The 6 best cruise ship waterslides and watery fun zones

Call it the Battle of the Waterslides.

In the last few years, the big boys of the cruise industry — Royal Caribbean , MSC Cruises , Norwegian Cruise Line and Carnival Cruise Line — have been locked in a game of one-upmanship when it comes to waterslides and watery fun zones on vessels.

In addition to such over-the-top, new attractions as go-kart tracks and roller coasters , the brands behind the biggest megaresorts at sea have been packing the top decks of their vessels with even more over-the-top watery allures.

For more cruise guides, news and reviews, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Royal Caribbean, for instance, added an 800-foot-long "water coaster" to the back of its 3,386-passenger Navigator of the Seas just a few years ago. It's one of more than two dozen giant waterslides the line has added to more than half a dozen ships in the last seven years.

Royal Caribbean also plans a record six waterslides on its next new ship, Icon of the Seas, which is scheduled to debut in January 2024.

But as recently as early 2016, Royal Caribbean didn't have a single waterslide on any of its vessels.

MSC Cruises also has gone big with giant water parks in the past seven years, with as many as four waterslides on more than half a dozen of its newest vessels. Norwegian has loaded up its most recent ships with giant water parks, too — some have as many as five waterslides!

Not to be outdone, Carnival, an early adopter of waterslides on ships, has added sprawling water park areas with multiple waterslides to almost every vessel in its fleet.

A brief history of water attractions at sea

In the beginning, there was the pool. As watery cruise ship attractions go, it has long been the staple — something found on nearly every cruise vessel going back to the 1970s.

But as early as 1978, at least one line was spicing up its Lido decks with a little waterslide fun — little being the operative word. That's the year Carnival added a single slide into the pool on its 728-passenger Festivale — a slide so small it's now hilarious to think it was touted as an attraction.

Often cited as the first waterslide ever on a cruise vessel, the Festivale slide was of a sort that was found at backyard pools at the time. The cruise industry was still in its infancy, of course, and ships were orders of magnitude smaller than they are today. Festivale measured just 32,697 tons, about one-seventh the size of today's biggest cruise vessels.

Carnival, the so-called Fun Ship line, would go on to become the early leader in waterslides at sea. The 2,056-passenger Carnival Fantasy, which debuted in 1990, was the first cruise ship with a significant waterslide. It measured 115 feet in length.

Just six years later, in 1996, Carnival would make news with the unveiling of a 214-foot-long corkscrew waterslide on what then was called Destiny. (The ship currently sails as the Carnival Sunshine after being rebuilt in 2013.) At the time, Destiny was the biggest cruise ship in the world.

In more recent years, Carnival has gone into waterslide-building overdrive. The line has added full-blown water park areas with waterslides, watery play zones and other features to all but four of its 25 ships. All but one of Carnival's ships (Carnival Luminosa) now have at least one waterslide.

One of the Carnival water parks, on the line's 5-year-old Carnival Horizon, even has Disney-style theming revolving around Dr. Seuss characters.

Norwegian, MSC Cruises and Royal Caribbean only began going big with waterslides on ships in the past decade or so. Many of the newest vessels from the brands have massive water park areas. Some of the brands are retrofitting big waterslides onto older ships, too.

Additionally, family-focused Disney Cruise Line now has major water attractions on all its vessels.

Where you'll find the biggest waterslides at sea

If your idea of the perfect cruise ship is one loaded to the gills with waterslides and watery fun zones (plus all sorts of other over-the-top attractions), you'll want to stick to the biggest floating megaresorts operated by Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, MSC Cruises and Carnival.

At Royal Caribbean, that means the giant Oasis-class vessels , which include Wonder of the Seas — the world's largest cruise ship. At Norwegian, you'll find the biggest waterslides and water parks on the line's relatively recently built Breakaway Plus-, Breakaway- and Epic-class ships. At MSC Cruises, the new Seaside-, Meraviglia-, Meraviglia Plus- and World-class vessels have the line's big water parks.

