Voyager of the Seas
The ship that started it all — now sailing Asia and the South Pacific.
Voyager of the Seas was the world's largest cruise ship at launch — the first with an interior Royal Promenade, a full-size ice rink, a rock climbing wall and a mini-golf course. Two decades and a $97m amplification later, she's still one of the best-travelled ships at sea, based across Southeast Asia and Australia and sailing some of the most interesting itineraries in the fleet.

Onboard
Standout features, at a glance.
A high-level look. We'll go deeper on any of these — including the shows worth pre-booking — when we speak.
The Royal Promenade
The Voyager-class original — the interior 'street' with shops, pubs and cafés. Parades, parties and the classic Royal Caribbean atmosphere still happen here.
FlowRider & The Perfect Storm
Surf simulator and twin Perfect Storm racing waterslides added in the 2019 amplification — proper active-family features.
Studio B ice rink
A working ice rink with the signature RC skating show — one of the most memorable sea-day experiences at sea.
Speciality dining refreshed
Chops Grille, Giovanni's Table, Izumi and Chef's Table — a full speciality line-up, plus a refreshed Windjammer buffet.
The Tavern & Schooner Bar
Pub, live piano bar and Viking Crown Lounge up top — a proper choice of grown-up spaces for a long-voyage ship.
Asia & South Pacific specialist
Singapore round-trips into Thailand and Vietnam, Hong Kong to Japan, and seasonal Australia/South Pacific — itineraries you won't get on the newer ships.
Cabins & where to book
Not all balconies are equal.
On a longer Asia or Australia sailing, cabin choice matters more — you're on board for two weeks or more, in warm and sometimes humid conditions. We'll steer you to the right side of the ship for the scenic days and away from the small handful of cabins we'd avoid.
We'll steer you clear of the obstructed views, the cabins under the pool deck and the noisy connecting doors — and towards the ones that quietly go for the same money.
Best value
Mid-ship balcony, Deck 7 or 8
Quiet, steady in weather, quick access to the Royal Promenade and pool deck. The cabin we book most often on Voyager.
Family sweet spot
Promenade-view interior, Deck 7
Bay windows onto the interior street — much brighter than a standard interior, a fraction of the balcony price. Great for a two-week Asia sailing with teens.
Scenic splurge
Aft balcony, Deck 9 or 10
The wake view sailing out of Singapore or through the Coral Sea is unbeatable. Books early — ask as soon as your dates open.
Avoid
Deck 2 & 3 outside cabins under the Promenade
Late-night footfall and music can carry. We'll flag exactly which cabin numbers are affected before you commit.

Why book Voyager of the Seas with Valora
A Royal Guru in your corner.
- Asia and Australia fly-cruises need more planning than a Caribbean sailing — flights, stopovers, visas and pre-cruise hotels. We handle the whole package.
- Pre-book FlowRider, speciality dining and the ice show the moment your booking opens — the popular slots go quickly on a long voyage.
- Honest guidance on drinks, Wi-Fi and shore excursions — most people over-buy at least one of them.
- If Voyager's region isn't quite right, we'll say so — Explorer, Anthem and Ovation also sail Asia and Australia and each suits a slightly different guest.
- Named Royal Guru on WhatsApp before, during and after — not a call-centre queue.
