Royal Caribbean International took delivery of its newest ship, the Wonder of the Seas, from the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard in Marseille, France.<\/p>\n
The fifth ship in Royal Caribbean's Oasis class will make its official debut in Fort Lauderdale on March 4, launching seven-day cruises to the Caribbean. The Wonder will reposition to the Mediterranean this summer, sailing cruises from Barcelona and Rome.<\/p>\n
New for the Oasis class on the Wonder will be an eighth neighborhood, the Suite Neighborhood, which will have an elevated Suite Sun Deck with a plunge pool, bar, loungers and nooks. The first four ships in the Oasis class have seven zones called neighborhoods, such as the Boardwalk and Central Park.<\/p>\n
The ship will also introduce the Vue, a cantilevered bar high above the pool deck that has a colorful mosaic canopy overhead after sunset, and Wonder Playscape, a top-deck, underwater-themed adventure play area with slides, climbing walls and an interactive mural activated by touch.<\/p>\n

The ship's Fort Lauderdale cruises will sail in March and April and visit the line's private island destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay; Nassau, Bahamas; Roatan, Honduras; and San Juan, Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n
From Barcelona and Rome, the ship will visit Naples and Florence, Italy; Palma de Mallorca, Spain; and Provence, France.<\/p>\n
The Wonder will return to Florida to sail year-round out of Port Canaveral, starting in November.<\/p>\n
