Royal Caribbean International plans to use more than 12,000 plants to create Central Park – a large green space in the middle of a giant cruise ships, the Oasis of the Sea. $ 1.5 billion, 220,000 ton ship will travel from Finland to Florida in November. Around November 11, the ship will have coffee and pineapple crops, as well as 56 mature trees, placed on board Central Park. Park will be about the size of a football field, and features more than 12,000 plants in all.

2700-cabin Ocean Oasis is scheduled to make its maiden voyage on December 5, to the Caribbean. The Oasis of the Seas nearly lost earlier this year when Royal Caribbean’s financing dried up. With the help of the Government of Finland, Royal Caribbean ships can finish – made in Turku, Finland.

I think a touch of luxury from a park on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship exactly what is intended to, create an experience that is almost a fantasy that can not be duplicated by other cruise ships. In a few years back, we’ll see if the cruise lines are very large investments will pay off or if the other cruise operators will accept the challenge.
