Innovation At Sea; Royal Caribbean’s History Of First-To-Sea Concepts Progresses With Launch Of Symphony Of The Seas

When she sets sail on her maiden voyage in 2018, Symphony of the Seas joins an elite portfolio of ‘first-at-sea’ evolutions as part of Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class liners. Royal Caribbean has long been a pioneer of the cruise industry, never settling for less than the world’s most exclusive or innovative concepts.

In the early 1990’s, the cruise line unveiled one of its signature elements on Sovereign of the Seas, the Viking Crown Lounge, which wrapped around the funnel of the ship and served as the ultimate “observation deck” for cruisers. This design allowed for sweeping views of the sea providing an aesthetically pleasing look to the top decks of the Sovereign-class ships.
