Central Park takes to the seas when Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas sets sail late 2009. The 220,000 gross tons of Oasis will feature a park a football-field long complete with formal gardens. Known as Central Park, the area will include three themed gardens, bars, restaurants and boutiques as well as 300 staterooms that rise six-decks high and overlook the park.

The QE2’s replacement, the Queen Mary 2, weighs in at 150,000 gross tons and carries 2,620 passengers and 1,253 crew members. She is the largest ocean liner ever built, although she was surpassed in gross tonnage with the construction of the Freedom of the Seas. A throwback to the golden age of ocean travel, the QM2 boasts a Grand Lobby more than three decks high with two sweeping grand staircases. The ship has the largest library at sea, with more than 8,000 books and the sea’s only planetarium. Five swimming pools, an art gallery with works by Dali, Chagall, Erte and Picasso, a 2,000-square-foot spa and a casino are among the QM2’s amenities.

The sister ship of Freedom of the Seas, is the first of the new sailing behemoths to have her headquarters in Europe.The 160,000-ton liner, boasts a central promenade lined with shops, bars and restaurants and the Skylight Chapel, a wedding chapel with room for 40 guests. To make British passengers feel at home, kettles have been installed in all cabins so they can brew their own tea.
