The countdown is on for the debut of Royal Caribbean’s newly transformed Allure of the Seas.

Coming in April 2025, the ship will boast a US$100 million upgrade, complete with 35-plus ways to dine and drink, resort-style pools, new suites and more.

Following the success of the amplified Oasis of the Seas in 2019, Allure is the latest in Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class to be reimagined as part of its Royal Amplified program, which was first introduced in 2018.

Allure of the Seas’ resort-style pools

“Allure will be reimagined with the best of royal Caribbean and what travellers love. Between new favourites like the Pesky Parrot tiki bar, and experiences that unlock core memories time and time again, form an incredible pool deck to an unmatched combination of thrills and ways to chill, Allure will have even more of everything that makes it a standout favourite,” said Jay Schneider, Chief Product Innovation Officer, Royal Caribbean International.

Here are some highlights of the upgraded Allure of the Seas:

All-day Pool Days: 

Resort-style pools will be at the centre of the action on the reimagined Caribbean pool deck, alongside a wider variety of seating and shade across casitas, in-pool loungers, daybeds and more. For a laidback adults-only escape, the Solarium includes new touches like the Samba Grill and dedicated bars.
