Adventure on the High Seas

Adventure on the High Seas
Cruising is a great vacation choice for those who want to have it all! With basically everything at your fingertips such as delicious dining, Broadway–caliber entertainment, spa treatments, outdoor and adults–only relaxation areas, outstanding activities, incredible technology, and so much more, the cruise ship is often the best part of the vacation! On your next cruise, consider some of these adventurous activities when you are pondering what to do, and get ready for excitement!
They don’t call Carnival Cruise Line the Fun Ships for no reason! There are many onboard activities that will get your blood pumping and your heart racing! New to Carnival Vista is the SkyRide, a bicycle course suspended high above the ship’s deck, where you can pedal your way to victory in a race or take leisurely laps and enjoy the amazing view. Or you can choose to splish and splash the day away at Waterworks, where the Twister Waterslide, DrainPipe, PowerDrencher, and more will give you the wettest, wildest thrills at sea!
Royal Caribbean hold their own in the adventure sphere with amazing first–at–sea experiences such as iFLY by Ripcord, an amazingly realistic skydiving simulator that will have you reaching for your parachute! Another incredible onboard thrill is FlowRider, where you can catch a wave and hang ten with the best of them. And don’t forget about bumper cars, roller skating, a circus school with trapeze, and so much more at SeaPlex sporting venue.
You can also find your adventurous side at the sports complex on board a Norwegian cruise with activities that will get you to work up a sweat, such as basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, or even soccer! Want something a bit more challenging? Try out the ropes course, where you have to maneuver through over 40 elements on the largest multi-level course at sea. Or test your courage by walking across The Plank, set high above the water and extending 8 feet over the side of the ship. You can also bungee, zip line, mini golf, bowl, and lots more!
Teens can have their own set of adventures on board a Princess Cruises voyage, where teen lounges offer entertainment galore for kids from 13 to 17 years of age. With dance parties, late-night movies, sports tournaments, DJ workshops, hip hop dance classes, and a wide array of the latest game consoles, you’ll feel confident knowing your kids are having the time of their lives! Adults can get their kicks at the wildly popular international singing competition The Voice of the Ocean, where you and your fellow cruise passengers’ audition, receive mentorship, and give a finale performance where guests choose the winner!
