Royal Caribbean Cruises

Have you ever wondered why there are a lot of people who have been dreaming to seek for greener pastures in the United States? Well, the story of Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCC) is not foreign to the situation. In fact the present proprietors of this shipping company, Norwegian entrepreneurs to be exact, were attracted to the brilliant proposal presented just for the reason that they want to ride with the flow of the flourishing American market.

When Edwin Stephan and Anne Wilhelmsen envisioned a huge community of overly affluent citizens coming altogether for a sole purpose of traveling, they sold their idea to some wealthy businessmen from Norway who did not think twice of buying the plan. Edwin Stephan was a popular entrepreneur while Anne Wilhelmsen was an academic investor. In just a matter of how many months, Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCC) began its operation.

It was in 1970 when Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCC) debuted. The Song of Norway was the corporation's first ever possession. 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 RCC's vessels which became a trademark.

However, it was in 1988 when Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCC) was able to find a niche in the industry. The breakthrough was through the introduction of the 700, 000 ton Sovereign of the Seas. Of course, at this juncture, the vessel is only of medium size as there are other constructed liners much more gigantic in mass. Albeit at that period, Sovereign of the Seas was considered as the mega yacht of the modern age.

Since RCC was growing, Monarch of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas were commenced. The Nordic Empress also followed which was much smaller compared to other of RCC's fleet and was even designed for less than a week. RCC then acquired Admiral Cruises, a firm that focuses in short travel where they transformed the name of Star Dancer into Viking Serenade, the only liner that was not originally built for the corporation.

Today, RCC continues to expand 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.
