Royal Caribbean International's Allure of the Seas is set to undergo a $100 million refurbishment before debuting in Europe in April 2025. The ship will combine bold experiences and must-see destinations, including adventures in Provence (Marseille), France; Florence/Pisa (La Spezia) and Rome, Italy; Palma de Mallorca, Spain and more.
Following the renovation, Allure will include 35-plus ways to dine and drink, including the Pesky Parrot tiki bar. Other amenities will include resort-style pools, the 10-story dry slide—the Ultimate Abyss—and more.
Thrill and Chill
- Resort-style pools are at the center of the action on the renovated Caribbean pool deck, alongside a wider variety of seating and shade across casitas, in-pool loungers, daybeds and more. For a laidback adults-only escape, the Solarium introduces new touches, complete with the Samba Grill and dedicated bars.
- The Perfect Storm – The multistory trio, the Cyclone and Typhoon racing waterslides and the SuperCell champagne bowl, maxes out on thrill with twists and turns, whether racing friends and family or time.
- Splashaway Bay – The tots and tweens edition offers slides, water cannons, fountains, pools and whirlpools, plus two drench buckets that that make double the splash.
- The Lime & Coconut – The signature poolside bar, across two locations, serves up its popular classics and twists, live music and all the vibes day and night.
- El Loco Fresh – A poolside restaurant serving tacos, burritos and quesadillas.
Restaurants and Nights Out
- Pesky Parrot – Making its way to Allure following a debut on the new Utopia of the Seas, the Caribbean tiki bar serves up fruit-based cocktails made with rum, tequila and gin, alongside frozen drinks and surprises.
- Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade – All ages have a seat at the table to catch live games on dozens of TVs, play arcade classics and refuel on tasty bar fare and brews.
- The Mason Jar Southern Restaurant & Bar – Only on Wonder and Utopia of the Seas today, this hot spot is where Southern comfort food meets live country music and more.
Adventures
- Ultimate Abyss – This experience comprises 10 stories of twists, turns, lights and sounds. Plus, vacationers can try shaved ice in a variety of flavors—the latest addition to Wipe Out Bar’s menu.
- Royal Escape Room – Apollo 18: Lunar Landing – The latest of the Royal Escape Room lineup puts families and friends in the hot seat of the command center—in 1973—as they look for clues and solve complex puzzles to land Apollo 18 on the moon before time runs out.
- Laser Tag – The Studio B ice rink transforms into a glow-in-the-dark laser tag arena for vacationers to challenge each other and go head-to-head in Battle for Planet Z.
- Adventure Ocean – Kids can choose their own immersive adventures across a new layout. Highlights include climbable creations at Play Place, the AO Theater, hands-on art, science and tech at Workshop; physical, interactive games at Arena; the Hangout; plus dedicated programs to engage all the senses for babies and younger kids.
- Social298 – A 360-degree transformation of the teen spaces includes video games, music, movies and plenty of ways to kick back with new friends.
Allure will also see the addition of the new Ultimate Panoramic Suites above the bridge, with 200-degree ocean views. On deck is everything from Royal Caribbean’s signature entertainment across air, ice, water and stage; and thrills like rock climbing and FlowRider surf simulators to hot spots like Schooner Bar, the Bow & Stern English pub, Giovanni’s Table, American steakhouse Chops Grille; and more.
Following the success of the amplified Oasis of the Seas in 2019, Allure is the latest in the Oasis-Class to be renovated as part of Royal Caribbean’s "Royal Amplified" program, which was first introduced in 2018.
Allure will sail from five destinations in Europe in summer 2025 before heading to Fort Lauderdale, FL, in November 2025. Vacationers looking to get away to the tropics can choose from a lineup of six- to eight-night vacations to the eastern Caribbean and The Bahamas.
