Royal Caribbean Takes Cruise Ship Entertainment to New Levels with Aquatheatre
Miami, June 18, 2008 – With its Broadway-style stage shows, the first
and only ice show at sea, and lively parades leading down the center of its
ships, Royal Caribbean International is known for remarkable performances in
spectacular venues. In its latest innovation, the progressive cruise line
introduces AquaTheater, an impressive outdoor venue at the stern of the
world’s largest ship, Oasis of the Seas. Located off the ship’s Boardwalk
neighborhood, this amphitheater-style space will celebrate water with a full
spectrum of activities and performances throughout the day and into the night
with a backdrop of the ocean across the horizon. The first of its kind,
AquaTheater will be a complete sensory experience that plays on the element of
surprise, as the latest technology and design features amaze guests.
Created to offer two unique environments, guests will be able to swim in the
theater’s magnificent kidney-shaped pool, relax on sun loungers located on
tiered platforms surrounding the pool, and even participate in SCUBA lessons in
the afternoon. At night, audience members witness the venue come alive with
heart-pounding performances which feature dramatic acrobatics, synchronized
swimming, water ballet, and high-diving performances, as well as fountain shows
synchronized to music and lights.
AquaTheater Fast Facts
AquaTheater Pool
- The largest and deepest freshwater pool at sea will be 21.9 feet (6.6
meters) by 51.6 feet wide (15.7 meters), with a depth of 17.9 feet (5.4
meters)
- Fitted with three stage machinery devices, the pool’s depth will rise or
fall to meet the needs of each performance and for its various functions
throughout the day
- Three custom lifts built into the pool will allow for intricate and
multilevel performances
- Underwater cameras will film performers and project images onto two giant
Barco® LED screens that will flank the stage
Water Show Performances
- Throughout the evenings, the AquaTheater pool will come alive with
beautiful choreographed fountain shows, amid hundreds of water nozzles –
some with capabilities of shooting water 65 feet (20 meters) high –
programmed to music and lights
- A giant trampoline will be centered between two diving towers allowing
gymnasts and aerialists to flip and dismount into the pool
- The diving tower will include two spring boards and two 10-meter high dive
platforms
- A bridge connects the two high dive boards which can support an entire row
of divers. On the underbelly of this bridge will be lights and nozzles that
allow for water to fall like a curtain down into the pool below
- A trapeze will hang behind the high dive boards to give the appearance
that trapeze artists are climbing the curtain of water
