Royal Caribbean Cruise Line: Satisfying cruise vacations full of fun, action & adventure

Royal Caribbean Cruise Line offers a consistent standard of service on its fleet of large ships, with wide appeal for family cruises, couples, cruise groups, first-time or experienced cruisers. Royal Caribbean cruises offers a wide range of active adventures onboard (see below). Comparable cruise lines include Carnival, Norwegian and Princess. Read more about mainstream cruise lines.

Royal Caribbean Cruises has been a very popular line, and have also remained innovators. Royal Caribbean is the cruise line that introduced rock-climbing walls, ice-skating, in-line skating, surf-riding machines and boxing onboard their ships. They have also been innovative in creating a "mall" concept of shops and eateries on board some of their ships. Not all of Royal Caribbean's ships offer ice skating rinks or roller blading, for example. As a preferred agency with Royal Caribbean, our cruise experts can help advise you on the options available, and arrange the best Royal Caribbean cruise value.

Many viewed the world's largest cruise ships with some skepticism. These ships are, however, passing muster with flying colors. A combination of resort, theme park and shopping mall, at over 225,000 tons and with up to 5,400 passengers, you may well forget you're cruising at sea while onboard.

These ships are innovative, designed as neighborhoods. Central Park is open to the sky, with over 12,000 plants and trees. There's an elevator that's actually a 35-seat bar! The Boardwalk includes Royal Caribbean's trademark rock climbing wall, a zip line and a wooden carousel. The Aqua Theatre features synchronized swimming and diving extravaganzas.

Royal Caribbean suite guests enjoy spacious living accommodations and enhanced amenities including: slippers and luxury bathrobes, Vitality bath amenities, Ghiradelli chocolates at turn down, a pre-dinner cheese presentation one evening and petits fours plate on another, complimentary water and fruit, in-stateroom coffee and tea service, and in-room dining service off the main menu if desired.

With so many more families (and children) onboard cruise ships, cruise lines have recognized the need to create areas reserved for adults. Royal Caribbean may have been one of the first of the major large ship cruise lines that introduced adults-only Solarium areas on its Voyager-class ships. While anyone including children can walk through these areas, deck chairs and whirlpools are reserved for adults only, providing a relaxing and quiet area onboard. Read more about family cruises.

Younger folk will have a great time on Royal Caribbean cruise vacation. In fact, it's often a challenge to figure out who had the better time onboard: kids or adults! in addition to FlowRiders, ice skating rinks and sports courts, the newer ships offer a range of activities and space for kids, including a disco, lounge, pool areas, even an Adventure Ocean Theatre and Science Lab. 3-D movies are available on deck, as are parades in the Royal Promenade.

In addition to comprehensive spa and fitness facilities onboard, Royal Caribbean introduced its Vitality program, a total wellness program that helps guests navigate onshore and onboard appropriate wellness and activity options for an invigorating, rejuvenating and customized vacation. These activities can include meditation, tai chi, healthy menus, bike tours and ziplining. Read more about fitness and wellness at sea.
