Ship
Brilliance of the Seas
Royal Caribbean
Enjoy the classic delights of Royal Caribbean on a smaller ship without the crowds. The Brilliance of the Seas was launched in 2002 and refurbished in 2018 - being the second ship of the four-ship Radiance class fleet. This sleek yacht-like ship combines panoramic vistas and wide-open spaces with acres of glass enclosing the nine-storey central atrium. This ship is more modest in size so as not to be overwhelming, carrying just 2112 passengers over 13 decks, at 90,090 tonnes and 962 feet in length. There are 3 swimming pools, 14 restaurants, a theatre, casino and also the Vitality at Sea Spa. This ship has traditionally been popular with British cruisers due to some great spaces on board which are not found on the larger ships. The indoor adult only solarium pool is particularly tranquil and atmospheric carrying the colonial theme through to other areas such as the Jakarta Bar, Colony Club and Singapore Slings. There is an outdoor movie screen by the main pool and The Viking Crown is the pace to be late at night where you will find the Starquest nightclub with its quirky revolving bar. This makes the perfect place to enjoy the 1970's disco party featured on every cruise.
