Royal Caribbean International has marked its return to California after more than a decade with Navigator of the Seas setting sail from Los Angeles on Thursday, November 18.
The ship is now on a year-round season of a 3-night weekend to 4- and 5-night weekday cruises to Catalina Island, California, and the Mexican Riviera.
Navigator premieres the ultimate getaway that combines adventures ashore, in destinations like Ensenada and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and onboard – from the longest waterslide at sea to the industry’s first standalone blow-dry bar.
Guests who cruise on Navigator can enjoy a series of enhancements worth $115 million, introduced onboard the ship in 2019.
There’s a star-studded lineup of never-before-seen experiences and fan favourites, including a resort-style pool with a 3-level poolside bar, the longest aqua coaster at sea, “Riptide” – the industry’s only headfirst mat racer waterslide, the first blow-dry bar at sea, a tiki-chic bar and a sports bar & arcade.
Kids 11 years and under have their own dedicated venue at “Adventure Ocean” while the Royal Escape Room will challenge families, friends or fellow travellers to solve mind-bending puzzles before time runs out.
Also new to Navigator as part of its major makeover are Hooked Seafood, serving up fresh New England-inspired dishes like just-shucked oysters; Johnny Rockets Express; Starbucks and Jamie’s Italian, with a menu of rustic Italian recipes – including fresh pastas – from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.
Many returning favourites take the stage as well, including the FlowRider surf simulator, a rock-climbing wall, the Studio B ice-skating rink, Far East flavours at Izumi and a new mini golf course.
7-night sailings are also available aboard the Navigator, bringing beach-loving guests to locations like Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan, Mexico.
