Voyager of the Seas tends to suit travelers who prefer mid-sized ships with the iconic Royal Promenade, ice skating rink, and rock climbing wall that revolutionized cruising. It's ideal if you want Royal Caribbean's signature service and entertainment without the massive scale of mega-ships like Oasis or Icon class. If you're looking for the absolute newest venues, cutting-edge technology, or neighborhood layouts, you may want to explore Quantum, Oasis, or Icon class instead.

The Ship That Started It All

When Voyager of the Seas launched in 1999, it was the largest cruise ship in the world. That sentence alone tells you something important about both the ship and the industry it helped create.

At 137,276 gross tons and about 3,114 guests at double occupancy, Voyager introduced features the cruise world had never seen: the Royal Promenade—an indoor shopping street running the length of the ship, flanked by bars, restaurants, and shops—the first rock climbing wall at sea, the first ice skating rink on a cruise ship, and a mini-golf course on the top deck. It proved that cruise ships could offer resort-level amenities at sea, and Royal Caribbean has been building on that blueprint ever since.

Every subsequent class of Royal Caribbean ship traces its DNA back to decisions made on Voyager. The neighborhood concept on Oasis class? That's an evolution of the Royal Promenade as a central gathering spine. The entertainment ambition on Icon class? It started with Voyager's ice shows, which demonstrated that audiences would embrace theatrical spectacle at sea. The rock climbing wall that appears on nearly every Royal Caribbean ship? Voyager's idea, tested here first.

Today, Voyager is no longer the biggest, newest, or flashiest ship in the fleet. Oasis class dwarfs it. Icon class makes it look quaint. Ships half Voyager's age have already been refurbished twice. But Voyager still offers what it always has: a dependable, mid-to-large ship with enough variety to keep you entertained without overwhelming you with size or gimmicks.
