Overview of Brilliance of the Seas


The 2,501-passenger Brilliance of the Seas joined the Royal Caribbean International fleet in 2002 as the second ship in the Radiance Class. She is most loved for her excellent dining options.


Onboard Experience

Accommodation

Royal Caribbean has redefined the cruising experience one room at a time. Aboard Brilliance of the Seas, there are four cabin categories to choose from; Interior, Ocean View, Balcony and Suite. Each provides an alluring escape from the non-stop action elsewhere on board.

Enjoy facilities for the whole family with Interior Staterooms, savour the seaside and snapshots of landscapes from shore-to-shore with an Ocean View Stateroom, claim your slice of paradise with balcony views just outside your door with a Balcony Stateroom or take advantage of extra space, more amenities and breathtaking views in a Suite.

Dining

Taste food from around the world at Windjammer on Deck 11, the go-to restaurant for tantalising global flavours served complimentary at breakfast, lunch and dinner. No matter what you’re in the mood for, you’ll find it at Windjammer - plus, there are plenty of gluten-free and vegetarian options on offer. For fast casual food head to Park Cafe on Deck 11 where dialled-up deli bites knock it out the park. Whether you want breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack, the Park Cafe menu offers something for everyone.

Craving some caffeine and a sweet treat? Cafe Latte-Tudes on Deck 5 has just what you need. From a nice breakfast blend to get you going to an after-dinner cappuccino, you’ll find all your favourite sweets and speciality coffees here.

The most exclusive table on Brilliance of the Seas, Chef’s Table is as intimate as can be. Located on Deck 6, you’ll join a small group of fellow foodies on a private epicurean journey led by the ship’s Chef de Cuisine. Enjoy exquisite dishes such as scallop carpaccio with yuzu vinaigrette and crispy quinoa, Maine lobster salad or roasted branzino with grilled vegetables and lemon confit alongside a sommelier-selected glass of premium red or white wine.

Entertainment

Throughout your cruise aboard Brilliance of the Seas, you’ll have the opportunity to attend guest lectures. From stargazing to mediation and tonnes of topics in between, you’ll hear experts from different fields give insights and offer new perspectives. Expand your mind even further at one of the language lessons on board. Say ciao, hola or salut as you immerse yourself in the language of the locals; learn greetings, phrases and questions so you can enjoy chatting to the locals while in port.

Spend the afternoon with seasoned chefs creating culinary masterpieces right before your eyes as you embark on a culinary class. Get the tips and techniques to create your own gourmet starters, main courses and desserts - return how ready to rock the kitchen. Speaking of rocking, fancy a dance class? Salsa, swing or cha cha your way into the ballroom with one of the exciting dance classes found on board. Later, bring your newfound skills to Brilliance of the Seas’ dancefloor.

Lights, camera, action! Brilliance of the Seas has a plethora of impressive original productions such as Center Stage, where outstanding singers and dancers showcase various styles of music from classical jazz to rock and swing and Now and Forever, a modern-day showcase of a Broadway classic. You can also enjoy a different live concert each night in one of the many live music venues of Brilliance of the Seas. Watch world-class musicians perform your favourite songs or explore a new sound with excellent cover bands. The music doesn’t stop there, however, get yourself ready to head to funky town! Turn back the clock to an era of polyester, platform shoes and non-stop partying at the 70s Disco Party.

Make sure you’ve packed your game face! Bring your skills for game thrills with the onboard game shows. Take on the challenges in Love & Marriage, Battle of the Sexes and the adults-only Quest. Join in with the fun as a star or a spectator - the choice is yours.
