Your floating resort

The Brilliance of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's second Radiant-class ship. She provides ample activities and is renowned for the great crew members that are extremely friendly and helpful. This includes the ship's entertainment staff, room attendants, waiters and spa staff. Even though this is a very large ship it never feels crowded because of its innovative design.

It's a truly beautiful vessel with acres of glass, which allows for unencumbered views of the sea and sunrise and sunset. They also cater for guests of all ages, even babies as young as six months old. For the more outdoorsy types, there are lots of activities, whether you want a relaxing round of mini golf or feel the adrenaline pumping at the rock-climbing wall.

Chef's Table

While the Brilliance of the Seas' Chef's Table comes with a hefty cover charge, it's one of those exclusive experiences that will stay with you forever. If you can afford this culinary treat, you'll enjoy it at a private dining table which seats a maximum of fourteen people.

The dinner is a five-course menu of gourmet dishes prepared by the night's featured chef, and carefully and expertly paired with the perfect companion fine wines. You will need to make a reservation and can join the other guests for a pre-dinner drink before sitting down to enjoy your feast of flavours.
