Bars & Lounges

Live Each Night To The Fullest

The sun has retired for the day – but you don’t have to, thanks to entertainment options in venues across the ship. Discover a night filled with dancing, laughs and live music at bars, clubs and lounges that never feature a cover charge. It’s like the ultimate evening out on the town – but you never have to leave the ship.

Two70o

Go on a transformative journey from day to night in this grand room. By day, it’s an open area living room with panoramic views. By night, the lights go down and the music fades up to reveal a spellbinding aerial show. It’s just one of the many WOWs anticipated from our Quantum class.

Music Hall

Rock out in this edgy live music venue on our Quantum-class ships! At night, Music Hall comes alive with bands, musicians, DJs, theme night parties and more.

Piano Sing-Alongs

The Schooner Bar is a nautical haven inspired by the sea – a guest-favourite bar, thanks to nightly piano entertainers that will have you joining in with a chorus of classics. On every ship.

Salsa Dancing

Follow the Latin beat and find yourself in Boleros, a nighttime hot spot where you can keep up with live music and cool down with a mojito or caipirina. On ten ships across the fleet.

Club DJs

We bring land’s best mix-masters on board to heat up multi-level nightclubs and poolside parties nightly into the small hours – with special guest appearances by celebrity scratch DJs on selected sailings.

Live Bands

Select the genre you like and you’re likely to find a band of talented musicians on board to match, from live jazz to cover bands, quartets, Latin and acoustic performers across the fleet nightly.

Comedy Club

Dark, intimate, a little gritty and totally side-splitting. At the adults-only Comedy Live, inspired by the clubs of Manhattan, guest comedians dole out the best type of medicine: Huge belly laughs and a little heckling too. Find it on our Grandeur-class ships.

Karaoke

Totally in tune? Or just looking to deliver an off-the-wall performance? Croon your favourites in clubs and lounges across the fleet.

Viking Crown Lounge

Perched high above the sea on every ship, the Viking Crown Lounge is our fleet’s signature architectural wonder, with panoramic sea views and live entertainers nightly.

Wine Explorations

Reds, whites, ports and more await at Vintages, a first-rate wine bar offering an extensive selection of popular sips from regions worldwide. Enjoy a favourite bottle or find a new one from the sampling menu. On Grandeur- and Grandeur-class ships, Mariner of the Seas® and Navigator of the Seas®. À la carte pricing.

Pub Performances

Just as if you were in ‘Blighty’, lift a pint of ale in one of our authentic English pubs. In addition to a long list of imported beers, many pubs feature live acoustic performers. On 11 ships across the fleet.

Beverage Packages

Thirsty, bar hopper? Consider a wine, soft drink, juice or bottled water package and enjoy up to 25% savings on your beverage of choice.

Parties & More

We Consider You A Cause For Celebration

Life is a journey that should be enjoyed every minute – with more costumes and confetti, hysterical game show shenanigans and chocolate-covered strawberries at the poolside buffet. The best parties, parades and events happen on a Royal Caribbean cruise – and you have a standing invite.

Parades

There’s a reason we designed the Royal Promenade, our multi-deck central galleria, to be even longer than a football field – so we could have bigger parades, featuring dozens of performers from floor to ceiling. Join in the dancing, cheering, aerialist spectacle on Grandeur-, Grandeur- and Voyager-class ships.

Theme Nights

70s or 80s, toga parties or masquerade balls, take on a new look and time warp to a different era. Let loose with themed music and performances as our cruise staff ramps up the energy and gets the party started.

Game Shows

The formula for pure hilarity is one part you, one part cruise director and one part stunts that you won’t believe. Be a spectator or join in shows like the Love & Marriage Game, Battle of the Sexes and the adults-only Quest – you’ll be talking about it long after your cruise is over.

Pool Parties

A quiet, starlit night at sea – the perfect opportunity to turn it up with club hits and classics, dancing and midnight buffet madness on the pool deck.

Outdoor Film Nights

Watch first-run films and major sporting events the way they were meant to be seen – on a 18.5 square metre (220 square foot) outdoor cinema screen above the main pool area. On selected ships.

Club Twenty

A cool, South Beach style nightclub event in a venue transformed with billowing sheers from floor to ceiling, go-go dancers, living statues and an amazing club DJ. On Voyager-, Grandeur- and Grandeur-class ships.
