Lyric Theater, Adventure of the Seas
Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines

The 1,288 seat Lyric Theater, on board the ship Adventure of the Seas, is the third theater designed for Royal Caribbean’s Voyager Class by Wilson Butler Architects. One of the design’s primary sources of inspiration is from the Art Nouveau movement -- a simple single object, a peacock feather. Art Nouveau was inspired by organic shapes and in its architecture, as in the natural world, nothing is truly linear.

The overall design includes a color palette of jewel tones ranging from cool blues and greens through metallic bronzes, and imitates the interaction of light on translucent fabrics. In typical Art Nouveau fashion, the space is full of delicate metalwork, rich materials and swirling lines of detail.
