Committed to providing the best cruise vacation experience available, Royal Caribbean International has been setting cruise industry standards and helping guests to "Get Out There" since its foundation more than a quarter of a century ago. Today, the innovative cruise line continues to offer its guests many unique amenities, including the signature rock-climbing wall available on all ships and the ice-skating rink aboard all Voyager-class vessels. Fine dining, exciting live shows, full-service spas and fitness centers, and dancing are the traditional hallmarks of the Royal Caribbean cruising experience.

Royal Caribbean's fleet consists of 19 ships in four classes, including the 138,000-ton, 3,114-passenger Voyager-class vessels -- some of the largest cruise ships in the world. The Voyager-class, introduced in 1999, includes the Voyager of the Seas, Adventure of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas, Mariner of the Seas, and Navigator of the Seas. Each ship features an in-line skating track, ice-skating rink, full basketball court, and Royal Promenade.

Royal Caribbean's 90,090-ton, 2,501-passenger Radiance-class vessels include the Radiance of the Seas, Brilliance of the Seas, Jewel of the Seas, and Serenade of the Seas. These sleek ships, with their mega-yacht exteriors, boast an abundance of windows, open space, all-glass elevators facing the sea, and the fleet's highest percentage of staterooms with balconies.

Sovereign- and Vision-class ships boast a bevy of onboard activities and amenities tailored to the individual tastes of each guest. The Empress of the Seas (formerly the Nordic Empress) offers passengers a classic cruise experience.

Royal Caribbean's ships sail to destinations all over the world, visiting more than 100 ports of call across the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, Alaska, Canada, New England, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Hawaii, Central America, and the Pacific Northwest.

CocoCay is Royal Caribbean's private island, featuring a variety of beaches, tropical landscapes, native crafts, and watersports. Nestled in the Bahamas, CocoCay is a truly intimate and unique paradise.

The Royal Caribbean Singers and Dancers perform exciting Broadway-style productions in the onboard theatres, and guests will love the amazing ice shows featured on Voyager-class ships.

The Las Vegas-style Casino Royale features a sea of slot machines and popular games of chance like craps and roulette. From dance classics in the nightclub to live jazz, swing, and classic rock in the bars and lounges, a variety of music and lively venues keep guests entertained.

Parents and their children will love Royal Caribbean's Adventure Ocean program, offering a variety of supervised amusements for cruisers ages 3 to 17. Activities for children are based upon age group and include Adventure Science, Pirate Night, Adventure Art by Crayola, Wacky Olympics, talent shows, Volcanoes and Fossil Fever, and the Adventure Challenge Series. Each Adventure Ocean staff member has a four-year degree in Education from an accredited college and is certified in CPR.

Kids ages 12 to 17 have a less structured program and can come and go as they please. Teens can hang out at the Living Room, or choose from a selection of activities including pool parties, karaoke, scavenger hunts, talent shows, and sports tournaments. The teen nightclub, Fuel, is open to teens ages 15 to 17 until 2 AM.

After working out, guests can ease their tired muscles in the sauna, whirlpools, steam rooms, and thermal suites.

Guests can exercise on the jogging track or basketball court, go for a swim in the outdoor pool, enjoy rest and relaxation in the calm of the Solarium, scale the heights of the rock-climbing wall, play miniature golf, or perfect their swings with the help of golf simulators.

Royal Caribbean guests enjoy award-winning cuisine and food service. A wealth of dining options are available, including vegetarian meals and spa menus featuring lighter fare. The formal main dining room serves traditional five-course meals. Specialty restaurants include romantic Portofino, offering delicious Italian dishes, and Chops Grille, featuring savory steaks.
