Royal Caribbean

Have you ever heard of a five- star hotel that floats on the water? It is not domiciled in any continent in the world because about every half an hour, it moves to reach a particular destination. Sounds pretty much interesting? Well, it really is because it is none other than the Royal Caribbean International (RCI). Among the most popular shipping corporations all over the globe, RCI is a luxury cruise liner.

The Royal Caribbean International (RCI) sails on the open ocean on a regular basis. RCI's main route is between the aquatic territories of the state of Florida and the islands of the Caribbean. In the industry where the company belongs, it is ranked second in terms of revenues with even a surplus of four billion US dollars. RCI owns a fleet of vessels where presently, it has twenty- eight under its cap. There are even 65, 000 berths that have signed a contract with them.

Royal Caribbean International's (RCI) story began in the eventful year of 1969. As you compare it to other firms, their humble beginnings were in a form of dreams but as for the RCI's brain children namely Edwin Stephan and Anne Wilhelmsen, an idea just struck both. Edwin Stephan was a popular entrepreneur while Anne Wilhelmsen was an academic investor. Both envisioned a huge community of overly affluent citizens in the United States coming altogether for a sole purpose of traveling.

Not yet named as Royal Caribbean International (RCI) then, Edwin Stephan and Anne Wilhelmsen presented their brilliant proposal to wealthy Norwegians who did not think twice of giving into the money- making scheme and invested huge amount of bucks. In just a matter of how many periods, RCI was born and began operations. However, since it was still in the early stages, the luxury cruise liner was not much heard of yet.

In 1970, RCI bought its first possession which was named, The Song of Norway. The humongous boat weighed about 18, 500 tons that can accommodate 700 individuals. Custom- made from the country of Finland, the said craft had a beautiful cocktail lounge where the brain children followed the design from the Seattle Space Needle. Later on, that same relaxation bar was constructed into other of RCI's vessels which became a trademark.

At this juncture, RCI continues to grow and has been incessantly adding new liners in order to ensure that they be able to provide excellent service sated with only the latest amenities.
