Rhapsody of the Seas is a Vision Class cruise ship for Royal Caribbean International. She sails Western Caribbean itineraries year-round out of ports along the Gulf Coast. Onboard amenities include a full-service spa, two swimming pools, six bars, a pizzeria, and a Ben and Jerry's ice-cream parlor.
Royal Caribbean announced in July 2007 that the ship will be re-positioned to sail to Australia. The company is trying to open up new cruise markets for their vision class ships. Shortly before her reposition, Rhapsody of the Seas will be sailing Alaska replacing her sister ship, Vision of the Seas. Rhapsody of the Seas will sail 7 nights at the least, and 16 at the most.