Big lines that have steered clear of the water-park-at-sea trend include Princess Cruises, Holland America and Celebrity Cruises. Geared more toward couples than families and typically drawing an older demographic, all three of these lines have stuck to a more subdued feel for the outdoor areas of their ships. The top decks of vessels operated by Princess, Holland America and Celebrity still mostly revolve around traditional swimming areas with pools, hot tubs and lounge chairs.

Ready for a splashy, top-deck thrill? These are the most spectacular watery attractions at sea.

The Perfect Storm

Where you'll find it: Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas.

This isn't just one giant waterslide; it's a whole complex of waterslides, each one among the most exciting you'll find anywhere on the world's oceans.

The Perfect Storm is found on four of Royal Caribbean's massive Oasis-class vessels — Wonder of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas — as well as the smaller Liberty of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas. The complex includes two four-deck-high racer slides called Cyclone and Typhoon, where you can do side-by-side speed tests with your travel partner.

On the four Oasis-class ships, there's also a third, Champagne bowl-style slide called Supercell. It'll swirl you around a big basin before plummeting you "down the drain" into a plunge pool. On Liberty of the Seas, a third slide called The Tidal Wave sends you screaming down a steep hill on an inner tube to a nearly vertical incline. Zooming upward, topping out and dropping back, you'll get a blissful moment of complete weightlessness.

Note that Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas also has a waterslide area called Perfect Storm — but it's completely different. More on that in a moment.

The Blaster

Where you'll find it: Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas.

The Blaster is the Big Daddy of waterslides at sea. At 800 feet, it's the longest ever built on a cruise ship. Added to Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas in 2019, it's a seemingly endless stretch of yellow and orange tubing that winds around the back deck of the vessel like a snake.

A true sight to behold, The Blaster is so long because it's what's known as a water coaster. It features water jets that propel you up, down and forward — extending the ride — as you careen around the ship's basketball court and surfing simulator in an inner tube. At times, you go flying over the side of the ship, over open water (not that you have much time to take in the view).

Royal Caribbean has named the area on Navigator of the Seas where The Blaster is located the Perfect Storm — the same name used for waterslide areas on six other ships — but the area is completely different than what you'll find on the other vessels. In addition to The Blaster, the Perfect Storm area on Navigator of the Seas includes a headfirst mat racer slide called Riptide — the first of its kind at sea.

Where you'll find it: Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream.

Leave it to family-focused Disney Cruise Line to come up with the coolest watery family attraction at sea. AquaDuck is a water coaster, like The Blaster on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas, and is found on Disney's two Dream-class ships. But don't expect anything too white-knuckle. The ride is relatively gentle by water park standards, mainly because it's designed for kids of all ages (and their parents, who can ride along on inner tubes for two).

While AquaDuck is slightly shorter than The Blaster at 765 feet in length, it has a bigger presence, thanks to its prime location encircling the main pool area. If you're lounging up top, it's hard to miss the massive, clear acrylic tubing of the ride, which is held up by 46 giant white stilts.

In addition to AquaDuck, the two Disney ships with the attraction (Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream ) have a relatively small, kid-friendly waterslide next to the centrally located Mickey's Pool. Dubbed Mickey's Slide, it's held up by a giant Mickey hand, which is delightful. Both ships also have a watery play zone for toddlers called Nemo's Reef. Plus, Disney Fantasy has a watery fun zone with water jets, geysers and bubblers called AquaLab.

Note that Disney's newest ship — Disney Wish — has a water coaster attraction similar to the AquaDuck called the AquaMouse. The big difference: Riders will see animated shorts while riding up the ramp at the start of the ride.

Carnival WaterWorks

Where you'll find it: Nearly all Carnival ships.

When it comes to waterslides on ships, cruise giant Carnival is still the undisputed king. The Fun Ship line began adding them to vessels way back in 1978, and there's now at least one waterslide on every ship in the Carnival fleet — something no other line can say.

