North Star, Royal Caribbean
If you’re not afraid of heights, the North Star attraction on Royal Caribbean ships is a must-do! This attraction is similar to the famous London Eye, and takes guests in a glass-enclosed pod up, down, and over the side of the ship. It doesn’t go very quickly, but it does rise 300 feet above sea level, which is still quite the thrill. The panoramic views from the North Star are truly stunning and are the perfect photo opportunity to remember your trip.

The SeaWalk, Princess Cruises
The SeaWalk is exactly what it sounds like—you are essentially walking on the sea. It is a 60-foot long enclosed glass hallway sticking out over the side of the ship. The glass bottomed passageway over the ocean provides a thrilling experience unlike any other, and makes you feel as if you’re walking on water. The SeaWalk is available on the Royal Princess and Regal Princess.
