Royal Caribbean has released new photos from around the finished spaces on its newest cruise ship.
Odyssey of the Seas arrived in Haifa, Israel this week to prepare for her upcoming inaugural sailings, and Royal Caribbean has peeled back the curtains a bit to showoff some of the areas onboard.
The 16-deck-high, 1,138-foot-long ship is one of the largest ships in the world, and can accommodate 4,180 passengers.
Odyssey of the Seas is the second Quantum Ultra Class ship, which is essentially a stretched and enhanced version of the original Quantum Class ships.
The first Quantum Ultra Class ship, Spectrum of the Seas, debuted in 2019, and sails from China. Odyssey of the Seas will be the first Quantum Ultra Class ship to sail from Europe and North America, marking a significant arrival to these markets.
Let's take a look around the brand new Odyssey of the Seas!
SeaPlex
The SeaPlex is the largest indoor and outdoor activity center at sea.
The SeaPlex itself has been reworked compared to other Quantum Class ships to offer more to do, with the removal of pods and the addition of a large screen and new venues.
Located inside the SeaPlex, Playmakers has a new prime location that features lots of TVs around the bar to keep up with games back home. But it also offers views of the games on the court below.
Sky Pad
On the back of the ship, you will find a number of activities, including the Sky Pad.
The Sky Pad is a complimentary activity and it is a virtual reality, bungee trampoline adventure.
Guests put on a VR headset, and then get strapped into a bungee harness that allow them to easily jump on trampolines while traversing a virtual world only they can see.
In addition to the Sky Pad, Odyssey of the Seas offers a skydiving simulator with Ripcord by iFly, Flowrider surf simulator, and more.
Caribbean-inspired Pool Deck
Another first for any Quantum Class ship is the enhanced pool deck, first seen on the Royal Amplified cruise ships over the last few years.
The ship's pool deck has been reimagined to match Navigator and Oasis of the Seas pool deck designs, which feature a bright Caribbean vibe.
Most notably, the indoor pool feature for all guests is now open air.
Also located on the pool deck is The Lime & Coconut bar, and El Loco Fresh eatery.
Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar
At the revamped Giovanni's, you can "enjoy rustic Italian dishes with a contemporary flair."
Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar is an update to Royal Caribbean's well-known specialty restaurant. The menu has been completely overhauled, and now features hand-tossed pizzas, homemade pasta and a complete charcuterie station.
Social180
Space for kids and teens is always a top priority for Royal Caribbean, and teens can enjoy Social180 just for them.
This exclusive hangout is where young adults can kick back with friends over the latest in music, games and movies, and enjoy The Patio, a private outdoor deck with sweeping ocean views, outside games and seating.
Teppanyaki
One of the most popular specialty restaurants on any Royal Caribbean ship is the hibachi restaurant, and Odyssey of the Seas will feature a dedicated Teppanyaki restaurant.
Izumi hibachi is a teppanyaki-style restaurant, which is sometimes referred to as a “Japanese steakhouse." Made famous by Benihana restaurants, the experience combines cooking and service into one fun performance.
Chefs cook in front of you as you enjoy a show with your meal being prepared.
