StartexploringAlaska
Rugged mountain ranges, unspoiled wilderness, glimmering glaciers and misty fjords — there are so many reasons to visit
Alaska. And while there’s no shortage of options when it comes to diving deep into this northern state’s stark natural beauty,
there’s nothing quite like experiencing Alaska on board the revolutionary cruise ship Ovation of the Seas®, sailing Alaska
summer cruises from Seattle.
Part of the Royal Caribbean Quantum Class, the ship has been hailed the biggest and boldest to ever sail the Alaska coast.
That’s quite a claim to make. But when you consider views from every stateroom, one-of-a-kind on board activities you can
enjoy in any climate, world class dining, bar-raising entertainment and nightlife, you’ll find Ovation® more than lives up to the
title. Still not convinced? Here are just a few reasons why Ovation of the Seas® is the best way to visit Alaska.
Views no other Alaska cruise ship can offer
Ovation of the Seas® has more balconies than any ship
cruising to Alaska. It’s also the only ship in the region that
offers views from every room. Even interior and single
studio staterooms have virtual balconies showcasing live,
real time views of the breath taking scenery outside.
Thrills onboard no matter the forecast
The Seaplex hosts a full-size basketball court, bumper cars,
a roller rink and even a trapeze school. Join a hang-ten
session on the FlowRider® and experience an exhilarating
free-fall in a transparent chamber on RipCord by iFLY, the
only skydiving simulator at sea.
Incredible theatres and entertainment spaces
Two70 is a unique, ground breaking venue that offers
sweeping panoramic sea views through floor-to-ceiling
glass walls spanning almost three decks. When the sun
goes down, the space fuses dynamic technology and live
entertainment to create dazzling displays were talented
performers and dancing robotic screens follow electrifying
choreography in a never-before-seen blend of art and tech.
More than a dozen places to dine
At Izumi Japanese Cuisine you’ll find lots of freshlyprepared
rolls to satisfy your sushi craving, while the team
at Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver serves up all your
favourite Tuscan-inspired flavours family-style. Prime meat
and steakhouse classics take centre stage at Chops Grille,
and at Wonderland Imaginative Cuisine you can take your
taste buds on a wild ride with enchanted elixirs and
whimsical culinary creations.
