Royal
Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas
There's never been a ship like this. Enjoy cruise features
like a skating rink, a rock-climbing wall, a street fair - and more. There
was only one way to accommodate all of these innovative ideas. We built
a bigger ship. The 142,000-ton, 3,114-guest Explorer boasts the highest
space-per-guest ratio in the cruise market - and includes enhanced staterooms,
expanded dining options and exceptional gym facilities.

Ocean
Lab
Our Ocean Lab on the Explorer of the Seas is the first facility of its
kind at sea! It gives cruisers the unique opportunity to witness important
oceanographic research in progress. Royal Caribbean has collaborated with
the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric
Science to delve into some of the biggest climatic questions of our time.
With a visit to the Lab, the Explorer of the Seas guest gets an up-close
look at this fascinating study. Filled with state-of-the-art technology,
the Lab is helping scientists learn more and more about the ocean and
atmosphere with each passing day. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) and the National Science Foundation are also lending
their expertise and resources to this project.
Ice Skating
Rink
Not long ago, anyone who suggested booking the Ice Capades on a cruise
ship would have been laughed out of the room. Not anymore. Center Ice
at Studio B accommodates professional ice shows and open skating. That
is, when there isn't an amazing show happening. See, Studio B is also
a 900-seat arena where you'll find rock concerts, games shows, fashion
shows - almost any kind of show you can imagine. We wanted to build a
ship with some of the most unique offerings ever seen, and we think you'll
find we've done just that.
Royal
Promenade
The Royal Promenade, featured in all Voyager class ships, is cruising's
first horizontal atrium. How big is it? Try two football fields in length
and four decks high. With a wide selection of shops, restaurants and entertainment
the Royal Promenade will be the place to be. For starters, Royal Promenade
has more shopping opportunities than any other ship at sea. You'll find
boutiques and specialty shops of every kind - from jewelry to perfume
to china to liquors. And that's just the beginning. Savor your favorite
brandy at the Connoisseur Club. Or enjoy a delicious meal at one of the
around-the-clock dining options. Between the shops, dining and colorful
street festivities, you'll find an ambience comparable to that of New
York's Times Square or London's Burlington Arcade. The Royal Promenade
is truly a revolution in cruise ship design. And through the only staterooms
at sea with an interior view, you'll look down on an exciting and bustling
street life below.
Casino
Royale
There's nothing like the sound of cards being shuffled, chips being stacked
and slot machines paying off. We consider our Casino Royale® to be a little
bit of Vegas, a little bit of Monte Carlo and a lot of Royal Caribbean
fun. We've got games for all levels. Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Caribbean
Stud Poker and Slot Machines galore. There are on-board lessons for novice
players and tournaments for the more advanced. Casino Royale® is open
whenever you are sailing, so stop in and try your luck!
Rock Climbing Wall
When we built these ships, we did so with the plan for them to have special
offerings never before contained on such vessels. Voila! We give you the
Rock Climbing Wall. Imagine climbing a rock wall, on a ship, in the middle
of the open sea, and 200 feet above the sea at that. Come aboard for the
cruise of a lifetime, and that's exactly what you may find yourself doing.
Our unique rock climbing wall is designed to challenge both experts and
beginners. It's also designed to give the adventures you'll find on your
shore excursions a serious run for their money.
Royal
Romance
Royal Caribbean presents Royal Romance, a full-service wedding and vow
renewal program. The following information will assist you in creating
a unique and romantic ceremony aboard one of our elegant vessels. We offer
packages designed with a variety of alternatives to fit your wishes and
budget. You may also create a more customized ceremony by adding options
from our separate Wedding and Vow Renewal Extras section to your ceremony
package.
