack in the kitchen - the portions were small, it was impossible to satisfy their hunger. The menu is not varied.

We especially noted the dress code – it is too strict. It is prohibited to enter restaurants in shorts and a T-shirt, even during the daytime. In 2018, the owner listened to tourists, changed the menu in restaurants, and diversified it. But the dress code remained unchanged.

Vista was the first ship to have a large cinema on board. But you need to pay an additional fee for the session. The main travel route is America. Only in the fall of 2017 the liner sailed on a European tour through spanish cities. The price for 1 ticket is $1 thousand per person for a small cabin.

Quantum of the Seas

The largest cruise ship in the world was launched at the end of 2014. Its scale is amazing: length - 350 m, width - 40 m. The creators came up with the idea of ​​​​installing a virtual reality balcony in each cabin, which is an 80-inch crane, behind which is a projection of the view overboard.

The liner has:

1. High speed internet.
2. Pools with a special mechanism that produces realistic waves.
3. Air capsule.
4. Robot bartender.
5. Skydiving (simulator).
6. Reservation service (opportunity to order food, tickets for attractions) - a program is installed on the gadget in advance and a reminder is set; some approach the information kiosks scattered throughout the ship.

The ship has 2,100 rooms. They can accommodate 4,900 travelers. Upon arrival, many vacationers note that the staff is efficient and friendly. The vessel is suitable for both married couples and elderly people. Tours are short - 5 days. The minimum price for a cabin without a window is $850. This addition to the interior is inexpensive - $23.

Norwegian Escape

The appearance of the Norwegian ship was awaited by people who like to go on trips with their families. The liner is huge and safe. He was among the five ships that are suitable for family vacation.

The Norwegian Escape was launched for the first time in the fall of 2016. Its length is 335 m. The ship is called a small city, capable of accommodating 4.8 thousand people (1,700 of them are the crew). In restaurants, cafes, entertainment centers Huge queues form, which tire visitors. But instead of queues, you can soak in the large swimming pool or jacuzzi.

The spa area was modernized, improved in appearance, and a salt room with scented candles was added, as well as a snow room and a thermal pool.

A huge plus is the availability of single cabins and rooms for the disabled. There are only 2 restaurants and 8 bars throughout the ship. There is a children's pool and a special room for children. Additionally, you can order babysitting services (the price is included in the ticket).

The largest cruise ship in the world has 15 decks with a water park and ropes course. Price for a double room with a window is $600 per person (for a 6-day cruise). Without a window - $100 cheaper. The cost for a single room is 2 times cheaper. The liner sails through the Caribbean Sea, starting its journey from Miami..

The World

You can only get on board the ship with a tour package. "The World" is multi-story. An interesting decision was made during construction - to make everyone living on the ship a full owner of a cabin, and not just a renter of a room. This was invented by the owner of the ship, Knud Kloster, in 2002.

The first 130 cabins were bought up by rich people. They liked the shipowner's crazy idea. About 75% of the rooms were sold out before construction was completed. Wealthy people were not afraid of the price for a cabin - from $2.5 to $9 million. There are 165 residences in total (of which 105 are apartments, the rest are studios, one-room Khrushchev apartments).

The ship has 12 decks for passengers. The higher the cabin, the higher the prestige of the owner. It is difficult to call a full-fledged apartment with a bathroom, balcony, kitchen and bedroom cabins. On average, a room occupies 200 sq.m.

Owners of numbers can dispose of them according to at will. Some rent them out, and many stay on the ship for years, traveling to different cities. Every morning people enjoy a new view from the window.

The maximum number of people can be accommodated by the leader of the “ten” – “Harmony of the Seas”. The smallest ship is “Crystal Serenity” (length – 250 m, width – 32 m). But for people who often travel on liners, it doesn’t matter how big or small the ship is. The atmosphere on the ship and old acquaintances with crew members are important to them.

Married couples prefer relaxing holiday on the Norwegian Escape or on the Oasis. The first has cabins designed for 8 people (perfect for a large family). On the second one you can meet crew members of any nationality, be it English or French, or Russian. The number of nationalities is more than 70.

If you don’t know any language, there is always someone who can help. The staff is very friendly. Older people - true connoisseurs of furniture, music, and atmosphere from the 50s - will prefer Crystal Serenity to other liners. Comfort and coziness always reign on board. You can indulge in nostalgia or relax while playing poker.

Some people buy a ticket on the oldest and largest (at that time) cruise ship in the world, where the tour lasts up to 3 months, in order to chat with other people, and maybe make new acquaintances.

You can also spend your evenings at the bar, chatting with a robot bartender (on the Quantum of the Seas). After all, travelers are divided into 2 types: those who want to relax, and those who are not going to relax.
