When you cruise with Royal Caribbean, you’re in for a holiday that’s anything but ordinary.

Spend your days exploring the ship’s vibrant neighbourhoods. Wander through the leafy Central Park and stop to admire the gardens with a glass of wine. Take a climb up one of the rock-climbing walls to reach unbeatable views over the sparkling ocean or settle down with a book in a quiet library. If you’re thinking about bringing the kids (or grandkids), you’ll be particularly thrilled by the vast collection of pools, waterslides and casual eateries.
You can choose from a huge range of dining options, from laidback cafes to specialty restaurants serving everything from sushi to steak. There’s something to suit every taste, and plenty that’s included in your fare. At night, the ship comes alive with live music, theatre, comedy shows and nightlife venues.
