The Royal Promenade neighborhood - the most expansive promenade at sea – continues to be the heart of the ship. Except now, it’s better than ever. For the first time, the Royal Promenade will have a mezzanine level that overlooks the space below and adds to the excitement.

The Promenade features Rising Tide, a levitating bar that ascends and descends over three decks, and enough shops and restaurants to entertain even the most traveled of travelers. By morning, enjoy a relaxed atmosphere over coffee and people watching. The ambiance becomes more energetic and vibrant in the afternoon with shopping, lunch or drinks in the pub. In the evening, the energy rises with parades, nightlife and entertainment for everyone. It’s a destination unto itself.

A natural evolution of the signature Royal Promenade featured on the cruise lines Voyager- and Freedomclass ships, the new design found on Oasis of the Seas will allow guests to have a physical connection with the neighborhood above – Central Park – as natural light cascades down from the sky. Giant glass-arched skylights, the Crystal Canopies, form a sculptured roof that will look up into Central Park and the sky beyond.

The unique Rising Tide bar – the first moving bar at sea – is an engineering feat that will span three decks and allow cruisers to enjoy a cocktail as they slowly descend from Central Park and arrive into the Royal Promenade.

Suspended above the Globe and Atlas Pub, is an unfurling bridge on hinged hydraulics which will create a spectacular, surprise element for guests. Incorporated into the pub’s facade, a giant copper globe “cracks open” as part of its unique construction and extends over the Royal Promenade as a bridge platform. A focal point of the Royal Promenade, the bridge will be approximately 10 feet above and adjacent to the entertainment area for performances.

Located towards the aft of the Royal Promenade, a mezzanine level will allow for sweeping views of the promenade and features the cruise line’s Schooner Bar, Adventures with Royal Caribbean International –
the line’s future cruise sales desk and the line’s loyalty member club, the Diamond Club.

Another first for the cruise line, the Royal Promenade will serve as the entry point for all guests embarking on Oasis of the Seas, rather than the traditional lower decks. A vast tree sculpture by international artist Larry Kirkland serves as an impressive welcoming spot.

The Royal Promenade continues to be the heart of the ship, with an exciting central area for guests to gather, dine, shop and be entertained.
