Explorer of the Seas

With everything from a rock-climbing wall to an ice-skating rink, Explorer of the Seas is a member of Royal Caribbean International's innovative Voyager Family of ships. The ship comfortably carries 3,100 passengers, and offers more facilities and entertainment choices than many small cities. Fitness activities, relaxing swimming areas, and nightly entertainment are among this mega ship's many fun options aimed to please all ages.

Sports and fitness offerings include a full basketball/volleyball court, golf simulator, jogging track, rock-climbing wall, in-line skating track, nine-hole miniature golf course, and a top-of-the-line fitness center and spa. Also, the onboard entertainment complex houses an ice skating rink, which doubles as a TV studio and concert venue. The three pools and whirlpool spas on the ship are surrounded by ample places to soak up some rays, and families will love the outdoor family deck, complete with a waterslide.

The three main dining rooms are connected by a grand, sweeping staircase. Additionally, four other dining areas and restaurants provide more casual options. After the sun sets, choose between a jazz club, nightclub, golf bar, cigar bar, sports bar, cocktail lounge, aquarium bar (which features several incredible tanks containing colorful fish), champagne bar, and dancing lounge. There are also live performances at ship's very own theater and games of chance in the Casino Royale.
