An at-sea FlowRider, inside rooms with real-time virtual balconies, a 3D cinema, new dining and bar options, a new Diamond Lounge for loyalty guests and a host of up-to-the-minute technologies is what $US80 million bought for the revitalisation of Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of The Seas.
Showing off her brand new make-over in Sydney last night to the travel industry, Voyager of The Seas set sail for a one night cruise to launch her return down under.
First wowing Sydney when she first arrived on Australian shores back in 2012, the return of Voyager of The Seas with even more incredible features like the only on Royal Caribbean at-sea surf machine, new accommodation offerings and dining shows Royal Caribbean’s commitment to giving Australian guests the very best.
“That’s why we have invested more than $US200 million over the last few years revitalising our entire Australian fleet to ensure Australians have the newest and most feature packed ships on their doorstep,” Royal Caribbean International, Australia and South East Asia, commercial director, Sean Treacy said.
The superliner now offers innovative cruising features similar to those found on Royal Caribbean’s newest Quantum and Oasis class ships. One major change is the industry first inside rooms with real-time virtual balconies, and a 3D cinema.
The ship also features new dining options including fresh sushi at Izumi Japanese Cuisine, Royal Caribbean’s signature Chop’s Grille steakhouse and Giovanni’s Table Italian trattoria. Added also is a new retro-chic R Bar that channels the sophisticated 1960s era, as well as a new Diamond Lounge for loyalty guests.
Getting lost onboard the Voyager of the Seas is also a thing of the past, thanks to a host of up-to-the-minute technologies including new digital signage to help guests find their way around the ship and to find out what’s happening onboard, bow-to-stern Wi-Fi service and flat panel televisions in every stateroom.
