Central Park is moving to the ocean -- sort of.

Royal Caribbean Cruises said that an area resembling New York’s Central Park will be featured in the center of its Project Genesis ship when it is delivered in late 2009 as the world’s largest cruise vessel. Spanning the length of a football field, Central Park will include lush foliage, quiet walkways, restaurants, boutiques, an art gallery and a moving bar.

The area also will feature concerts and street performances, providing the feeling of an outdoor space. The 225,000-gross-ton Project Genesis will carry 5,400 passengers and sail from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
