Radiance of the Seas

Radiance of the Seas- the first and main ship in its class, Radiance. The liner was launched in 2001 and received numerous positive reviews for its design and service even then. However, ten years later, in 2011, RCCL invested over a million in the renovation of the ship. Changes were made to the cabins-they became more comfortable and technically updated, eight new restaurants were added, and the furniture and carpets throughout the liner were replaced. The main attraction of all Radiance-class ships is the panoramic windows, which create a magical play of light throughout the liner. Guests will not get bored on board: for active recreation, there is a rock climbing wall that rises 200 feet above sea level, and entertainment shows and parties are held by the pool and in the central atrium. A holiday on the liner will bring a lot of pleasure and positive emotions to all passengers without exception.

Total number of cabins on the liner: Out of thirteen decks, eight are designated for passenger accommodation. The fifth, sixth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth decks are non-residential. They are entirely devoted to restaurants and entertainment venues. Thanks to the large size of the liner, it can accommodate up to 2,500 guests at the same time. The ship features family cabins that can accommodate up to six people simultaneously.

Cabin categories: Interior cabins - ranging from 10 to 15 sq. m Oceanview cabins - ranging from 16 to 55 sq. m Balcony cabins - ranging from 15 to 18 sq. m Suite cabins with balconies - ranging from 34 to 107 sq. m All cabin categories feature two beds that can be transformed into one Queen Size bed if needed.
