Oasis of the Seas

Client: Royal Caribbean International

Location: At Sea

Type: Cruise Ship

At 360 m long and 65 m high Oasis of the Seas was for many years the largest Cruise Liner in the world, expanding from a remarkable 45 m beam at the waterline to over 65 m wide on the upper decks. It boasts 2,700 staterooms, providing the capacity for 5,400 guests at full occupancy.

We were asked from the outset to look at the overall concept of the vessel and then as the design developed, we took responsibility for a range of key elements of the ship including the iconic open air Central Park, the new super-sized Royal Promenade that sits below it, and the Rising Tides bar that moves between the two.
