India has emerged as one of the world’s fastest growing outbound tourism economies, and cruising has become a hot travel option for those travellers who are on the lookout for exotic destinations and want to have a different holiday experience.
Cruising conjures up an image of style, luxury, elegance and entertainment, plus an unforgettable experience. If you along with your loved ones like to experience time on the sea, visiting some of the world’s most exciting destinations and places of amazing beauty, then Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited., a leading cruise line, has plenty to offer. The company has recently taken delivery of its newest freedom-class ship, Liberty of the Seas. The ship is the first in Royal Caribbean’s fleet to showcase new and distinctive wellness, family and wedding programming.
Speaking on the occasion, Gautam Chadha, Chief Executive, Tirun Travel Marketing, puts in, “Being an industry leader Royal Caribbean adds another feather in its cap with Liberty of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship”.
“From tots to teens to brides and wellness seekers, Royal Caribbean has kept all guests in mind when developing its original and enhanced programme,” he adds. Tirun Travel Marketing represents Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited and its three brands Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and the latest addition, the luxury deluxe cruise brand Azamara Cruises, in India.
At 160,000 GRT with a capacity of 3,634 guests, double-occupancy, travellers have a variety of choices on board, including a complete revamped vitality wellness programme, adventure theatre, the On Air Club, casino, boxing ring, H2O zone – water park, the ship’s karaoke venue, and the art deco-style platinum theatre (1,350 guests).
The Liberty’s 445 foot-long Royal Promenade keeps guests busy at one of the many restaurants, shops and lounges.
Options to chill
From an Italian-style pizzeria, Sorrento’s, to A Clean Shave – men’s barbershop – and the Hoof & Claw pub, cruisers have a wide variety of venues to visit and experience while onboard.
For an indoor chill, the ice-skating rink is open for lessons and free skating during the day and presents the spectacular original ice show Encore on Ice at night.
“If you stand Liberty of the Seas upright, this gigantic cruise ship is roughly the size of the Empire State Building. The exclusive distinct features like rock-climbing wall, FlowRidor surf simulator and full-sized basketball court with glass backboards are only available in the Liberty of the Seas and it makes it unmatched by others,” says Chadha. There are 1400 crewmembers on board. This will give an idea how enormous this cruise ship can be – 86,000 eggs, 8000 pounds of chicken, 11,000 pounds of seafood are consumed in a week.
Besides, 80,000 plates are being used and washed every day. More statistics? The length of Liberty of the Seas is equal to four Boeing 747 jets. A bigger way to fulfil your dream of visiting unforgettable exotic destinations.
Not only this, brides and grooms can have more distinctive settings with Explorer Weddings, allowing thrill-seekers the option of tying the knot on an Alaskan glacier, in a hot-air balloon or on Liberty’s FlowRider surf simulator, to name a few.
We’ve heard how the journey is often more important than the destination. Luxury like this sheds a whole new light on the phrase. And with journeys like this, who wants to reach the goal?
