Spa and Fitness

Royal Caribbean Fitness Centers have all the equipment that major sports clubs have: weight machines, free weights, stationary spin bikes, elipticals, treadmills, sauna, whirlpool, steam room, and thermal suites. What you also get: sweeping ocean views that extend for miles. We offer all the latest classes for all levels of fitness, from pilates to spinning to kickboxing.

When it’s time to relax and rejuvenate, our Spas offer a wide variety of pampering services - treat yourself to an exotic jasmine bath or a super-indulgent stone massage.

Health and Medical

Each Royal Caribbean ship is equipped with a medical facility. At least one licensed physician and two nurses are normally in attendance on all Royal Caribbean cruises.
