Royal Caribbean opens the books on 2014 Med program
Royal Caribbean International has opened Jewel of the Seas’ 2014 summer Southern Caribbean season for sale and announced the cruise line’s 2014 Mediterranean cruises to complete its future Europe deployment. Liberty of the Seas, Navigator of the Seas, Serenade of the Seas, and Splendour of the Seas will sail the Mediterranean and augment recently announced Independence of the Seas, Adventure of the Seas, Brilliance of the Seas and Legend of the Seas in Northern Europe. Royal Caribbean’s 2014 Northern Europe cruises will open for booking on March 20, followed by its Mediterranean cruises on March 28. Many shore excursion options in Royal Caribbean’s Europe program are designed to allow families to further explore the sights and cultures of Europe together, such as seeing and climbing the 294 steps of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or share in making their own pizza in Sorrento with Pizza Making for Families from Naples. In Rome, the whole clan also can choose a tour of visit of Colosseum, Roman Forum, Venice Square, Navona Square and the Leonardo da Vinci Machines Exhibition in A Taste of Rome for Families, or visit the medieval village of Tarquinia and stop in a local family-owned Gelateria for a cone on Leisurely Tarquinia & Ice Cream Taste.

Most of Royal Caribbean’s 2014 Europe fleet will have undergone the cruise line’s fleet-wide revitalization program, delivering an expanded array of onboard dining options, such as the casual dining Park Café, Boardwalk Dog House, and Rita’s Cantina to more sophisticated culinary experiences such as Samba Grill Brazilian steakhouse, the new Viking Crown Lounge with a menu of appetizers in a re-conceptualized modern club atmosphere, Izumi Asian Cuisine and the Chef’s Table. Royal Caribbean’s youngest guests, ages six to 36 months, can enjoy the new Royal Babies and Tots Nursery, while three- to 11-year olds are led by college-accredited counsellors in educational and entertaining programs developed with Fisher Price in the complimentary Adventure Ocean program. Teens can hang out with peers in their own dedicated lounge and enjoy activities such as learning to mix music in Scratch DJ sessions or teen-only rock-climbing wall and FlowRider surf simulator sessions.
