Adventures of all sizes – for all sizes – headlines family time onboard Star of the Seas℠. This is memory-making done right, lining up a lifetime of unforgettable experiences. Pump up the adrenaline with the whole crew, crushing record-breaking slides and playing fam-friendly games.
From the moments that race at a hundred miles an hour to the moments when time stands still, this is the trip that sparks a thousand stories.
FAM-TASTIC ADVENTURES FOR ALL
And if you’re craving some more family time, there are plenty of ways to connect with the crew without losing your sense of adventure. Shoot to thrill at Laser Tag: Rise of Poseidon℠ — or come together and battle the clock at Royal Escape Room℠, with two games onboard for the first time ever and double the fun for your family.
And if it’s a more laid-back vibe you’re chasing, challenge the crew to a game of mini golf at Lost Dunes℠. When you’re done, bring your A-game to the Sports Court, where every match is a memory in the making. The ship regularly hosts volleyball and basketball tournaments here — and since younger adventurers can join in on the fun, this is easily one of the best cruise ships for kids.
While there are plenty of thrills onboard, Star of the Seas delivers unforgettable fun in the “chill” department, too. Soak up infinite ocean views from the Water’s Edge pool while the kids ramp up the action-packed adventure at Splashaway Bay℠.
But if you’d rather splash and play together, there’s room for everyone in Royal Bay℠, the largest pool at sea. After all, a family that floats together stays together.
FAMILY FUN TAKES CENTER STAGE
ADMIRAL AWESOME
Take memory-maxing to the edge of your seat on Star of the Seas℠, one of the best luxury cruise ships for families. This ship is overflowing with opportunities for families of all shapes and sizes to connect and make bolder memories together.
When you’re a kid, bigger is always better, and the Larger Than Life Family Festival supersizes friendly competition with giant versions of everyone’s favorites. We’re talking colossal bowling pins, a towering ring toss target, giant darts and more. And if you’re craving a different tune, the Steel Pan Family Jam™ will have you playing fresh Caribbean rhythms in the key of sea in no time.
When the sun goes down, that doesn’t mean the family fun has to stop. On Star of the Seas, even bedtime for your little ones can be an opportunity for family time. Tuck in your tiny adventurers for an epic tale at Once Upon a Bedtime Story — or crank up the volume at the Family SHUSH! Silent Party. Groove out to your own personal party playlist while your family members do the exact same thing a few feet away, making for belly-busting laughs you’ll be talking about long after your vacation ends.
And all throughout your fun-fueled escapades onboard, you’ll be led by Admiral Awesome — the ship-wide superstar who is commandeering adventures and setting a course for vacation victory. From moments big to small, Admiral Awesome makes each day onboard a forever family memory on this adventure cruise for all ages.
AWESOME APPETITES
Food tastes better with family on this fun cruise ship for multi-generational adventurers. So assemble your most awesome appetites — because Star of the Seas℠ is where family and culinary come together for a fireworks show of flavors.
Treat your little explorers to kid- approved bites at AquaDome Market or go for a bold bite. There’s so much variety available here, you can easily find something that will satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. And if you’re craving flavor that’s a little more south of the border, grab a quick snack at El Loco Fresh®. Here, you’ll be treated to an authentic Mexican buffet filled with burritos, quesadillas and other cheesy-filled goodies many kids love.
Your next stop is Basecamp℠, where you can chow down on familiar faves like smash burgers. And if it’s something sweet you’re craving as a midday snack, snag some cinnamon sugar churros at Surfside Bites℠.
When the sun starts to set and you’re ready to gather the whole crew together for dinner, you can’t go wrong with catching a meal in the main dining room — or indulge in a low-key feast at Surfside Eatery℠, the family- neighborhood hotspot with favorites for any appetite. And if your kids have a taste for elegance, indulge in teppanyaki theatrics at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi℠ for a wow-worthy way to round out your evening.
Once your meal is finished, it’s time to fully satisfy your sweet tooth. Laugh the real world away and indulge in a sky-high milkshake from Desserted℠ — where you’ll find boozy adult versions of classic sips — or slide down to The Lemon Post℠ for a quick sip, testing far-out concoctions. With so many options, this is easily one of the fun cruise ships to delight the most adventurous eaters in your crew.
