Oasis of the Seas will truly be an architectural and nautical marvel with spectacular onboard elements and features never before seen on a cruise ship.
 For example, the breathtaking Boardwalk was inspired by both the seaside piers that dot the coast of England and the nostalgic boardwalks of yesteryear such as Coney Island. Boardwalk will be an area for the entire family to enjoy together, whether young or just young at heart. The elements of the Boardwalk will be a dynamic way to engage families in classic fun with a colorful original carousel as well as eateries, retail outlets and carnival games. Signature elements of the Boardwalk include:

- A remarkable outdoor venue at the stern of Oasis of the Seas with a backdrop of the ocean across the horizon, AquaTheater will be an amphitheater-style space celebrating water with a full-spectrum of day and night options including professional diving and theatrical performances. The first of its kind and the most technologically-advanced area of the ship, AquaTheater will be a complete sensory experience that plays on the element of surprise, as the latest technology and design features amaze audience members.
- The centerpiece of Boardwalk will be a one-of-a-kind carousel - the first-ever at sea. Hand-crafted from poplar wood especially for Royal Caribbean, the full-sized, traditional carousel will take six to eight months to complete. It will feature 21 figures suspended from stainless steel poles showcasing a time-honored menagerie of animals such as zebras, giraffes and lions, alongside a variety of hand-painted horses including a princess horse and a crowned frog prince. The frame of the carousel will have a red and golden yellow facade, turn-of-the-century artwork scenery panels, and LED lights that twinkle during the day and night.
- A thrilling new feature, a zip line will be suspended nine decks above Boardwalk, giving adventurers a birds-eye view of the action below, as the rider speeds diagonally across the open air atrium - a distance of more than 82 feet (25 meters).
