Explorer of the Seas
Marginally larger than her sister ships and thus the
largest passenger liner ever built until the QM2 and the new Freedom class Royal
Caribbean ships, this 137,308 gt giant is truly a floating city. Rock climbing,
ice skating, minigolf and inline skating; all this - and much more - is featured aboard this
spectacular megaliner. Explorer of the Seas now sails to the Eastern and Western Caribbean from
Miami, year-round.

Excerpts from RCI's Website
about the Explorer of the
Seas
There's never been a ship like this. Enjoy never-seen-before cruise features like
an ice-skating rink, a rock-climbing wall, a street fair – and more. There was only one way to
accommodate all of these innovative ideas. We built a bigger ship. The 142,000-ton, 3,114-guest
Explorer of the Seas boasts the highest space-per-guest ratio in the cruise market – and includes
enhanced staterooms, expanded dining options and exceptional recreational facilities. Explorer of
the Seas sails to the Eastern and Western Caribbean round trip from Miami.
