Odyssey of the Seas

Royal Caribbean International, one of the world’s renowned cruise lines, has recently launched its newest ship – Odyssey of the Seas, further expanding its fleet of ships. The Odyssey of the Seas was actually delivered in March 2021, however, the world has yet to see it due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has put a halt on the cruise industry. Let’s take a closer look and uncover what Odyssey has to offer, once it starts to sail.

First and foremost, Odyssey is the sister ship to Spectrum of the Seas and Quantum of the Seas, but like all Royal Caribbean ships, it has its unique features that make this ship all the more special. The ship measures at around 347 meters long and can hold up to 4,198 passengers. The ship’s design is anything but ordinary, while some might describe it as a futuristic vessel, some will see it as simply magnificent. The ship boasts a variety of unique features, such as the North Star, the Flowrider, the skydiving simulator, the iFly, and even a Bionic Bar.

The North Star is one of the most exceptional features of the Odyssey of the Seas. It is a glass capsule that takes you 90 meters above the ocean, for a breathtaking view. Royal Caribbean’s ships are known for their adventurous activities, and Odyssey is no different. The ship offers a surf simulator, the Flowrider, that allows passengers to surf on the deck, inside the ship. For those who want to embark on a different kind of adventure, Odyssey has the iFly, which is an indoor skydiving simulator. Those who want to take a break from the adrenaline-fueled activities can take a stroll on the Seaplex, an extensive onboard entertainment complex that features bumper cars, a roller skating rink, and even a virtual reality experience.

Odyssey is a family-friendly ship, with a variety of activities, and entertainment options that cater to passengers from all age groups. The ship offers an innovative and immersive dining experience where passengers can enjoy a wide range of cuisines. From Norwegian salmon to Italian pizza, Odyssey has got it all covered. The ship has a few amazing restaurants, for example, Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar, Wonderland, Teppanyaki, Chop’s Grill, Izumi, and much more.

The Odyssey of the Seas has a total of 2,137 cabins, each with its own unique feature. The cabins range from interior to balcony and suite accommodation, with all cabins having uninterrupted ocean views through their floor-to-ceiling glass walls. The ship’s layout is innovative, allowing for ample space and comfort, even during peak season. Every detail on the Odyssey is thought out, from comfortable bedding to high-speed Wi-Fi to keep passengers connected with their loved ones back home.

Safety is always a top priority on every cruise, especially in the midst of a pandemic. The Odyssey of the Seas meets and exceeds all health and safety protocols to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew. Royal Caribbean has implemented various measures such as COVID-19 testing, social distancing guidelines, enhanced sanitation protocols, and much more to keep everyone safe onboard.

In conclusion, the Odyssey of the Seas is a modern maritime wonder that brings together innovation, entertainment, and adventure. The ship has a unique layout, with a perfect blend of technology and architecture, making it an exquisite masterpiece that would undoubtedly offer an experience of a lifetime. Odyssey of the Seas has its sights set on its maiden voyage in May 2021 from Haifa to the Greek Isles, but as with everything in the world today, we must all wait and watch. However, when Odyssey is ready to set sail, it will offer a truly unforgettable experience, and there is no doubt that it will be a popular choice among sea enthusiasts worldwide.
