Rock-Climbing Walls Coming Soon to a Cruise Ship Near You; Royal Caribbean Announces Plans to Outfit Entire Fleet With Signature Rock-Climbing Walls
MIAMI, March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Royal Caribbean International,
the cruise line that redefined traditional expectations of cruising by putting
rock-climbing walls onboard its newest cruise ships, today announced plans to
offer the popular feature fleetwide by November 2003.
First introduced on Voyager of the Seas in 1999, the rock-climbing walls
quickly captured national interest and became a star attraction on each new
Royal Caribbean ship that followed. The line's current plans call for the
walls to be retro-fitted on ships launched before 1999 and be installed on
three Royal Caribbean ships scheduled to debut in late 2003 and spring 2004.
"Over the past few years, the rock-climbing walls have become a brand icon
for us," said Dan Hanrahan, senior vice president, Marketing and Sales, Royal
Caribbean International. "They reflect a new attitude toward cruising and
epitomize the innovations and unexpected experiences guests enjoy on a Royal
Caribbean vacation. We offer many different ways for travelers to 'get out
there' whether it's snorkeling with stingrays or simply trying a new wine at
Chops Grille steakhouse or a new regional Italian dish at Portofino's, but
increasingly the rock-climbing walls have become the symbol of the active,
adventurous spirit we are known for."
Perched on the top decks, the rock-climbing walls challenge guests to
reach new heights and reward them with an unparalleled, bird's eye view of the
ship, sea and sky. On Voyager-class vessels, the top of the walls are nearly
200 feet above the ocean. The walls are designed to suit both beginners and
advanced climbers. Lessons are offered on every sailing by trained ship
staff.
Fleetwide installations begin in late May with Monarch of the Seas, which
will be refitted before arriving in her new homeport of Los Angeles. The
remainder of the ships will be outfitted with rock-climbing walls by the end
of the year: Majesty of the Seas (June); Sovereign of the Seas (July);
Rhapsody of the Seas (August); Enchantment of the Seas (August); Vision of the
Seas (October); Grandeur of the Seas (October); Splendour of the Seas
(October); Nordic Empress (November); and Legend of the Seas (November).
