Royal Caribbean sails to more than one hundred and seventy destinations to the most exciting places around the world with numerous shore excursions and cruise options. Ports of call include the Bahamas and Bermuda, the Caribbean, Mexico, Norway, Alaska and Canada, the Panama Canal and closer to hand Europe. 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 likely to be a problem as they sail to more than 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 take in the scenery, visit historic landmarks, sample cultures, cuisine and stay in the finest hotels whilst travelling by train or deluxe motor coach.

There are six classes of Royal Caribbean ship:

Voyager Class cruise ships include Adventure, Explorer, Mariner, Navigator 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 ever ships, Freedom, Independence 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.

Sovereign Class cruise ships, the Monarch and Majesty of the Seas offer activities for all the family with the award winning youth program for children, Adventure Ocean and urbane casinos and lounges for the adult.

Radiance Class Royal Caribbean cruise ships include the Brilliance, Jewel, Radiance and Serenade of the Seas. There are more balconies, glass and open spaces on these cruisers than on any others and even glass walls and lifts.

Vision Class cruise ships, Enchantment, Grandeur, Rhapsody, Splendour, Vision and Legend of the Seas have themed lounges, dining rooms, casinos, solariums, swimming pools, centrums and on some ships even a mini golf course.

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. Two Flowriders, a Zip Line, a walk in Central Park with real trees, Loft Suites and the Boardwalk with hand crafted carousel and somewhere to have your fortune told.