Indeed, on all Carnival ships, there's now not just a single waterslide but a whole water park area. Called WaterWorks, these areas vary in size and features from vessel to vessel, but they typically have one or two big waterslides, a watery play zone with interactive water features and a large continuously filling dump bucket that periodically soaks everybody within range.

You'll typically find the biggest Carnival water park complexes on the newest Carnival ships, such as Mardi Gras , Celebration and Carnival Venezia . All three have three waterslides — one more than most Carnival ships.

Aqua Park (Norwegian Cruise Line)

Where you'll find it: Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Joy, Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Encore.

Norwegian Cruise Line began going big with waterslides in 2010 when it debuted Norwegian Epic. And boy, did it go big! Norwegian Epic offers three monster waterslides, including the thrilling Epic Plunge — a 200-foot-long tube ride that ends in a swirling bowl. Epic Plunge is part of Norwegian Epic's Aqua Park, the first water park on a Norwegian ship. Norwegian has since added Aqua Parks to six more new vessels, including its biggest ship, the 4-year-old Norwegian Encore .

Norwegian's Aqua Parks vary in size and attractions from ship to ship, but some of them, such as the one on Norwegian Breakaway, have as many as five separate multistory waterslides. Yes, you read that right: Five waterslides on a single cruise ship!

On Norwegian Breakaway, the lineup includes twin free-fall slides that drop passengers nearly straight down several stories; two side-by-side twisting racer slides; and a family-friendly slide with a more modest drop. For sheer variety, the complex is hard to beat.

Aqua Park (MSC Cruises)

Where you'll find it: MSC Seascape, MSC Seashore, MSC Seaview, MSC Seaside, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Bellissima, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Virtuosa, MSC Euribia, MSC World Europa.

Fast-growing MSC Cruises has joined the waterslide wars in the last few years — and in a massive way. Each of the 10 ships the line has unveiled since 2017 offers a full-blown water park on its top deck that's packed with waterslides and other watery fun.

On North America-based MSC Seaside, the Aqua Park has four waterslides and a children's play area with interactive water features. The waterslides include two massive, 525-foot-long dueling slides that extend over the sides of the ship. The top of the Aqua Park on MSC Seaside is also home to the liftoff point for a zip line that soars 344 feet across the top of the vessel.

Other MSC Cruises water parks at sea include the winter-themed Polar Aqua Park on MSC Meraviglia, which offers a suspended-in-the-sky ropes course in addition to four waterslides. There's also the Aquaplay area for the little ones.

Two MSC Cruises ships — MSC Seashore and MSC World Europa — even have virtual reality waterslides that involve riders wearing virtual reality headsets as part of the experience.

In all, 14 of MSC Cruises' 22 vessels now have at least one waterslide on their top decks.

AquaDuck Water Coaster on the Disney Dream

Handout/Handout/Getty Images

Water slides are a dime a dozen on cruise ships, but the AquaDuck is the only water coaster on a cruise ship with the kind of drops and g-forces you would experience on a roller coaster. It is located on the top decks of the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy , which are two sister ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.

Circle the Top Deck

The 765-foot-long AquaDuck is elevated high above Deck 11 on tall stilts. The water coaster circles the ship in a transparent acrylic tube, with water jets propelling riders through uphill sections. The majority of the ride takes place in a clear tube, but a section of the ride is enclosed as it travels through the ship's forward funnel.

Ride Solo or With a Friend

Riders sit on rubber rafts that hold up to two people. Most of the ride takes place in a transparent acrylic tube, so riders can see outside. Riders must adhere to these rules:

• Kids must be at least 42 inches tall to ride the AquaDuck.
• Kids who meet the height requirement but are not yet seven years old must ride with another rider who is at least 14 years old.
• Kids must be at least 54 inches tall to ride alone.

Zoom Over the Ship's Edge

After leaving the loading area, the raft zooms 12 feet out over the edge of the ship and 150 feet above the water.

Take in the View

Because the AquaDuck's tube is clear, riders can see the ship's top deck and out over the ocean.

Sit Back and Enjoy the Ride

The AquaDuck's gentle slope lets riders enjoy a leisurely trip around the ship. After boarding, the ride takes just over a minute to complete.

