Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, one of the world’s largest cruise ships, will begin offering cruises out of the New York City area in 100 days.
Oasis of the Seas is the cruise line’s first Oasis class ship and a vessel that kicked off a new era of mega cruise ships. The ship recently received a $165 million makeover that saw a long list of upgrades added to the vessel that include the tallest slide at sea, robot bartenders, a trio of waterslides, laser tag, an escape room, and new dining options.
Oasis of the Seas will sail out of Bayonne, New Jersey and will be the largest cruise ship to ever homeport in the New York City area. The ship will begin offering seven night cruises out of Cape Liberty Cruise Port on May 10, 2020. View Prices on Cruises on Oasis of the Seas
