EPIC adventures on world's biggest cruise ship - Harmony of the Seas!

In case you thought the largest cruise ship in the world, Harmony of the Seas, would make you in to a lazy boy gulping down cocktails, lazying by the pool and chilling in the sun, you would be far from right. The ship has something for everyone, and if you are someone who enjoys adrenaline rush, then you are in for a treat!

Adventures on-board Harmony of the Seas

I spent a few days on-board Harmony of the Seas earlier this year as part of the press invite and tried out some, but not all, of these actions first hand. So without much ado, let me present the top five adventures on the world’s largest cruise:

The Ultimate Abyss - the tallest slide at sea

Now this is the most EPIC adventure activity you can do on Harmony of the Seas. The ten story slide is 150 feet above sea level and the guests will slide down a speed of nine miles per hour.

Unlike what you might think, it’s a dry slide and you don’t need to don your swimming costumes to try it out. Well, if you want you still can :)

The Perfect Storm 

This tremendous trio of water slides is our Perfect Storm. Typhoon, Cyclone and Supercell are their names, and they’re here to take you on a wet, wild ride.

Zip Line - nine decks in the air and 82 feet across

Brace yourself for a spine-tingling rush as you race across the Oasis class' Boardwalk®, suspended nine decks in the air. It’s a thrill you won’t find on any other cruise line.
Included in your fare, no reservation required.

Two FlowRider® surf simulators

A flowerier is a Surf simulator where adventure enthusiasts can surf, even on a floating ship. Many of the ships in the fleet of Royal Caribbean have these simulators and it’s quite a lot of fun to surf in the ocean, but not on the ocean.

These simulators are great to not only to practice your surfing tricks, but also learn if you are new to it. There are usually trainers right there, and if you are on the ship, you might as well give it a shot :)

Rock climbing Wall

Rise to the occasion and take on our signature rock wall. From beginners to speed climbers, everyone can enjoy an unparalleled view from 43 feet above deck.
Included in your fare, no reservation required.

The Ultimate Jog

Hit the lanes of the top-deck jogging track for a sunrise stroll or morning mile, with 360-degree views along the way. I kept planning to hit the jogging highway every single morning I was on the ship, but could never go and run.

However, Mridula and I took a long walk on the jogging track after multiple rounds of cocktails while we hopped the bars in the afternoon. We almost bumped into a few joggers (which means some people thought more about health than we did), but were quickly forgiven when we showed our cameras.

And finally, if you don't like any of these, but just want to play some sports, you won't again be disappointed!

And finally at the end of the day after all the hard work, you might just want to lie down and enjoy the sun setting down in the ocean.

  1. We went to Lakshadweep on a cruise this year, but that's no where close to being a luxury cruise. And now after going through all your Harmony of the Seas posts, I can't wait to get on the huge ship sometime soon :)