Check out the Fun Below

While on the AquaDuck, riders can survey the top deck of the Disney Dream , with its two family pools, yellow slide at the Mickey Pool, shaded water splash area for little ones, and Disney movies on the big screen.

Wave at Family and Friends

 More fun facts:

• The AquaDuck uses about 10,000 gallons of water per minute.
• In the Edge, the tweens' lounge, several windows let kids catch a glimpse of AquaDuck riders as they zoom by.
• At night, the AquaDuck's lights are turned on for a colorful and different ride experience.

Come in for a Gentle Splashdown

At the end of the ride, the AquaDuck emerges from the tube and splashes down gently into a landing pool. You'll be nearly dry when you emerge from the raft.

• Get a bird’s-eye view of the new pools available to family, kids and adults aboard the Disney Dream
• Splash into a lazy river at the end of the plunge

Riders should note that:

• AquaDuck is designed for adults and children at least 42″ or taller
• Single riders must be at least 54″ or taller
• Children under 7 must ride with someone 14 years of age or older, provided the child is at least 42″ tall

Carnival Cruise Line Waterslides – Everything You Need to Know (2024)

By: Author Carrie Ann Karstunen

Posted on Published: March 8, 2023  - Last updated: December 22, 2023

Carnival’s waterslides are a popular activity for kids and adults alike. Here’s what you need to know about Carnival cruise ship waterslides.

If having the best waterslides on your Carnival cruise ship will make or break your vacation (or your kids’ hearts), you’ve come to the right place!

Even if you’ve cruised on another Carnival cruise ship with a waterslide , it’s not a guarantee your next ship will feature the same slides.

In this post, I detail exactly which waterslides are offered on which Carnival ships—plus what each slide is like, who can ride them (most slides have both height and weight restrictions), and what Carnival’s safety rules are for waterslide fun.

Ready to slide? Let’s go!

A quick history of Carnival Cruise Line’s waterslides

Although waterslides are common on many of today’s large cruise ships, it wasn’t too long ago that a cruise ship waterslide was unheard of!

In 1978, Carnival was the first cruise line to offer a waterslide aboard one of its ships. The single tiny slide on the 728-passenger Festivale , akin to something you’d see at a backyard pool, required guests to climb just eleven steps to reach its top.

Twelve years later, the new Fantasy ship (later renamed Carnival Fantasy ) debuted with a full-size waterslide —the world’s first significant waterslide on a cruise ship.

You might know that cruise ships have godparents , but did you know that in 2009, nine-year-old Hailee Steberger became the cruise industry’s first waterslide godchild? She inaugurated the Twister slide aboard Carnival Dream , then the cruise line’s largest ship.

Hailee was selected from over 500 contest entrants who created drawings and essays focused on their favorite dreams.

Carnival’s waterslides today

Today, all but one ship in Carnival’s fleet features at least one full-size waterslide , and many have two or three! Most ships also offer mini slides for little cruisers.

Carnival Luminosa , a former Costa ship, is the only Carnival ship without a single waterslide on board. The Luminosa spends much of the year in the cooler climate of Alaska , where outdoor slides typically don’t get much use.

Carnival’s fleet features sixteen types of waterslides , each with its own unique personality. Cruisers can find Carnival’s waterslides on the upper decks of each ship, most often as part of the WaterWorks onboard water park.

Carnival’s signature bright-yellow Twister waterslide is offered on almost every ship in the fleet. The spiral slide is a bit different on each ship class, with a range of slide lengths from 212 to 341 feet.

On many Carnival ships, Twister is an enclosed spiral slide. However, on some older ships, the waterslide features an open design.

The only Carnival ships without a Twister waterslide are Carnival Panorama * and Carnival Luminosa .

*Both Carnival’s website and related marketing materials claim that Panorama has a Twister slide. However (I’ve sailed on Panorama ) the ship doesn’t offer this slide.

