Adventure For All Ages
The Perfect Storm℠
The boldest waterslides at sea come with hair-raising twists, turns and adrenaline-amping fun! Your customers can race down the twisting, bendy Cyclone and Typhoon slides and then slide boomerang-style into the Supercell, a giant “bowl” waterslide before splashing out into the plunge pool below.
Splashaway Bay℠
The best, kid-friendly waterpark at sea, Splashaway Bay features colourful waterslides, water cannons, fountains, pools and whirlpools for tots to tweens (and their supervising parents). There are shallow wading pools for toddlers, deeper pools for older kids, and in the centre of it all, a giant drench bucket!
