Symphony of the Seas: activities
You’ll find 23 pools, waterslides and Flowriders onboard Symphony of the Seas. Dare you ride the 10 storey Ultimate Abyss slide – the tallest waterslide at sea. Or what about The Perfect Storm trio of water slides? There’s also plenty of poolside fun for kids in the Splashaway Bay water park.
Symphony of the Seas has seven zones designed for families so spend time together or apart doing the things they love best. For frazzled adults there’s the Sea Spa and Fitness Centre or quiet spots in Central Park to enjoy a book or some retail therapy. Meanwhile younger passengers will enjoy hanging out in the Youth, Pool and Sports zones, with climbing walls, a games arcade, a zip line, mini golf and sports courts.
The award-winning and complimentary Adventure Ocean® Youth Programme is a great place for kids to make new friends and learn new skills. Plus there’s Royal Babies for tots aged six to 36 months (additional charge).
