One of Royal Caribbean's beautiful Radiance Class cruise ships, Brilliance of the Seas can be found cruising throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East. While walking around this ship's seven-story glass-walled atrium and glass elevators, you're sure to appreciate the expert craftsmanship that went into it all.

Royal Caribbean allows their guests to choose between Traditional (assigned) and My Time (open) dining, giving them the flexibility and freedom to enjoy their vacation the way that they prefer to do so. On board Brilliance of the Seas, there's many dining venues. Among them are the multi-level main dining room, Windjammer Café (featuring buffet-style breakfasts and lunches, as well as restaurant-style dinners), the Seaview Café (which has outdoor seating), a couple of upscale, specialty restaurants, as well as 24-hour room service.

You should never run out of things to do on a Brilliance of the Seas cruise. Some of the most popular places to be on board this ship are the Pacifica Theatre (home to live shows on each night of your cruise, including Broadway-style production shows), the Solarium (an elegant space, with a swimming pool and whirlpool), the full-service spa (which includes a beauty salon) and fitness center, as well as an art gallery, library, internet cafe and photo gallery.

As far as accommodations go, there's a wonderful variety available on board Brilliance of the Seas. There are inside cabins, oceanviews, balconies, junior suites and full suites. Staterooms on this ship range in size from 165 all the way up to 1,001-square feet.
