Freedom on the seas!

Travel Here is an option to explore the seas in luxury



IN THE LAP OF LUXURY Liberty of the Seas

India has emerged as one of the world’s fastest growing outbound tourism economies, and cruising has become a hot travel option for those on the lookout for exotic destinations and a different holiday experience.

Cruising conjures up an image of style, luxury, elegance and entertainment. If you along with your loved ones like to travel by sea to some of the world’s most exciting destinations, then Royal Caribbean Cruises 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.

From tots to teens to brides and wellness seekers, Royal Caribbean has kept all guests in mind when developing its original and enhanced programme. Tirun Travel Marketing represents Royal Caribbean Cruises 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 while on board.

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.

The distinct features of the luxury liner include a rock-climbing wall, FlowRidor surf simulator and full-sized basketball court with glass backboards. There are 1,400 crewmembers on board. 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?