Blue Lightning

If you’re sailing on one of Carnival’s Excel-class ships ( Mardi Gras , Celebration , or Jubilee ), you’ll have the chance to experience the cruise line’s new Blue Lightning waterslide .

The 312-foot-long tube slide is a thrilling face-forward ride. Sliders zip through the enclosed slide on a mat, so don’t forget to pick up your mat at the base of the stairs before you climb up to access the slide!

Orange Thunder

Another Excel-class exclusive waterslide, Orange Thunder is a 229-foot dropdown slide found on Mardi Gras , Celebration , and Jubilee .

Thrill-seekers start by entering the slide’s rocket-shaped pod, then the floor drops out sending riders down the tube to the splash pool below.

I was originally just going to include a photo of Orange Thunder, but I found this excellent 33-second YouTube video that perfectly captures the entire experience. Click on the embedded video to experience this ride from floor drop to splashdown!

Kaleid-O-Slide

Only on Carnival Vista , Kaleid-O-Slide is a 455-foot waterslide with kaleidoscopic visual effects. Riders grab an inner tube and experience the enclosed first half of the slide (with unique multi-colored lights) before the slide opens up for some twists and turns before splashdown.

Carnival also advertises this slide for its Panorama sailings, but (I promise you!) that ship doesn’t have it. But Panorama does have some excellent waterslides—keep reading to find out about them!

The Cat’s Hat Slide

Only offered on Carnival Horizon , The Cat’s Hat is a Cat in the Hat -themed waterslide located in the Dr. Seuss WaterWorks aqua park. You’ll hop on an inner tube to ride this fairly tame 455-foot waterslide to the bottom.

The 455-foot red and white tube slide is fully enclosed for the first half of the ride, then opens up to give you a peek at the sun before depositing you into the splash zone.

Fun Things Slide

Another Seuss-themed slide unique to the Horizon , Fun Things is named after the iconic characters Thing 1 and Thing 2.

This blue-and-white enclosed spiral slide is just 300 feet long but will give you a faster, more thrilling experience.

Speedway Splash Racing Slides

Only found on Carnival Sunshine , the dual Speedway Splash Racing Slides sport a racing theme that will fuel your need for speed!

Added as part of Carnival’s Fun Ship 2.0 renovations, each 235-foot fully-enclosed slide—one green and one blue—features racing flag motifs and flashing lights. Challenge a friend and see who’s the winner on the electronic screen at the bottom!

Only on Dream-class ships ( Carnival Breeze , Dream , and Magic ), DrainPipe is an enclosed tube slide with a remarkable feature. After shooting through the slide’s twists and turns, riders are launched into a huge water-filled bowl for a final spin before exiting.

At just 104 feet long, DrainPipe is one of Carnival’s shorter waterslides. But you can definitely pick up some serious speed before you reach the bowl at the slide’s end!

The 203-foot enclosed tube slide fittingly named AquaTunnel can be found on five Carnival ships: Freedom , Glory , Radiance , Sunrise , and Venezia . The slide will also be featured on the Carnival Firenze , coming in April 2024.

This classic tunnel-style waterslide features a translucent tube that lets in sunlight, perfect for those who might be a little nervous about taking the plunge!

Green Thunder

Found only on Carnival’s Spirit-class ships ( Legend , Miracle , Pride , and Spirit ), the Green Thunder waterslide is a seriously thrilling attraction.

Similar to the Orange Thunder slides on Excel-class ships, this waterslide also begins with a floor drop—it’s not for the faint of heart!

A ride on this 187-foot slide starts with a 34’ long drop leading into a single 360 ° turn, so you can pick up some serious speed!

Green Lightning

Unique to Carnival Splendor , Green Lightning is like a combination of the Green Thunder waterslide and DrainPipe! With a floor drop leading into a freefall-style 37′ drop, riders then zoom into a slingshot curve and finish in a swirling bowl of H20.

Splendor is an older (and rather quirky) Carnival ship, so it’s not surprising that she boasts such an extraordinary waterslide!

