About Voyager of the Seas
The majestic cruise ship set out on her maiden voyage on 21st November, 1999. During the day, the ivory vessel weaves its way through the water like an agile beast and come sundown, the ship resembles a glittering jewel adrift the sea.
Wake up to the sound of the sea
With a massive total of 1,643 rooms, all the cabins on the ship come with en-suite bathrooms and an interactive television service. Offering the perfect escape from the ship's buzzing environment, the staterooms are a class apart.
The suites come with views that will make you swoon and a list of deluxe amenities that doesn't end. You could also curl up with a fat novel on one of the sun loungers in the balcony rooms that usher you in with the waves right outside your door. Or wake up to a different glimpse of the sea with the alluring ocean view cabins. And lastly, the interior staterooms that overlook the heart of the ship – the festive street of Royal Promenade. Dotted with boutique shops, cafes and pubs, this area is home to many a parade, concerts and dance parties.
Set your pulse racing
Bedecked with possibly every amenity you can dream of, the Voyager delights you at every bend. Those seeking an adrenaline rush, can grab a board and let the 40-foot-long surf simulator do its magic.
Head to the incredible ice-skating rink to show off your moves or strap in, and use the rock climbing wall forty feet above deck for some spectacular views. The nine-hole miniature golf course is a favourite with children and adults alike and the kaleidoscopic arcade equipped with the newest games and those from the 80s and 90s sees its share of both wily grandmothers and ace gamers.
Taste the world on your plate
The three-level main dining room – aptly named, Sapphire will make your jaw drop. Utterly gorgeous and what resembles a scene straight out the movie Titanic, it guarantees you warm, personal service and sumptuous food.
Favoured by the masses, Windjammer Café with its sweeping menu leaves you spoilt for choice. The bounteous buffet features everything from an array of salads, pastas, curries and desserts, to the interactive stations that offer fresh-pressed panini, frittatas and omelettes, juices blended before your eyes and so on.
Created for a midnight craving or simply a quick bite to eat, Café Promenade charms its way into your heart with its fresh sandwiches and pizzas straight out of the oven. Grab a table and a coffee and engage in an hour or so of people-watching.
While these complimentary restaurants are a delight to visit, the speciality dining options are designed to enthrall you. Giving the traditional steakhouse a face-lift, the contemporary menu at Chops Grille dishes out the succulent offerings of prime beef, Maine lobster and veal Parmesan. Giovanni’s Table indulges you with one Italian delicacy after the other. Make sure you try the refreshing Caprese salad and the comforting Bolognese. Johnny Rockets delivers the typical American fare of hamburgers, fries and shakes. Only, this comes with a breathtaking view of the sea. But quite possibly the cruise ship's most heavenly establishment is the elegant Izumi. Bringing all the flavours of Far East right to your plate – this dining experience serves up everything from sushi to sashimi, and each plate of food will find a way to hack into your Instagram feed.
Unplug with a beer by the sea
Travel back in time at Schooner Bar with the pianist crooning away into the night. Get yourself a pint from Pig and Whistle – the English pub seems to be picked right out of a buzzing street in London. From ales and lagers, to UK-themed cocktails, the bar is privy to many a live gig. The Pool Bar is, however, the most vibrant of the lot. Catch the sunset here with a frozen Daiquiri or two. You could also get your drink on at the ship's glitzy Solarium Bar or the rustic Tavern.
Round-the-clock entertainment
From jazz sets to techno-inspired cabarets, the Voyager of the Sea will captivate you with its impeccable original productions. Our absolute favourite – the Music in Pictures show steals your heart and how! Featuring songs from beloved musicals to chart-topping hits, this set will have you grooving by the end of the night. With appearances from your beloved DreamWorks characters – the entire bandwagon of Po, Puss in Boots, Shrek, the Penguins of Madagascar and so on, the parades on the Royal Promenade are a joyous celebration and a must-do. The ship also boasts of a legendary nightlife and the options are as expected – endless. Pump it up at the pool parties where dance classics and drinks will be pouring away till midnight or attend one of the dance parties that are a sure-fire riot with charismatic cruise director, Ricky Matthews and troupe. If all of the above hasn't whet your appetite yet, there's a 220 square foot movie screen on the pool deck and an extravagant casino to keep you busy as a bee.
For a slightly different experience, get yourself the all access tour. This gets you an exclusive glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of keeping a cruise ship up and running. You can take a trip down to the galley and see the brilliant team of chefs cooking and prepping to cater nearly 4,000 guests every day or explore the enlightening engine control room.

You'll never run out of things to do at the ship. There's nonstop activity at every corner to keep you entertained throughout the day. But in case you're looking for an hour or two of unadulterated, uninterrupted relaxation, the Voyager has you covered.
