Take a Look at Royal Caribbean's "Project Genesis"

She'll be the largest cruise ship at sea when she launches late next year. As yet unnamed, Royal Caribbean's Project Genesis weighs in at 220,000 tons and will accommodate 5,400 passengers (double occupancy) in 2,700 staterooms.

While Royal Caribbean has been mum regarding her features, they broke the ice today by revealing that "Central Park" will be the focal point of the ship.

"Building such a large vessel allowed us to add even more of the choices and amenities that our guests value and Central Park is a dramatic addition to our already extensive array of exciting features," said Richard D. Fain, Chairman & CEO, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. "Central Park is the first of many dynamic neighborhoods on Project Genesis which will enable each guest to find his or her own space and activity."

Get a look at the neighborhoods, including artists' renderings of the restaurants, interior-facing balconies, and other public spaces at CruiseDiva.com. We're particularly excited about the Rising Tide bar, a movable lounge that should excite even the most jaded cruisers. Rising Tide will span three decks and allow passengers to enjoy a cocktail as they slowly ascend into Central Park and then descend back into the public spaces below.
