The Best Entertainment from Two Continents.

The Brilliance was built for entertainment, with extraordinary venues large and small. In the main three-story theater, Atlantis presents top talent from Europe and the USA with our signature shows, lavish Broadway-style productions, gay comedians, and some special guest stars. The intimate Colony Club features cutting edge cabaret acts, late night comedy, up-and-coming singers, and much more. Bombay Billiards features the world’s only self-leveling pool tables. And don’t miss our two unique piano bars in Schooner and Hollywood Club. Plus there’s always something happening in our own Video Bar, 4 additional lounges, and the fantastic (and occasionally crazy) Casino!

When you’re ready for a party, we’ll create a space for dancing unlike anything on land. The Brilliance’s wide-open decks are perfect for our stunning productions featuring concert-quality sound surrounded by amazing light and laser shows. Four of the world’s top gay DJs will entertain you all afternoon at our famous themed t-dances, and well into the night at Atlantis’ infamous evening parties. With a variety of music in many styles, we’re sure you’ll find a party that suits you.

Dining The Way You Want.

Dining is always a pleasure, and always on your terms on an Atlantis cruise. After a long day of exploring (or enjoying the pleasures onboard), you can relax in the spacious two-story restaurant with cuisine and wines from around the world. Meet friends at Chops Grille, our intimate steakhouse, or linger over superb authentic Italian food at Portofino. For a quick bite, have a casual meal in the Windjammer or Seaview Cafés, both open well into the night. As with all Atlantis cruises, we feature open seating, casual dress, and no assigned dining times. Ever.

A Stateroom Worth Coming Home To.

Most rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto spacious private balconies. All feature interactive television, voicemail, and private bathrooms. Plus, Royal Caribbean’s new comfort beds offer a luxurious pillow top mattress, seductive sheets, and cozy duvets. Perfect to rejuvenate you for another spectacular day.

Of course, what matters most is the superb service from Royal Caribbean’s friendly staff, always ready to make your vacation special and always with a smile.
