Right : 'Gates of Dreams' is composed of stainless steel, gold-plated brass, float glass, and acrylic. It is constructed from layers of float glass and laser-cut stainless steel shapes. 'Gates of Dreams' alludes to the mythological gates through which dreams pass - some to delude and some to be fulfilled. | |

The focal masterpiece in Vision of the Seas' Centrum is 'Ariel' designed by Peter Layton and Simon Moss. They also created 'Janus' for sister ship Legend of the Seas. 'Ariel' from Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' is a suspended structure in float glass, stainless steel, gold plated brass and acryllic. The sculpture is a visual fantasy representing a dancing spirit-like figure. In Shakespeare's 'The Tempest', Ariel is described as an airy will-of-the-wisp, invisible at will, all light and spirit, symbolizing man's imagination and vision. In his final speech, Prospero entreats Ariel to ensure "calm seas, auspicious gales and sail so expeditious that shall catch the Royal Fleet far off". The sculpture's jewel-like shapes combine scale with delicate detailing. The polished surfaces absorb and reflect a myriad of colors and sparkling highlights. Soaring, elegant forms and graceful flowing movement enhance and focus the drama of the Centrum space. |

Located aft
of the Centrum on deck four is the entrance to the lower level of the
Aquarius Dining Room. The Aquarius Dining Room seats 1,200 guests
in two sittings.
The Aquarius Dining Room was designed by Robert Tillberg Design, AB, Sweden. The architects chose a Nordic look for the dining room with light birch panels and dark blue base. This was to create a more airy feel and also suggest a theme of astronomy and space. |
