 JEWEL OF THE SEAS
A sparkling addition to the fleet
Kathy Mellor, America's National Teacher of the Year for 2004, officially named Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas at a special ceremony in Southampton on May 7, 2004.
After the christening, the 2,112-passenger ship, built at Meyer Werft Yard in Papenburg, Germany, embarked on a series of 12-night cruises from Harwich to Scandinavia, Russia, the Norwegian Fjords and around the British Isles.
The activities and amenities are just as diverse as her itineraries. The elegant ship includes a spectacular, two-storey main dining room; an exotic Thailand-themed, adults-only Solarium with a retractable glass roof; two intimate specialty restaurants; and the full-service ShipShape Day Spa, equipped with a thermal suite, which includes heated tile loungers facing the ocean, an aromatherapy steam room, a sauna and tropical rain showers.
Jewel of the Seas also has a playful side, including active options such as Royal Caribbean's signature rock-climbing wall, a jogging track, a basketball and volleyball court, ping pong tables, a nine-hole miniature golf course, the ShipShape Fitness Center and two self-leveling, gyroscopic pool tables.
The Adventure Ocean Youth Programme offers guests ages 3 to 17 activities ranging from scavenger hunts and sports tournaments to art and science workshops. Teens have their own exclusive hangout, Fuel nightclub, complete with a soda bar, dance floor and DJ music.
The whole family can head to the Coral Theater at night for one of Jewel's three incredible stage productions. In addition, a variety of comedians, singers, piano players and musicians appear throughout Jewel's numerous bars and lounges.
