Odyssey of the Seas

Odyssey of the Seas is a Quantum Ultra class cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean International. She entered service in March 2021 and carries around 4,200 guests at double occupancy, placing her in the large ship category. Built at Meyer Werft in Germany, she has 16 passenger decks and was the first Royal Caribbean ship to feature the line's larger logo lettering on the hull.

The ship is designed around active pursuits and entertainment. Guests can try the FlowRider surf simulator, rock climbing wall, skydiving simulator and basketball court, while the North Star observation capsule rises more than 300 feet above sea level for wide views across the surrounding water. SeaPlex is a major activity space with bumper cars, arcade games and laser tag, giving families and groups plenty to do indoors.

Two70 is another distinctive venue, with large windows spanning two decks and offering broad ocean views during the day. In the evening, the space changes into an entertainment venue using lighting, video and other effects. The ship also introduced a production using 48 drones alongside live performers, adding another unusual element to its evening programme.

Dining and drinks are spread across 15 venues, giving guests a mixture of restaurants, casual options and bars. The pool deck has two resort style pools and shaded areas for relaxing, while The Lime and Coconut provides a multi level setting for drinks. The combination of indoor and outdoor venues means guests can choose between active spaces and quieter areas throughout the day.

Accommodation ranges from inside rooms with virtual balconies and oceanview staterooms to balcony cabins and suites. This provides options for different budgets and group sizes, with the larger suites offering additional living space.

Odyssey of the Seas suits families, active cruisers and travellers who enjoy having plenty of things to do on a large ship. The combination of SeaPlex, North Star, waterside activities, varied dining and evening entertainment gives the ship a lively character, while its range of lounges and outdoor spaces provides opportunities to slow down between activities.
