Voyager of the Seas is back! And to celebrate, after her $80 million dollar refit, Royal Caribbean invited 1400 travel agents, bloggers and 50 of their Aussie Facebook fans on board to take part in a massive party.
The exclusive one night party at sea allowed guests, including some-time Where to next? collaborator Thatraveller, a sneak peek at the multi-million dollar refit, which includes the addition the Flowrider, Australia’s first surf experience at sea. Other new features include a 3D cinema, three new signature specialty restaurants; Chops Grille Steakhouse, Giovanni’s table Italian and Izumi’s Japanese.

There’s also a outdoor poolside movie screen and Australia’s first virtual balcony staterooms which show realtime views of the ship’s surrounding in interior staterooms.
Voyager of the Seas is Australia’s largest superliner, and also features an ice skating rink, basketball court, rock climbing wall and the Royal Promenade; an indoor street with shops, bars and cafes.
Facebook fans were asked to vote for their favourite party song to win an invitation to the party, and winners were entertained on the night by Nathaniel, who performed one of Royal Caribbean’s Top 10 party songs: Live Louder.
It might have only been a one-night cruise on #VoyagerOfTheSeas, but WOW, what a night! @royalcaribbean_aunz have recently given parts of the ship an upgrade, and we were lucky to be amongst a horde of travel industry peeps to check it all out. The #FlowRider was a definite crowd pleaser, as were the parties, ice skating show and of course the fireworks by the Opera House as we set sail. #royalcaribbeantime A photo posted by Paul Fleming (@lovethywalrus) on

Hi,
We just got off a 14 day trip with Voyager of the Seas. We paid over $10K for the trip and had two teens 18 & 15. What you may not realised on your short trip, was that 15 year were specifically excluded from the majority of activities. children activities ended at 14. Adult activities started at 18. She could not even partake in the hoola hoop competition!
It was a great boat and trip – just thought you’d like to know.
Thanks for the great feedback Heather – nothing for 15-18-year olds – that’s a gaping hole that needs filling! Although I’m not sure teens like organised activities. Mine actually really enjoyed the shows – and even the bingo. Did your teens try the flow rider?
