MS Radiance of the Seas is a cruise ship owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International. She is registered in Nassau, Bahamas, and is a gas-turbine vessel (GTV), the first built for Royal Caribbean. This system produces higher efficient speeds than other cruise ships, and emissions to the air are much lower than cruise ships powered by diesel engines.
Radiance of the Seas is the flagship of the Radiance class, which includes MS Jewel of the Seas, MS Brilliance of the Seas and MS Serenade of the Seas.
Radiance of the Seas is the first cruise ship to feature pool tables that are stabilized by a computer-controlled gyroscope. They adjust with the motion of the ship to keep the table-top level with the horizon. It has the most glass of any Royal Caribbean ship. She has 10 dining choices, a rock-climbing wall, mini-golf course, pools, and a water slide.
During the northern summer season, Radiance of the Seas operates in Alaska. In spring and fall, she visits the Hawaiian Islands, and in the winter season, the southern summer, she visits Australia and New Zealand. The inaugural Australian cruise of the performing arts on the Radiance of the Seas in November 2014 included, among others, Cheryl Barker, David Hobson, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Simon Tedeschi, Elaine Paige, Marina Prior, and John Waters.
