Excerpts from RCI's Website
about the Empress of the Seas

Empress of the Seas* may be smaller than our other ships, but don't let its size fool you.

Its unique combination of smaller size and amazing amenities has put Empress of the Seas in a league of its own.

Ship Highlights;
Portofino Italian Restaurant
Latté-tudes
SM, a specialty coffee house featuring Seattle's Best Coffee®
Boleros Latin-theme lounge
Rock-climbing wall
