A guide to Royal Caribbean cruises by Jez Rourke

Royal Caribbean sails to over 170 destinations in some of the most exciting places across the world. Some of the more popular ports of call include the Caribbean, Mexico, Scandinavia, Alaska, Canada, the Panama Canal and of curse Europe. Royal Caribbean is often referred to as the cruise line with the wow factor and the one that put ice skating rinks, rock climbing walls, surfing simulators and other novel and inventive facilities on cruise ships.

When planning a Royal Caribbean cruise the first thing to consider is which port you want to go to and which one you want to depart from. This is not a problem as Royal Caribbean sail to over a hundred different ports and depart from the international ports of Southampton and Harwich in the UK.

Royal Caribbean cruise tours to Australia, South America, Whistler, Canadian Rockies, Alaska and Europe combine cruising with land tours for a total experience. A chance to admire the beautiful scenery, visit historicly important landmarks, sample many different cultures and cuisine, as well as stay in the finest hotels whilst on land.

There are six classes of Royal Caribbean ship:

Voyager Class cruise ships include Adventure of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas, Mariner of the Seas, Navigator of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas. These are the ships that have everything from miniature golf courses, rock climbing walls and ice-skating rinks, as well as bustling shopping malls, cafes and speciality restaurants.

Freedom Class cruise ships include Royal Caribbean’s largest ships, Freedom of the Seas, Independence of the Sea and Liberty of the Seas. These ships have cantilevered whirlpools, the FlowRider Surf Park, H2O Zone Water Park, ice-skating rink and a full size boxing ring.

The last class, Oasis contains one ship only, Oasis of the Seas, but what a ship. It is Royal Caribbean’s newest ship and there is no way a few lines can explain this collection of amazing experience.