Red Fun and Blue Fun

Carnival Panorama offers a pair of waterslides not found on any other ship in the fleet. Perhaps keeping with the Dr. Seuss theme (though the ship doesn’t have a completely Seussified WaterWorks splash park like Carnival Horizon ), Panorama offers Red Fun and Blue Fun .

As I mentioned earlier, Carnival’s website states (in several places) that Panorama offers Twister and Kaleid-O-Slide, but I can assure you they don’t exist on this ship. I’ve done both full-size waterslides on the Panorama , and they’re absolutely unique to this vessel. True to their names, they’re both super-fun!

The Blue Fun waterslide is a translucent, enclosed tube, while Red Fun starts out enclosed, then opens up to a halfpipe style for the second half of the ride. You’ll need to grab an inner tube to slide on Red Fun, while for Blue Fun you can climb right in.

Gondola Glide

Carnival’s new Gondola Glide waterslide can only be found aboard the brand’s “ Fun Italian Style ” ships: Carnival Venezia and Carnival Firenze (two of the three ships that the cruise line brought over from its sister line Costa).

The new slides feature a bowl at the end—similar to the DrainPipe slides—painted in a blue-and-yellow pattern to echo the Venetian-themed canal poles you’ll find decorating the WaterWorks splash areas on these ships.

Racing Slides

Several Carnival ships, including Dream , Elation , and Paradise also offer 82’ long double-lane racing water slides. While not as intense as the Speedway Splash Racing Slides found on Carnival Sunshine , these shorter open slides offer a fun way to battle friends for the title of fastest slider.

Mini Racer Slides

Do you have a thrill-seeking little one who’s just not tall enough for the big waterslides? Most Carnival ships offer Mini Racer Slides . You can check out the charts I’ve included below to see if your ship features Mini Racers.

These side-by-side kiddie waterslides offer the opportunity to race a friend or sibling to the bottom, or just the chance to have some “big kid” fun in the onboard water park. I’ve listed all the minimum heights to ride on Carnival’s full-size waterslides later in this article.

Height requirements and weight limits for Carnival Cruise Line waterslides:

For safety reasons, Carnival has established minimum heights and maximum weights for cruisers to use their ships’ onboard waterslides. Some of Carnival’s waterslides allow people who are at least 42 inches tall (that’s 3’6″ or 106.68 cm) to ride, while others require riders to be at least 48 inches tall (that’s 4′ or 121.92 cm).

Potential riders who look to be close to the minimum height requirement will need to stand next to the measuring board before getting the OK to ride.

Carnival’s maximum weight for guests looking to use the waterslides also varies by type of slide. The cruise line doesn’t offer any waterslides where passengers over 300 pounds (136.08 kg) are allowed to ride. Five of their waterslide types have a weight cap of 265 pounds (120.2 kg).

You can find the minimum height and maximum weight for each of Carnival’s waterslides in the table below:

Hours and rules for Carnival’s waterslides

Carnival’s waterslides are usually open from 9 AM until sunset. Once onboard, check the HUB app for specific hours on your sailing.

General rules of conduct for Carnival’s waterslides

• No lifeguard on duty
• Use the pool at your own risk
• Showers are required prior to use
• Parents are responsible for their children

• Watch your step on wet surfaces
• Use the ladder and handrails to enter and exit the pool
• Do not use if you are experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, or fever

It’s a good idea to check the regulations for each slide—some have specific rules (for example, don’t uncross your legs, single riders only, or guests with specific health conditions shouldn’t ride).

Waterslide Right Into The Ocean On This Luxury Cruise Ship

A new inflatable slide lets Sea Dream guests experience an exhilarating dip into the sea from the ship's pool deck.

Quick Links

Sea dream yacht club an ultra-luxury experience, all-inclusive cruise fares make planning easy, two cruises to consider aboard sea dream yacht club.

Today's largest cruise ships have full-blown amusement parks onboard, with thrill rides like roller coasters, bumper cars, water slides, wave pools, and even a skydiving simulator. Small luxury cruise lines don't have those kinds of activities, but one, Sea Dream Yacht Club, has added something special to its water sports line-up: An inflatable water slide that lets cruisers slide right into the ocean from 19 feet above the water line .

