Royal Caribbean\u2019s highly anticipated Star of the Seas sets sail to the open ocean for the first time.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nOver 11 days, over 2,000 experts from the naval architecture, engineering, navigation and design spaces are putting Star to the test across various technical examinations to ensure it\u2019s in ship shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From testing how the ship moves through the open water to pushing its engine performance to the limits and more, Star\u2019s journey will cover hundreds of miles before the ship enters its final construction phase at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Star will deliver eight neighbourhoods that are destinations in themselves for families and vacationers of all ages to make memories with a lineup of thrills like the fastest and tallest waterslides, seven pools and more than 40 ways to dine, drink and be entertained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ship will serve up seven-night vacations visiting Eastern or Western Caribbean destinations, including the vacation brand\u2019s top-rated destination, \u2018Perfect Day at CocoCay\u2019 in The Bahamas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
