A Milestone of the Voyager Class

If you are passionate about cruising and plan your itineraries on the PortStory world map, you will sooner or later come across a true classic: the Adventure of the Seas. Built in 2001, the ship belongs to the legendary Voyager Class of the cruise line Royal Caribbean. When this class of ships conquered the seas back then, it set completely new standards for what is possible on a cruise ship. To this day, the Adventure of the Seas remains in active service (status: active) and continues to delight travelers all over the world.

What makes this class of ships so special is its groundbreaking architecture. With these ships, Royal Caribbean introduced the so-called Royal Promenade – a huge, boulevard-like shopping and dining promenade inside the ship that stretches over several decks. As you stroll along, you quickly forget that you are out on the open sea. It feels more like a walk through a lively old town with cafés, shops, and bars.

The Perfect Mix of Action and Relaxation

The Adventure of the Seas truly lives up to her name. She is perfect for you if you are looking for the balance of active exercise and deep relaxation on your vacation. The ship was one of the first to be equipped with a huge rock-climbing wall on the funnel. From up there, you have a fantastic view over the vast ocean – a moment you can record directly in your PortStory app as a highlight of your trip after you climb back down.

In addition to the climbing wall, there are numerous other sports activities on board. You can spin your laps on an ice-skating rink, burn off some energy with a game of basketball on the sports court, or pamper yourself in the spacious wellness area. The pools on deck invite you to simply unwind and enjoy the view of the horizon.

Culinary Variety and Evening Entertainment

A day at sea makes you hungry. On board the Adventure of the Seas, a wide range of culinary options awaits you. From the elegant main dining room with multi-course menus to casual buffet restaurants, there is something for every taste. Every evening you can decide anew whether you want to enjoy a festive dinner or prefer a completely relaxed meal under the open sky.

After dinner, the ship truly comes to life. The shows in the main theater regularly captivate the guests. Whether elaborate musical productions, ice-skating shows, or live music in the various lounges – the entertainment program is in no way inferior to major cities on land. If you prefer something quieter, you can retreat to one of the bars with a cocktail and listen to the sound of the waves.
