The Radiance of the Seas Cruise
Ship in the Panama Canal |
Radiance of the
Seas is a cruise ship that is owned and operated by Royal
Caribbean International. She is registered in Nassau,
Bahamas, and is a gas-turbine vessel, the first built for
Royal Caribbean. This system produces higher efficient
speeds than other cruise ships, and emissions to the air are
much lower than cruise ships powered by diesel engines.
Radiance of the Seas is the flagship of the Radiance class,
which includes Jewel of the Seas, Radiance of the Seas and
Serenade of the Seas.
The
Radiance of the
Seas paid US $ 250'210.00 for its transit trough the Panama
Canal on April 24, 2008. |
