One minute you’re soaking up sweeping ocean views, the next you’re totally immersed in another place, anywhere in the world — or maybe somewhere you’ve never even imagined.

Music Hall

Sing along to the old standbys at this piano bar. It’s a hot spot for performers and passengers alike to assemble for a late night of partying! You can even pick up one of our ‘I SURVIVED THE SCHOONER BAR’ T-shirts from the ships onboard shops to remember (or try to) the memories made on board!

Schooner Bar

After you’ve taken a ride on the North Star, featuring brilliant 360º views from 300 feet above sea level, celebrate your unforgettable ascent with something sparkling, mixed, frosty, or tropical. At North Star Bar, the sips are just as impressive as the sights. ($)

Whatever kind of foot long you fancy, Dog House serves up the best sausages at sea. (Included Lunch, Dinner Casual)

SeaPlex

On board, kids aren’t just kids. They’re scientists exploring the insect world, eye-patched pirates or the next great athlete to take the gold at the Wacky Olympics. With interactive programmes and activities designed just for their age group, Adventure Ocean gives kids the chance to discover a whole new side of themselves.

  • Aquanauts (Ages 3-5) – These little at-sea adventurers will enjoy the magic of Bubbling Potions, uncover the dinosaur-sized secrets of Jurassic Jr. and take over the ship with the Pirate Party Parade. Parents of three-year-olds can opt for pagers so that Adventure Ocean staff can stay in touch.
  • Explorers (Ages 6-8) – Space Mud, Fossil Fever, Meteorology Madness! Hands-on science gets young minds churning – along with explorations of the fine arts with Adventure Art and Adventure Theatre. Round off the night with dancing through the decades and ice cream for all.
  • Voyagers (Ages 9-12) – How about a scavenger hunt with new friends from across the world? That’s just the beginning for Voyagers, who enjoy programmes including sports tournaments, talent shows, video game showdowns and much more.

    The teen programme isn’t just a structured set of classes or rules – these “almost adults” deserve a holiday all their own. So we give them the freedom they deserve, to join pre-planned events throughout the day or simply hang out in teen-only spaces – with Adventure Ocean staff that keep the good times coming.

    • Ages 12 to 14 – Get active with rock climbing competitions, dodgeball and Dance Dance Revolution, then take it down a notch at BBQs and film nights. Plus, the chance to let your star shine with open-mic nights, talent shows and the Scratch DJ Academy.
    • Ages 15 to 17 – Join new friends at theme nights, pool parties and teen dinners. Feeling the competitive spirit? Challenge on the karaoke stage, on the Wii or on the basketball court and see who takes home the glory.
