Best Watersides At Sea

Elaborate water parks are becoming a big draw onboard the mega cruise ships sailing the seas. Our boys love some of the waterparks at sea (even the big kid at times!).  They range from basic slides, slides that extend over the ship, speed slides, drop from the floor slides, surfing, and ultimate twister slides.  They are fun for all ages and here are some of the best:

Disney AquaDuck

Onboard Disney Cruise Line's Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy ships, passengers can get the thrill of going down the AquaDuck, a water slide that is four decks high and extends off the edge of the ship.

Norwegian Cruise Line Epic Plunge

As the first bowl slide at sea, the Epic Plunge — onboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Epic cruise ship — takes passengers loop-de-looping down a fun slide that ends in a splash.

Carnival Speedway Splash

The line's newest ship makeover, the Carnival Sunshine, introduce guests to the Speedway Splash, which mimics a race as you slide your way to the finish line amid flashing lights.






Royal Caribbean Flowrider

Only Royal Caribbean gives you the chance to catch a wave right onboard. Grab a board and hang ten on our 40-foot-long surf simulator, or cheer on friends from stadium seating with prime wipeout views. Give it a go – it's included in the cost of your cruise, no reservation required.

Norwegian Cruise Line Free Fall

The Breakaway-class of ships have introduced the Whip water slides: two exciting new rides that let guests race to the bottom through tubes set up right next to each other.

Disney AquaDunk

A new thrill slide coming to the Disney Magic. The AquaDunk takes passengers down a vertical drop before sending them 20 feet over the edge of the ship in a translucent tube.
