The Largest Waterpark at Sea

The Largest Waterpark at Sea

Royal Caribbean launched the gargantuan Icon of the Seas, an over-the-top, maximalist combo of mega ship/floating city for 7,600 passengers. It’s so huge that cruisers will forget they’re on a boat. The cherry on top is Category 6, the largest waterpark at sea with six thrill rides covering 17,000 square feet.

Holland America Line De Lijn Gin

Holland America Line De Lijn Gin

Gin has been an anchor in Holland America Line’s history dating back to the cruise company’s start 150 years ago. To toast its big anniversary, HAL launched De Lijn gin to be exclusively served and sold on board its fleet. The result is a premium gin made in America and inspired by the Netherlands.

Laser Tag at Sea

Laser Tag at Sea

In olden times, shuffleboard was the most fun you could have on a cruise. Now it’s laser tag! Pew pew! On the very top deck on very tall Norwegian Cruise Line mega-ships! The planet’s only outdoor laser tag arenas are even awesomer than the only go-cart racetrack at sea on the same deck.

Viking Octantis Expedition Ship

Viking Octantis Expedition Ship

To explore the ends of the earth in comfort and style, Viking sets a new standard for expedition ships with the launch of the Viking Octantis. The star of Viking’s first Antarctic season of expedition voyages is luxuriously appointed, equipped with science labs, and built to take on weather extremes.

Win a Windstar Cruise

Think like a pirate to solve the clues in a video treasure hunt and be automatically entered to win a free cruise anywhere Windstar Cruises’ small ships and yachts sail. During their voyage, the winner and a guest will then be doubly rewarded with what Windstar says will be “the ultimate hidden treasure.”

Star Trek: The Cruise V

Star Trek: The Cruise V

Lido deck… The Final Frontier. Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas ship will transform into Star Trek: The Cruise V. Cast from TOS, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, and Discovery will be aboard, including George Takei, Walter Koenig, Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis. Departs from Port Canaveral 2.26.22.

Norweigian Cruise Line Speedways

Norweigian Cruise Line Speedways

Norwegian Cruise Line hits the gas with the largest go-kart speedways at sea on its two newest mega-ships, the enormously entertaining Joy, Encore, and Bliss. The Awesomer buckled up for the ultimate wild ride on the Bliss’ bi-level, indoor-outdoor track in a tricked out electric kart with its headrest blasting F1 racing sounds.

Scenic Submarine Cruise

Scenic Submarine Cruise

Aside from the Titanic, cruise ships don’t usually execute deep dives. Until now. Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours has become the first cruise line to equip a ship with a submarine for underwater excursions, with its new 114-stateroom, all-veranda, ultra-luxury ship, the Scenic Eclipse.

Arctic Icebreaker Expedition

Arctic Icebreaker Expedition

Not only will a lucky few adventurers get to set sail to explore the Canadian Arctic on an 18- to 75-day journey, those who cruise on the Kapitan Khlebnikov from 8/22-9/8/16 will meet astronaut Chris Hadfield, who is going along for this awe-inspiring trip from Quark Expeditions.

Cruise Ship Go Kart Track

Cruise Ship Go Kart Track

Setting sail in 2017, Norwegian Cruise Line’s latest cruise ship, the Norwegian Joy, will sport a two-level outdoor go kart track, as well as an indoor attraction with bumper cars that hover. Now passengers can get both seasick and carsick at the same time.

Self-Leveling Pool Table

Self-Leveling Pool Table

Why would someone need a self-leveling pool table? To hustle suckers on their yacht of course. Spotted on board a cruise ship, this table uses a gyroscope to keep balls in place in rough waters.
