Dress Code

- Casual: You’re on vacation – relax! Jeans, polos, sundresses and blouses are all the right amount of laid back. Please keep swimwear to the Pool Deck. Shorts are welcomed for breakfast and lunch.

Smoking Policy
For the comfort and enjoyment of our guests, our ships are designated as non-smoking; however, we recognise that some of our guests do smoke. Therefore, to provide an onboard environment that also satisfies smokers, we have designated certain areas of the ship as smoking areas.

Casino Royale allows smoking and has a designated area for non-smoking guests. There will be visible signage indicating the non-smoking area in the casino. All cruises departing from China and Hong Kong will not have a non-smoking area in the casino. Smoking is not permitted in the casino for any ships departing from Australia and the United Kingdom.
Onboard all interior public spaces are smoke free*. Smoking is not permitted in any dining venue, theatre, bar, lounge, hallway, elevator, and jogging track.
Smoking is not permitted inside any stateroom and any stateroom balcony. This applies to all stateroom categories onboard. If a guest is in violation of this stateroom policy, a cleaning fee of $250 USD will be applied to their SeaPass® account and may be subject to further action pursuant to the "Consequences Section" of the Guest Conduct Policy.
Cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco must be properly disposed of and never thrown overboard. Cigar and pipe tobacco is limited to designated outdoor areas and Cigar Bars**. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase, possess or use tobacco onboard.