Sea Dream has twin yachts, Sea Dream I and Sea Dream II, and offers all-inclusive luxury cruises in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Each yacht accommodates only about 110 guests, and water sports are a big part of the experience. Each ship has a retractable Watersports Marina Platform at the back of the vessel, offering a vast array of equipment such as personal sailboats, Hobie Cats, kayaks, wakeboards and waterskis, wave runners, jet skis, and more. With the addition of its new slide on Sea Dream II, guests can experience the refreshing exhilaration of sliding right into the clear blue sea. An identical slide is planned to be added to Sea Dream I in the coming months.

Related: Beginner's Guide to Cruising (& Things You Didn't Know)

The Sea Dream cruise line has been in business for about 20 years and is well-known among the luxury cruiser crowd as an exclusive, small-ship experience that feels more like yachting than cruising. In fact, the line’s trademark is “It’s Yachting, Not Cruising.” Sea Dream I has just five decks, while Sea Dream II has six, and their size allows them to anchor in small harbors and secluded ports that big ships have to avoid.

Both ships were built in the 1980s and used to be in the fleets of Cunard and Seabourn before being acquired by Sea Dream. As such, they don't have one of the in-demand amenities that newer ships have – balconies. But the two ships have four stateroom categories, all at luxury levels but without access to a private deck.

The Owner's Suite is 447 square feet and has a spacious living and dining area and a luxurious soaking tub with views of the ocean. Commodore Suites, at 390 square feet, have ocean views, two marble bathrooms, and a seating area. Admiral's Suites, at 375 square feet, feature three picture windows, living and dining areas, and a separate bedroom. Yacht Club Staterooms average 195 square feet, also with picture windows, marble baths, and a living area.

Both ships have outdoor pools, casinos, fitness centers, and spas, and meals are served in the Dining Salon or al fresco at the outdoor Topside Restaurant.

Like some of the other luxury-level cruise lines, Sea Dream Yacht Club rates include everything except airfares to and from the ships and certain specialty land adventures. Basic shore excursions, guided by Sea Dream staff, are included in the fare.

Also covered in the cruise fare are wine, beer, and cocktails, plus non-alcoholic beverages; all meals; gratuities; 24-hour room service with a room service menu; use of the water sports marina equipment; a golf simulator; mountain bikes for use in port; staff-guided port excursions; daily wellness classes such as yoga and Tai Chi; sauna and steam rooms; and even laptop computers guests can use onboard, among other amenities.

Specialty land adventures, such as a guided kayak tour of Portofino Bay , on the Italian Riviera, come with an extra charge. And while guests will not find a nightclub or disco on either of these ships, they can enjoy dancing to a pianist or guitarist in the main salon or at the Top of the Yacht Bar on both ships.

Sea Dream I and Sea Dream II both sail in the Mediterranean from May to October, then reposition to the Caribbean from November to April.

A seven-day French and Italian Riviera cruise aboard Sea Dream I in 2023 cruises from Rome to Nice, a Riviera city that's the perfect place to explore the Cote d'Azur . Port calls include Porto Ercole, Portoferraio, Elba, Portovenere, and Portofino, considered some of the best villages in the Italian Riviera , plus Monte Carlo, and St. Tropez, known as one of the top destinations in the south of France . Per-person cruise fares start at about $4,800.

In the Caribbean, guests can book Sea Dream II's seven-day Best of the British Virgin Islands & St. Barths cruise roundtrip from Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, in January. Port calls include Virgin Gorda, Prickly Pear, St. Barths, Saba, Norman Island, Gustavia, and Jost Van Dyke. Fares start at about $5,300 per person. Land adventures on this sailing feature scuba diving in Saba, and an exploration of Virgin Gorda's famous Baths , the mysterious group of sea caves and rock formations at the water's edge, often referred to as a geological wonder.

The AquaMouse is divided into two stories, each with its own set of animatronic scenes and special effects.
