Launch of the hot new programs at Royal Caribbean, just in time for your next cruise vacation, part of the IMTM exhibition

Royal Caribbean, the prestigious global cruise-ship corporation, operated in Israel by Sunorama Cruises, will exhibit at IMTM the best and latest innovations in the cruise-ship sector, and will unveil the operation of its new cruise-ship Harmony of the Seassm, in sight of the upcoming 2016 cruise season.

The world of the all-family cruise vacation is about to get a substantial upgrade with the final preparations for Royal Caribbean’s new cruise-ship, Harmony of the Seassm’, maiden voyage in the Mediterranean, sailing off from Barcelona this coming May, 2016.

The new cruise-ship offers new standards for innovation, programs and attractions, yet to be seen in cruise vacations, and presented for the first time at the IMTM exhibition, the 22nd International Mediterranean Tourism Market, 9-10 February 2016, at the TLV convention center.

During the exhibition Sunorama will unveil Harmony of the Seassm, the worlds’ biggest and most advanced Oasis class cruise-ship, with facilities and services never before seen on cruise vacations!
Among the major advances:

• The ship was planned with a revolutionary design concept in mind, separating it into seven distinctly different themed “neighbourhoods”, such as “Central Park” named after the famous Manhattan location, which is open air, with live vegetation, gardens that inspire a magical tropical atmosphere, a boardwalk, restaurants, cafes, bars and shops, or “Boardwalk”, another open-air area, an entertainment zone that includes an old-times’ children’s carousel, climbing walls and other recreation facilities, and the main attraction – a huge open-air theater, that holds water-aquatics shows.
• An adrenaline filled world – with more slides than any other cruise-ship. The main new attraction that guests will enjoy is most definitely the Ultimate Abyss slide, a “dry” (non-water) slide that is 10-deck tall and operates on gravity alone, for an exciting speedy slide down, and a soft pleasant landing. Next to the Ultimate Abyss there are 3 more 5-deck high water slides, a water-park with a splash bay, and numerous other all-family adventures and experiences that will not keep you dry for long.
• A new 7-nights weekly Mediterranean route, passing through Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Provence, Italy and more.
