6 breathtaking attractions on cruise ships

What's a cruise exactly? If you're thinking about a potentially romantic voyage with exotic locales, breathtaking views, sunbathing and poolside cocktails, you're spot on. But cruises are more than just that.

In fact, a cruise offers much more than a simple trip; it's a source of high-voltage emotions, thanks to some thrilling attractions introduced recently on many ships. What are they? Let's check out a few!

  • FlowRider: It's the attraction for feeling cool, provided you can keep your balance. It's a surfing simulator on Royal Caribbean cruise ships, challenging your balance on quite aggressive waves. Few can master the board with the air of never-losing winners, but many end up with their feet in the air even before they figure out where they are! Fun's guaranteed, whether you're an expert or a newbie in this.

  • The North Star: Staying aboard Royal Caribbean ships, let's explore another breathtaking attraction: The North Star, a mechanical arm capable of rising nearly 100 meters above sea level to offer you unparalleled views. Compared to FlowRider, The North Star is much more romantic, especially at sunset during navigation days!

  • Speedway: If you love speed, Norwegian Cruise Line ships might be perfect for you. Speedway is a real racing track on the highest decks of the latest fleet units, where you can race with your friends and the last one to arrive buys drinks!

  • RipCord: Flying on a ship? It's possible thanks to RipCord by iFly, an attraction on some Royal Caribbean ships where you can try a simulated skydiving session. You'll be amazed by the grace with which expert instructors perform intricate aerial maneuvers in front of you.

  • Bumper Cars: Are one of the main attractions on some Royal and MSC ships. The races are relatively short to give everyone a chance to enjoy the attraction, but the fun is guaranteed.

  • Bolt: When we said there's everything on a cruise ship, we really meant everything: even roller coasters. Bolt is indeed the flagship attraction of the latest Carnival Cruise Line fleet units, sea roller coasters can deliver pure adrenaline rushes.

  • The Crown Edge: It's an attraction designed for the bravest and the strongest-hearted. It's the latest invention from Royal Caribbean, a kind of adventure park that ends with a jump into the void beyond the ship's physical edge. But don't worry, you will return safely on board again.

  • SkyRide: What's better than a bike ride on a warm sunny day? We'll tell you: a pleasant bike ride with a view of the sea several meters above sea level. SkyRide is Carnival Cruise Line's attraction, a kind of panoramic bike route at high altitude!
