A whole season of cruising in the Mediterranean

Allure of the Seas will depart from Barcelona for 7-day/8-night cruises and will call at Palma de Mallorca, Marseille, Florence, Rome and Naples. This is the first time a ship of this size will sail the Mediterranean for an entire season.

Allure of the Seas, a new destination in itself

This cruise behemoth has seven themed districts in which there are numerous public spaces each hosting an impressive array of entertainment and dining options âeuros 32 restaurants and bars spread across the 16 passenger decks. Innovation is everywhere on Allure of the Seas, especially in the entertainment: Aquatheater (acrobatic theater in the pool), Studio B (an ice rink), Central Park (the first garden on board a ship with more than 12,000 natural plant species), a climbing wall, a zip line, two surfing pools, a real carousel in the Boardwalk area, original Broadway musicals like Mamma Mia (starting in June), an even wider variety of restaurants, the comfort of original loft-style cabins and suites.
