Navigator of the Seas
The first of five Royal Caribbean Voyager Class vessels, Navigator of the Seas is a big, spacious and friendly ship with the hallmark Voyager Class features. Adult guests will revel in the good life aboard great food and wine, Casino Royale and glittering evening entertainment. For families, the focus is on activities - the ice rink and mini-golf; swimming and climbing, and for those of a more relaxed disposition, Navigator’s spa, beauty and sun-bathing options are wonderful. Couples will gravitate to the intimate bars and the big-screen cinema, and for all types of guest there is a stateroom to fit the bill.

This voyager has real class! Exemplary Facilities... and more to come For the energetic, Navigator has much to offer - from rock climbing to basketball, and from ice-skating to mini-golf. Families with young kids are also well catered for, not least with the fun-filled Adventure Beach and there are teen-only areas on board, especially for young guests, determined to stay ‘cool’. And as part of her forthcoming refurbishment, Navigator will be equipped with new dining - a Park Cafe and Giovanni’s Table, an enhanced Concierge Lounge for suite guests and a new nursery, not to mention flat-screen TV’s in all cabins and Wi-fi facilities throughout the ship.
STAR BUY!
A Choice of Staterooms... and virtual balconies Like all Royal Caribbean ships, Navigator of the Seas offers a wide choice of suites and staterooms - ultra-luxurious split level suites and chic balcony cabins; equally well-appointed and competitively-priced exterior and interior cabins, and from early 2014 a number of those inside cabins will be the first in the Royal Caribbean fleet to have the cruise line’s exciting new ‘virtual balconies’, each with an 80-inch LED projection screen showing outside images. Without a doubt, they will be an instant hit and early booking is strongly advised.

Into 2014 and Navigator’s home port will become Galveston,Texas - rapidly expanding as a great embarkation point for the Caribbean… and the glorious Western Caribbean will welcome Navigator’s guests throughout next year, on a long series of 7 night cruises visiting ports as diverse as Falmouth, Jamaica; George Town on Grand Cayman and Cozumel in Mexico. Navigator of the Seas is already a breathtaking ship in every way, but with the addition of her ‘virtual balconies’ this voyager will have even more true class.

Destination Spotlight
Captivating Caribbean
Endless azure blue waters, bejewelled with hundreds of exotic islands. A tropical melting pot of nationalities, whose arrival over the centuries has invested each of these with its own character and flavour. Enjoying gorgeous weather, golden sands and an infectious zest for life, year-round.The freshest seafood, the liveliest music, and a party are never far away, calling out to cruise passengers young and old.
Endlessly intriguing; always memorable! The Western Caribbean - Accessible & Surprising As you would expect, from ports of call as close as Key West to the far tip of Cuba, the Western Caribbean is eminently accessible - from Fort Lauderdale and emerging embarkation points such as Galveston. And think in terms of more than the big name island destinations such as Grand Cayman and Jamaica - the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico - Costa Maya beckons, as do the increasingly popular ecological attractions of Belize. For diving and snorkelling, Roatan in Honduras is rightly on the rise, and the ancient Mayan city of Chitzen Itza is reachable from Progreso.This is a hugely popular part of the Caribbean - but it’s also full of surprises!

The Southern Caribbean - Understated & Exotic A little less developed and brash, the Southern Caribbean nonetheless revels in its eclectic and cosmopolitan ports, including Barbados and Grenada; Aruba and Martinique, and St Lucia and Nevis. Much more accessible now as embarkation ports like San Juan, New Orleans and Galveston open up, here you’ll find unbeatable beaches, eye-popping natural beauty and a distinctly ‘cool’ cafe and nightlife. For ultimate relaxation, you may go for a big ship cruise; whilst for those who hanker for the smaller ports there are many small ship cruises to choose from, and a clutch of European influences to follow - French, Dutch and British.
The Eastern Waters - Caribbean Essence If the essence of the Caribbean could be bottled, surely its eastern seas would be the main ingredient. St.Thomas, St. Maarten,Tortola and San Juan - to name a few - are a huge draw to cruise guests visiting the area for the first time. For water sports and history; shopping and culture, the Eastern Caribbean is unrivalled, and even in its peak season - from Christmas through to Easter - the climate is really gentle and comfortable.The range of styles and durations of cruise to these waters is vast; it’s great for families and there are still new ports emerging, including the Dominican Republic.
Perfect for Cruising The Caribbean could have been especially conceived for cruising - in its vast area, its myriad of islands and its warm, comfortable and dependable climate. Ever more accessible, today this magical destination is featured in a wide range of cruises, not only from traditional embarkation ports such as Fort Lauderdale but also from rapidly developing ports like Galveston in Texas, New York and New Orleans. For some, the Caribbean is familiar - even predictable - territory, but with the right expert travel advice, it’s still endlessly intriguing and always memorable!
