Central Park is moving to the ocean — sort of.
Royal Caribbean will feature an area modeled after New York's Central Park in the center of its giant Project Genesis ship when it is delivered in late 2009 as the world's largest cruise vessel.
Spanning the length of a football field, the shipboard Central Park will include lush foliage, quiet walkways, restaurants, boutiques, an art gallery and a moving bar. (07/05)
