Royal Caribbean: Action-packed vacations on innovative ships

Royal Caribbean International is the perfect cruise line for people looking for an active, high-energy vacation. These ships are great for families, active people who will take advantage of the amenities — zipline, ice skating or surf simulator, anyone? — and guests who want to experience great dining and nonstop entertainment.

Royal Caribbean consistently scoops up readers choice and travel publication awards for its long tradition of innovation and industry firsts. The cruise line features an expansive and unmatched array of features and amenities, including high-end entertainment and industry-acclaimed programming that appeals to families and adventurous vacationers alike. On the top-tier ships, expect Broadway-caliber production shows, lounge acts and even  synchronized swimming shows. Its large ships are also known for much better Internet connectivity at sea than you'll get on most ships. 

Who will like sailing on Royal Caribbean 

If you like small and quiet, Royal ships are probably not for you. If you like megaships in all their splashy grandeur, this is your cruise line. Royal boasts the four largest cruise ships in the world — Symphony of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas — and its upcoming ship Wonder of the Seas will top even those in size. 

There are better choices for exploring Alaska and some of the smaller ports of call around the world. But no cruise line (apart from Carnival) matches Royal for its wide array of popular destinations in the Caribbean, Europe, Alaska, South America, Far East, and Australia and New Zealand. World renowned for its crew members' friendly and engaging Gold Anchor Service, Royal Caribbean has been voted Best Cruise Line Overall for a dozen consecutive years in the Travel Weekly Readers Choice Awards.

Private islands: Like other major cruise lines, Royal Caribbean operates its own private island in CocoCay (pronounced Coco key), its eco-friendly private island paradise in the Bahamas, and Labadee, a pretty little slice of the Caribbean on the north coast of Haiti.
