Oasis of the Seas: 5,606 berths, and 35 departures six hours' drive from Montreal

This is the fact that should settle many files, and it appears in no brochure. Our catalogue lists 125 departures on Oasis of the Seas: 89 from Fort Lauderdale and 35 from New York. Those 35 New York departures make her one of four Royal Caribbean ships out of 30 whose embarkation port can be reached by car from Quebec.

About six hours of driving from Montreal, no airport, no checked baggage, no connection. For a family of four or five, the gap against a flight to Florida is measured in hundreds of dollars and half a day of fatigue. The three other ships concerned are Independence of the Seas and Odyssey of the Seas, also from New York, and Vision of the Seas from Baltimore.

The hull figures

Delivered in 2009 by the STX Europe yard at Turku, Finland, Oasis of the Seas measures 361.8 metres and is rated at 226,838 gross tons. She has 18 decks in total, 16 of them accessible to guests, and carries 5,606 people at double occupancy with 2,181 crew. The ratio stands at 2.57 guests per crew member.

She is the first of her class and the oldest of the six. She was refitted in 2019, which puts her ahead of Symphony of the Seas from 2018, for which no refurbishment is documented to date. The age of a hull and the condition of a ship are two different things, and it is the second that matters for a week aboard.

What sixteen guest decks change

Sixteen accessible decks is six more than Vision of the Seas and six fewer than the Icon class. The neighbourhood design splits the space into distinct sectors rather than identical decks, which makes the ship easier to read than a similarly sized unit laid out differently.

The trade-off is still distance. A poorly chosen stateroom adds several minutes of walking to every trip, and over seven days that counts. We place our clients according to the lifts they will use most, not according to the deck number.

Sailing from New York: what to know

Oasis departures from New York leave from the Bayonne terminal in New Jersey, not from Manhattan. Long-stay parking is booked ahead and paid separately; it is never included in the cruise price, and our advisors confirm this before booking.

Itineraries from New York head for Bermuda and the Caribbean depending on the season. They are generally longer than Florida sailings, because the distance to the first port of call is greater.

Who she suits

Quebec families who want a very large ship without flying. Travellers who hesitate at the airport. Groups, because the drive is shared. A couple after quiet will be better served by a 2,000-berth unit; activity is part of the product on a ship carrying 5,606 people.

Our Royal Caribbean advisors confirm the exact fare, inclusions and applicable conditions before any booking, in line with Quebec consumer protection rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, for 35 of her 125 departures. Those sail from the Bayonne terminal in New Jersey, about six hours by road from Montreal. She is one of four Royal Caribbean ships out of 30 in that position.
She carries 5,606 guests at double occupancy, with 2,181 crew, giving 2.57 guests per crew member. Maximum capacity is contradicted between sources, so we do not publish it.
Eighteen decks in total, 16 of them accessible to guests. That is six more than Vision of the Seas and six fewer than the Icon class, a wide spread inside a single company.
Our catalogue lists 125 departures: 89 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and 35 from New York. The New York departures use the Bayonne terminal in New Jersey, not a Manhattan pier.
In 2009, at the STX Europe yard in Turku, Finland. She is the first ship of the Oasis class and the oldest of the six. She was fully refitted in 2019.
Her hull dates from 2009, but she was refitted in 2019. Symphony of the Seas, nine years newer, has no documented refurbishment to date. Hull age and ship condition are two different things.
She measures 361.8 metres and is rated at 226,838 gross tons. That is slightly less than Wonder of the Seas at 236,857 and well below Icon of the Seas at 248,663.
No, never. Long-stay parking is booked ahead and paid separately. Our advisors confirm what is and is not included before any booking.
Yes. They head for Bermuda and the Caribbean depending on the season, and generally run longer than Florida sailings because the distance to the first port of call is greater.
Three others: Independence of the Seas and Odyssey of the Seas, also from New York, and Vision of the Seas from Baltimore. The other 26 ships in the fleet require a flight.
Yes, particularly a Quebec family wanting to avoid the airport. Choose the stateroom around the lifts you will use most: over 361.8 metres, a badly placed cabin adds several minutes to every trip.
Less well. With 5,606 guests at double occupancy, activity is part of the product. A couple after silence will be better served by a 2,000-berth ship such as Grandeur of the Seas.
It is 2.57, that is 5,606 divided by 2,181. Measured across the 16 fleet ships publishing both figures, the ratio runs from 2.38 on Harmony of the Seas to 3.00 on Voyager of the Seas.
About six hours, not counting stops or the border crossing. Many families leave the day before and sleep near the terminal, which removes all pressure on embarkation morning.
