Empress of the Seas may be smaller than our other ships, but dont let its size fool you. Youll find everything youve come to expect onboard a Royal Caribbean ship, like panoramic ocean views from the two-story ShipShapeDay Spa and Fitness Center, romantic dinners in Portofino, our specialty Italian restaurant and dancing in the Latin-themed bar, Boleros. Its unique combination of smaller size and amazing amenities has put Empress of the Seas in a league of its own. The former Nordic Empress will undergo some exciting renovations before its officially renamed Empress of the Seas this May
