Today, Royal Caribbean cruises from Southampton are legendary, with a plethora of cruises to Northern Europe and the Mediterranean emanating from this great port city. At present, the Vision of The Seas offers one cruise in 2011 while the Independence of the Seas is set to offer year round cruises from Southampton.
The Vision of The Seas cruise ship primarily sails to Northern European ports. This ship is in the mid-size range but offers big ship amenities. The most striking aspect of this cruise liner is the remarkable usage of glass in the public areas, which brings the force and beauty of the sea and land into the ship. There is actually an atrium, which they call the Centrum, that is seven decks high. There are also extensive glass roofs for viewing the sky and stars.
The Independence of The Sea offers a wide itinerary of Royal Caribbean cruises from Southampton. This is a gargantuan luxury ship that holds over four thousand passengers, and it focuses on sailing to the Western Mediterranean but also sails to the Canary Islands and select Northern European cities. This vessel offers a very relaxed, informal atmosphere in which kids can feel at home and partake of the numerous activities designed with them in mind. There are also excellent gym and spa facilities.
Royal Caribbean cruises from Southampton feature two of the most congenial ships in the fleet, which transport voyagers to some of the most tantalizing ports in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.
