From the moment you step aboard Independence of the Seas, prepare to be pampered by her Gold Anchor Service, a quality standard that means her crew will be attentive to your every need.
She’s a vast, Freedom Class cruise ship with 15 decks of activity, entertainment and accommodation options. Look forward to spacious and comfortable staterooms, sophisticated bars and lounges, a choice of casual or formal restaurants and some of the most innovative facilities afloat.
Families and fun-loving adults will have a wow of a time at the Aqua park where you can surf, swim and splash around with the help of water cannons and fountains. Kids are also kept thoroughly entertained by the fully supervised Adventure Ocean® Youth Programme.
You’ll find plenty of adult-only venues where you can kick back and relax, including a solarium with cascading waterfalls. If you’ve got a head for heights, you’ll also find whirlpools that are suspended 12 feet from the side of the ship and 112ft above the ocean!
With so many things to do onboard your cruise ship, you may never want to leave! Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, sun-lover or a ‘happy doing nothing’ person, you’ll find everything you need to enjoy your cruise holiday your own way, including:
Evenings on your cruise ship offer a feast of glamorous entertainment. The Arcadia theatre is decked out in art deco style and is a wonderful showcase for fantastic West End style productions, as well as acrobats, illusionists, comedians and more.
Casino RoyaleSM is one of the largest casinos afloat and features all your favourite gaming tables and slots. There are also fabulous ice-shows to watch, dancing on the top deck and Karaoke nights at the On Air Club.
Of course if you’d prefer to settle into a cosy corner with your favourite tipple, you have a wide choice of themed bars, often with live music to serenade you.
Your cruise ship’s main restaurant is a formal dining venue where you can linger over five fabulous courses, accompanied by fine wine and excellent service.
You also have a choice of smart-casual venues, including Asian-Fusion at Jade, juicy steaks at Chops Grill and delicious Italian cuisine at the intimate Portofino restaurant.
For a great night out with all the family, Johnny Rockets is a 50s style diner serving American hamburgers and more in a fun, laid back atmosphere.
