Cruising gives you the freedom and choice to say "why not" to countless new onboard experiences. If you can imagine it-or climb it, ice skate it, golf it, or swim to it-you can find it here.
Add to that 281 ports and destinations, with incredible adventures waiting for you in every part of the world. When you think about it, a cruise with Royal Caribbean has so much variety it's like several vacations in one.
From the glaciers of Alaska to quaint European towns, you can explore destinations and ports of call all over the world.
Broadway shows, rock climbing, Swedish massage, yoga classes - you'll never run out of things to do onboard.
Really get to know your destination with a wide variety of Shore Excursions - including tours, entertainment, adventure activities and more.
After a full day of adventure, kick back and relax in your stateroom - choose from family suites, ocean views or, if you prefer, your very own balcony.
