Thinking about a cruise for your next family holiday? There’s plenty of entertainment to be enjoyed en route to Vietnam, Japan and the Philippines on Royal Caribbean’s brand new cruise ship, which has a variety of cruises from Hong Kong. The team from Jebsen Holidays brings us up to speed.
Spectrum of the Seas
Spectrum of the Seas is the latest entry in the Royal Caribbean International fleet, and the global cruise company hasn’t held back when it comes to the fun and games available on board. Whether you love live shows, immersive technology experiences or high-energy sports, you’ll find it all across the 16 decks of this 4,900-passenger ship.
Seven onboard highlights
#1 Two70
This two-storey theatre takes its name for the 270-degree views out of its towering floor-to-ceiling windows – windows that become a giant projection surface for presenting spectacular digital art, from iconic city skylines to larger-than-life waterfalls. In addition, a troupe of six “Roboscreens” come to life in sync with music, special effects and live performers. Currently showing at Two70 is The Silk Road, an original Royal Caribbean production that celebrates the rich and diverse cultures, colours, music and visuals of the famous trade route.
#2 Sky Pad
A virtual-reality bungee trampoline experience located on the aft of the ship, the Sky Pad sees guests strap in and don a VR headset to transport them to another time and planet.
#3 Battle for Planet Z
An epic glow-in-the-dark laser tag adventure that brings two teams of eight head to head in an out-of-the-world adventure to determine who will claim the last planet in the galaxy.
#4 Royal Theatre
This impressive venue has seating for 1,300 guests and is home to two more new productions. The Effectors introduces four superheroes with the power to change the world: Captain Coreo controls movement and motion; Lume controls light and laser, Pixel controls video and projection, and Reverb controls sound and audio! The superheroes unite their powers to fight the evil enemy, Crash. Meanwhile, Showgirl! Present. Future takes guests on the iconic journey of the ultimate entertainer, the Showgirl, and features vocal performances, costumes and lighting and video effects to stimulate all the senses.
#5 Expedition Two70
Test your adventuring skills with these four fully immersive augmented reality games. Raise temples, blast ruins and more on your quest to recover ancient masks and complete your quest.
#6 Star Moment
A lively and energetic karaoke venue where family and friends can belt out and sing like stars.
#7 SeaPlex
The largest indoor sports and entertainment complex at sea, this venue provides sports experiences from various parts of the world, from China’s national game, table tennis, to American basketball, roller-skating, which originated in Holland, plus fencing, archery and more.
