The first Tiffany & Co. at sea has opened on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas.

Sue Karalun shared this photo of the brand new store that opened on the ship earlier today.

Tiffany & Co. store is available for guests to shop at in the Central Park neighborhood of the ship, and replaces the Britto store that used to be in this location.

The Tiffany & Co. boutique will extend 875 square feet and feature meticulous attention to detail and noble materials, including marble, glossy lacquers, polished metals, cerused walnut paneling, velvet drapery and upholstered walls. 

“Nothing can compare to the Oasis-class vacation experience, a testament to Royal Caribbean’s 40 year legacy of innovation,” said Mark Tamis, senior vice president, Hotel Operations, Royal Caribbean International. “Tiffany & Co. is a distinguished global luxury brand and having a boutique on board will truly enrich the premium onboard experience for our guests. From surprising your loved one with a timeless keepsake to popping the question with the perfect engagement ring, what better way to remember a cruise adventure of a lifetime.”
