Explorer of the Seas

This is not your average holiday. This is adventure in a bold new light – on the fleet-favourite Explorer of the Seas®. Soak up the sunshine and chill-out vibes at the adults-only Solarium. Indulge in authentic Tuscan cuisine at Giovanni’s Table. Then catch a jaw-dropping original production in the Main Theatre, or dance the night away at Club Twenty. On this ship, there’s no wrong way to do your holiday.

ADVENTURE ON EVERY DECK

When you're not exploring unforgettable ports, you'll find plenty of thrills on deck. Scale the Rock Climbing Wall and try not to wipe out on the FlowRider® surf simulator. Or engage in a little friendly competition on the mini-golf course, before taking your adventure onto the ice skating rink.

FLAVOURFUL FAVES

Say 'Konnichiwa' to fresh-rolled sushi at Izumi, or 'Buongiorno' to authentic Italian eats at Giovanni's Table. If it's prime meat you're craving, head to Chops Grille℠ for steakhouse offerings that are a cut above the rest. And for the ultimate sweet treat, order up a classic milkshake at Johnny Rockets®.

Chops Grille℠

For more than a decade, the chefs at Chops Grille have specialised in serving up quality, hand-cut meat. Dinner at this hallmark Royal Caribbean speciality restaurant goes far beyond the typical steakhouse experience, though, with reimagined classics like succulent Maine lobster, gruyere cheese potato croquettes, white truffle-scented mushroom soup and of course, expertly prepared prime beef.

You've got plans tonight, with dancing, laughs and live music at bars, clubs and lounges that never require a cover charge. It's like the ultimate night out on the town – but you never have to leave the ship.

Day 1: Orlando, Florida

Day 1

Orlando

Port Canaveral, Florida

Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida

As the home of Kennedy Space Centre, Cape Canaveral is the launching point for all-out adventure in Central Florida. Its beaches offer a mix of family-friendly shores and secluded swathes of sand. And with Orlando’s theme park sprawl only an hour away, you can easily mingle with your favourite characters. Beyond the parks lie equally amusing gems packed with Old Florida character. Kayak past manatees in the Banana River Lagoon and zip line above alligators at Brevard Zoo. Discover notable art museums and Park Avenue’s ritzy charm. Cruises from Port Canaveral give you access to trace the region’s roots at the Orange County Regional History Museum.

Trekkie Track

Lift off into interstellar exploration at the Kennedy Space Centre. Amongst interactive Mission Zones you’ll see the Saturn V rocket and the Space Shuttle orbiter Atlantis. Go behind the gates to discover historic launch sites and working spaceflight facilities, plus marvel at the US Astronaut Hall of Fame.

Universal Studios Hogwarts, Orlando, Florida

Get Into Character

Orlando is known as a land of amusements – and for good reason. The city is home to six unique theme parks, each with their own distinct thrills, including Universal Studios Orlando and Islands of Adventure. Or you can venture beyond the Big Six to Gatorland’s swampy terrain, or hit one of the many epic waterparks around town.

Surfer's Standing By Wavy Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Florida

Outside the lines

Connect with Florida’s natural side while riding waves at Cocoa Beach or basking in seclusion at Canaveral National Seashore. Don’t miss a kayak trip through glowing bioluminescent waters, or an air-boat ride through wetlands. Cruise to Orlando-Port Canaveral and swim in rejuvenating freshwater springs – or tee off at one of Orlando’s 150 golf courses.

Local Cuisine

The Cove at Port Canaveral is home to plenty of waterfront restaurants serving up fresh fish tacos and mahi-mahi sandwiches. Orlando has its fair share of celebrity chef-led, farm-to-table spots – and character meals are popular at the theme park resorts. And the Mills 50 District north of central Orlando is famous for its Vietnamese fare.

Shopping

The shops in Historic Cocoa Village sell local handmade art and tropical décor. Souvenir shopping in Orlando is best at Disney Springs, Universal CityWalk and along International Drive. Pop into the family-owned Orange Blossom Indian River Citrus for Florida-grown oranges, grapefruits and other fruits during your Orlando cruise.

Insider tip

Most of the vendors only barter with cash, so be sure to bring some.

Local Cuisine

Cozumel’s cuisine is dominated by Mexican, American and international cuisine. Fresh seafood is always a good choice, and so is the cochinita pibil – a slow-roasted, highly seasoned pork dish. Cool off with a michelada, made with beer and freshly squeezed lime juice over ice in a salt-rimmed glass. Or keep it traditional with Mexico’s signature spirit, tequila.

Cozumel & Cancun, Cenotes — Cenotes in Cozumel
