Hero of the Seas

To see discounted cruises on this ship, use the Find a Bargain box on the left.

Hero of the Seas is built for the ultimate family adventure. Start your day at Category 6, the biggest waterpark at sea, which features a world-first funnel raft slide. If you’d rather relax, pick from nine different pools—the most ever on a cruise ship. Adults can enjoy The Hideaway, an infinity pool with a massive swim-up bar, while kids play in the Surfside neighborhood. Or, test your courage on Crown’s Edge—part skywalk, part zip line experience 154 feet above the ocean. When you're hungry, you can choose from 28 places to eat. You can enjoy live jazz at the Orleans Parish Supper Club or take a "train ride" through different countries at the Royal Railway restaurant. There are even family cooking classes where everyone can learn to bake and cook together. For entertainment, head to the AquaDome for diving shows with ocean views, or visit Absolute Zero to see world-class ice skaters on the biggest rink at sea. The rooms are just as exciting as the activities. The new Ultimate Family Treehouse spans three decks and includes a private whirlpool and a special hangout for teenagers. You can also stay in a Sunset Suite for amazing views or an Interior Plus for a comfortable stay while resting up for the next big day of adventure. From the FlowRider® surf simulator to the thousands of real plants in Central Park, this ship has everything you need for a legendary vacation.
