Fourth Oasis-class ship on order for Royal Caribbean
Royal Caribbean has ordered a fourth Oasis-class cruise ship, two years before the third is due to enter service.
During the keel laying ceremony of that third ship, Royal Caribbean announced the order for a fourth, due for completion by 2018.
Both new Oasis ships will be built at the STX France shipyard at Saint-Nazaire, France.
The third ship currently being built with space for 6,300 passengers, will be significantly larger than the first two – Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas.
Since launching in 2009, Oasis-class cruises command premium prices due to the range of shipboard amenities offered, such as a very own mini ‘Central Park’ with over 2,000 live trees and plants.
"Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas continue to be in a class by themselves both in terms of guest satisfaction and financial returns," said RCCL CEO Richard Fain.
