Leading the way in cruise industry innovation

No cruise line pushes the boundaries of what’s possible at sea quite like Royal Caribbean. Their ships aren’t just vessels – they’re floating destinations in their own right, packed with experiences that would be impressive on land, let alone hundreds of miles from shore.

With the help of our certified Royal Caribbean cruise travel advisors, you can cut through the sheer volume of options and discover the perfect vessel and itinerary tailored to your travel style. Royal Caribbean’s extraordinary popularity stems from a relentless commitment to innovation – full-scale Broadway musicals, a remarkable variety of dining options, adults-only retreats, rejuvenating spa services, and spectacular entertainment that appeals to voyagers of every age. Families especially treasure the experience, thanks to the award-winning Adventure Ocean youth program that keeps kids engaged while parents enjoy well-deserved relaxation.

Bold Innovation at Sea

Royal Caribbean has introduced numerous industry firsts on board – rock climbing walls, RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulators, bumper cars, ice skating rinks, and FlowRider surfing at sea. These aren’t gimmicks. They genuinely redefine what a vacation at sea can feel like, whether you’re a daring adventurer or a multi-generational family looking for something everyone can get excited about.

Their newest Icon Class ships, including Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas, represent the pinnacle of modern cruise design. Think neighborhood-style layouts that give each area of the ship its own distinct personality, the largest waterpark at sea (Category 6), and experiences that push well past what anyone thought possible on the open ocean.

An Exceptional Dining Experience

Royal Caribbean offers an impressive array of dining choices to satisfy every palate. Complimentary venues include the elegant main dining room, the expansive Windjammer Marketplace buffet, and a variety of casual eateries scattered across the ship. For those seeking something more, specialty restaurants – available at an additional cost – include Chops Grille steakhouse, Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen, Izumi Japanese cuisine, Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, and many more.

On the newest Icon Class ships, innovative concepts like The Pearl offer a stunning three-story dining venue with theatrical presentations that elevate your meal into something genuinely memorable. It’s dinner and a show, without the cliche.

The Ultimate Family Cruise Experience

There’s a reason Royal Caribbean is consistently voted “Best Cruise Line for Families.” Adventure Ocean offers expertly supervised programs for children ages 3 through 12, while teens enjoy their own dedicated spaces and age-appropriate activities. Even babies as young as six months are welcome in the Royal Babies and Tots program.

From exhilarating water slides and FlowRider surf simulators to pools, splash pads, and the sheer wonder of exploring a world-class ship, every member of the family finds their own version of extraordinary. Parents can relax knowing the kids are having the time of their lives – and so are they.

Star Class – The Ultimate in Royal Caribbean Luxury

For guests seeking a truly elevated experience, Royal Caribbean’s Star Class suites deliver a ship-within-a-ship luxury concept that rivals dedicated luxury cruise lines. Star Class guests enjoy a personal Royal Genie – a dedicated concierge who anticipates your every wish – along with exclusive access to the private Concierge Club, a private restaurant, the Deluxe Beverage Package, VOOM Wi-Fi, specialty dining, and prepaid gratuities.

It’s a curated, VIP experience delivered with Royal Caribbean’s signature energy and innovation. Our certified cruise travel advisors can help you determine whether a Star Class suite is the perfect fit for your voyage.
