What's Explorer of the Seas like?

Resort-style ships packed with onboard attractions, shows and dining choices, suited to travelers who want the ship itself to be a main part of the holiday.

  • Biggest ships, wide size range: Icon and Oasis classes are among the largest ships afloat; older classes are smaller with fewer signature attractions.
  • Attraction-heavy onboard program: Waterslides, surf simulators, climbing walls and production shows feature widely, but specific attractions differ ship to ship.

Worth knowing: Some older ships draw weaker reviews for upkeep, food and cabin size; check your ship's class and age, not just the brand.
