This will be a luxury cruise liner like no other. Part of the Royal Caribbean International cruise line (based in Florida), the Oasis of the Seas will set the company back by about US$ 1.24 billion when completed in late 2009.

It has seven dictinct neighbourhoods with all the features and amenities you would find in a small city. Seven distinct themed areas that it would have include: Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone. A central park will be open to the sky with lots of greenery, variety of restaurants, bars, shops, salons, museum, cinemas, amphitheatre, four pools, sports zones, fitness centres and more. If any of this interests you, you can head over to their website and register for the first cruise.
