Oasis Class
The ships that redefined 'big' — and still do it better than anyone else.
Central Park, the Boardwalk, Broadway-quality theatre, an outdoor aqua theatre. Six sister ships that turned a cruise ship into a small city — and made it feel intuitive to navigate.
What defines this class
The Oasis experience, in plain English.
Size
Approximately 226,000–236,000 GT, 5,400–7,000 guests. Split into seven distinct neighbourhoods so the scale never feels overwhelming.
Style
Bold, entertainment-heavy, resort-scale. Central Park's real trees, the Boardwalk's carousel, the AquaTheater's diving shows — spectacle done with care.
Suits
Multi-generational families, groups of friends, first-time cruisers who want the classic big-ship experience, and anyone who loves live entertainment.
Standout features
What sets these ships apart.
A high-level look — we'll happily go deeper on any of these when we speak.
Central Park
An open-air park in the middle of the ship — real trees, quiet restaurants, live jazz in the evenings. Balcony cabins overlook it.
Broadway at sea
Full-length productions of Broadway shows — Cats, Grease, Mamma Mia! and Hairspray have all played the Oasis fleet.
The AquaTheater
An outdoor amphitheatre with high-diving performances — no other cruise line has anything like it.
Speciality dining variety
150 Central Park, Chops Grille, Wonderland, Izumi hibachi and more — the widest speciality line-up in the classic RC fleet.
The Boardwalk
A Coney Island-inspired neighbourhood at the stern — carousel, arcade, family restaurants, direct AquaTheater views.
Ultimate Family Suites
On Wonder and Utopia, the Ultimate Family Townhouse spans three decks with its own slide, garden and Boardwalk balcony.
