One of the largest Royal Caribbean ships at sea is about to get a major glow-up.

The Miami-based line announced Tuesday that the massive 225,282-ton Allure of the Seas will head to the shipyard early next year for a $100 million overhaul.

The renovation will include the addition of new Ultimate Panoramic Suites atop Allure’s bridge, offering 200-degree ocean views. Other changes will include a vamped-up Caribbean pool deck with upgraded loungers and cabanas, new top-deck attractions, an expansion of the adults-only solarium area, upgraded kids’ and teens’ hangouts, and new dining and bar venues.

Allure’s makeover has been a long time coming. Beginning in 2018, the line’s “Royal Amplified” program includes significant renovations for Voyager Class, Freedom Class and Oasis Class ships. Allure was set to receive a major “amplification” in 2020.

However, the update was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That left the Allure as the only Oasis Class ship without some major new features put on other ships, such as the Ultimate Abyss Dry Slide. Most notably, the Allure is the only Oasis class ship without waterslides. These missing elements will eventually be added during the ship’s 2025 overhaul.

During the update, Royal Caribbean plans to add its popular top-deck attractions to Allure of the Seas, including the waterslide trio The Perfect Storm, the Splashway Bay water zone for younger passengers and an expanded version of the poolside bar The Lime & Coconut.

New dining and drink options will include Caribbean-themed tiki bar Pesky Parrot, which replaces Utopia of the Seas (it replaces the line’s bionic bar and robot bartender). In addition, the ship will finally get The Mason Jar Southern restaurant and bar, currently only on Wonder of the Seas and Utopia of the Seas. A Playmakers sports bar and arcade will also be added to the Allure during the renovation.

Allure of the Seas, the second of Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class ships, was launched in 2010. The vessel will enter the shipyard for an overhaul in February 2025 and will introduce her new look in April 2025.

After that, Allure of the Seas will cruise the Mediterranean from Barcelona during the summer of 2025 before heading to Fort Lauderdale in November 2025. The ship will sail six- to eight-night Caribbean vacations in the Eastern Caribbean and the Bahamas, with stops on Royal Caribbean. Private islands Perfect Day (opening late 2025) at Cocoaque and Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas.
