Royal Caribbean - Adventure on a Grand Scale
Okay, so you probably have a rough idea of what you think cruising is all about. But be prepared, because we constantly hear from our first-time cruisers that they're totally surprised once they get onboard.
Our cruise ships are some of the most innovative in the industry - they're bigger and brighter, with a lot more open spaces and private balconies. Our onboard and shoreside activities appeal to everyone from the rock climber, to the sun worshiper.
Freedom of the Seas
Experience our largest, most innovative ship yet, Freedom of the Seas! This Royal Caribbean International masterpiece of naval engineering features the first-ever onboard surf park at sea; cantilevered whirlpools that extend 12 feet beyond the sides of the ship; the H2O Zone® waterpark, complete with interactive sculpture fountains, ground geysers and a cascading waterfall; our largest rock-climbing wall, with eleven routes and a central spire you can swing around; and so much more! Extensive WiFi capabilities and connectivity for cell phones will also be available, as well as flat-screen TVs in every stateroom. You've got to see this ship to believe it.

Voyager of the Seas
This ship is a revolutionary marvel of naval engineering. Enjoy one-of-a-kind features like an ice-skating rink, the Royal Promenade and a rock-climbing wall, just for starters. How did we accommodate all of these innovative ideas? Simple. We built a bigger cruise ship. The 138,000-ton, 3,114-guest Voyager of the Seas became the world's largest cruise ship when it entered service in November 1999. Innovations on this and other Voyager-family ships add up to more space for every guest, and include enhanced staterooms, expanded dining options and exceptional recreational facilities.