SO MUCH MORE TO EXPLORE
Your next holiday is about to get a whole lot wilder. Welcome onboard Explorer of the Seas® – a ship that offers as many thrills and ways to chill as the destinations it takes you to. Like laid-back lounging in the adults-only Solarium. Tee-offs with stunning sea views on the deckside Mini Golf green. Figure eights and double axels on the ice skating rink. And hang ten sessions on the fan-favourite FlowRider®.
SURF'S UP
Grab a board and get ready to ride – the 412-metre-long FlowRider® surf simulator is the ultimate hang-ten hangout. Carve the waves upright like a pro surfer or boogie-board on your stomach as 114,000 litres of rushing water keep you afloat. You can also cheer on your friends from the sidelines and get splashed after every wipeout.
ROCK THE RINK
After a day spent chasing new discoveries and soaking up the sun on the pool deck, lace up your skates and take your adventure to the chill zone at the onboard ice skating rink. Whether you’re a newbie or a skilled skater, all thrill-seekers are welcome on the ice.
JOIN THE POOL PARTY
Kick back and soak up the island vibes on the pool deck. Families will have a blast in the main pool, home to belly-flop competitions, movies under the stars and dance parties with a DJ. If you’re looking for some grown-up relaxation, head to the adults-only Solarium where it’s all about endless sea views and serenity.
KEEP ADVENTURE GOING AFTER HOURS
There’s no curfew for thrills onboard Explorer of the Seas®. Once the sun sets, start the night properly with classic cocktails at R Bar, pints and live performances at Crown & Kettle Pub, singalongs at Schooner Bar and salsa steps on the dance floor at Boleros.
VINTAGE VIBES & CLASSIC COCKTAILS
At R Bar, classic cocktails come with a healthy dose of nostalgia. Inspired by the swanky drinking dens of the ‘50s and ‘60s, this sleek and sophisticated lounge is the perfect spot to unwind with an old fashioned or a dry gin martini.
JOIN THE PUB
You’ll feel like you’ve been whisked away to London once you step inside the Crown & Kettle. Choose a brew from an impressive list that ranges from pilsners to porters, or indulge in your favourite spirit or UK-themed cocktail. Linger a while longer to catch one of the musicians who pop in regularly to perform.
BET ON BIG ACTION
There's nothing to stir your sense of excitement like the sound of cards being shuffled, chips being stacked and poker machines paying out. Consider the Casino Royale℠ to be your little slice of Vegas at sea – with thousands of square feet of lights, action, slots and tables.
RESTRICTIONS
18+
Located in the heart of the ship; 2 football pitches long and 4 decks high – the Royal Promenade is lined with boutiques, as well as 24-hour casual dining and drinking options.
Standing five decks high (from orchestra pit to domed ceiling), the impressive Palace Theatre showcases contemporary musical stage productions, West End style shows and stand up comedians.
HYDRATE AT THE POOLSIDE BAR
You don’t have to stray too far from your comfy poolside lounger to enjoy a cool and creamy piña colada, a tropical Mai Tai, a glass of bubbly, or your favourite ice cold brew — just pull up a chair at the Pool Bar.
HOW TO PURCHASE
Beverage Package or A La Carte
AGE RESTRICTION
21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
MENU HIGHLIGHTS
Whether your go-to spirit is vodka, gin, tequila, whiskey or rum, you’ll find something delicious to sip on at the Pool Bar. Tequila lovers should definitely try the Royal Citrus Ritatini, made with Avion Silver, Cointreau and fresh lime, or the Smokey Rita — a twist on the classic marg that spotlights Del Maguey Vida Blanco mezcal, triple sec, orange juice and margarita mix. If you’re more into whiskey or bourbon, opt for a classic Manhattan or a Rob Roy, both blended with just the right amount of sweet vermouth. And if you’re in the mood for something ginny, try the blood orange negroni — elevated with a small splash of blood orange, it’ll transport you straight to the storied bars of Florence, where this classic aperitif was born.
PRO TIP
If you don’t want to leave your lounger, an attendant can bring your order to you from the bar.
LIVE MUSIC & MASTERFUL MIXING
Wrap up your night at Schooner Bar, where perfectly mixed cocktails and live entertainment come together in a warm-lit nautical-themed lounge. Cozy up in a seat under the mast, by the portholes, or right by the gleaming grand piano. The sing-along's about to being.
HOW TO PURCHASE
Beverage Package or A La Carte
AGE RESTRICTION
21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
MENU HIGHLIGHTS
If you love a great old fashioned, you’ll find five versions of it on the menu at Schooner Bar, including a tropical twist that blends muddled cherries and pineapple with orange bitters and Malibu Coconut rum, and an innovative New Fashioned that brings in pink grapefruit, fresh raspberries, and a little bit of Southern Comfort. You can also dial up your night with a glamorous champagne cocktail, topped with Domaine Chandon and sweetened with an Angostura-doused sugar cube. Or sip your way across the Caribbean with a Zacapa rum-spiked daiquiri, shaken hard and double-strained, or a classic Papa Doble, prepared with Bacardi Superior rum, lychee and grapefruit juice. If you’re a fan of the Tom Collins, you’ll find that, too — plus four additional versions that each spotlight a different spirit.
PRO TIP
Up for something different? Let the bartender know what your favorite spirit is, and ask them to whip you up a surprise.
Passengers can grab a beer and catch all the big matches in the ship's Sports Bar. It's just like your favourite sports bar at home - only it's at sea!
SAVOUR THE SIPS & THE SIGHTS
Our fleet’s signature architectural wonder, the Viking Crown Lounge® is the ultimate spot to soak up panoramic views while you sip your favourite cocktails. Catch the sunset through its floor-to-ceiling windows, then linger as the space comes alive with strobe lights, live music, and plenty of action on the dance floor.
Original art is displayed in the onboard art gallery as well as throughout the ship. To purchase something for your own collection, visit an onboard art auction.
SHAKING UP THE CLASSICS
Swanky, sophisticated, and suffused with retro style, R Bar serves up classic cocktails garnished with vintage vibes. Whether your drink of choice is a dry gin martini, an expertly mixed old fashioned, or the perfect gin and tonic, you’ll find plenty to savour here.
AGE RESTRICTION
21+ on sailings from North America, 18+ on sailings from South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
MENU HIGHLIGHTS
The vintage décor at R Bar creates the perfect atmosphere to order a classic old fashioned or gimlet, but you should definitely also try one of the signature cocktails on the menu. Those who prefer their drinks on the fruity side will love the Purple Haze, made with Bacardi 8 rum, blue curacao and Pernod, and shaken with pineapple juice, passion fruit puree and a splash of grenadine. For a cocktail that doubles as dessert, opt for the aptly-named Red Velvet Cake, a decadent infusion of limoncello, dark chocolate liqueur, crème de cacao white and strawberry puree. If you’re craving something smooth, but strong, there’s the Green Goddess. It’s a potent blend of Belvedere vodka, Hennessy, blue curacao and mango puree, topped off with a twist of lemon. And for fans of fizzy drinks, it doesn’t get better than the Let’s Get Fizzical, a refreshingly light combination of passion fruit puree, apple juice and St-Germain elderflower liqueur topped with prosecco.
PRO TIP
The bartenders here are pros. Let them surprise you with something that’s not on the menu.

MENU HIGHLIGHTS
The British Pimm’s Cup, the Aperol Spritz, and the Coca-Cola and Kahlua-infused Hennessy Black Bull are staples at Solarium Bar. But if you prefer to unwind with something a little different, opt for one of the premium mixed drinks on the menu. The Kentucky Burgundy is a favourite among bourbon lovers. Made with Maker’s Mark, crème de cassis, fresh lime and strawberry mix, it strikes the perfect balance between spirit-forward, sweet and citrusy. Or keep things simple with an iconic Rob Roy, which spotlights Dewar’s White shaken with sweet vermouth. And if you like your drinks sweet and sour, go for the Washington Apple, a tart blend of Crown Royal, sour apple liqueur, and cranberry juice.

The English Pub is best known for its wide and diverse selection of beers, but you can also order up a mean cocktail here. If you want something smooth yet strong, go for the James Bond Martini. It’s a powerhouse triad of Belvedere vodka, Beefeater gin, and Lillet Blanc. If you love bourbon, try the Buffalo Manhattan, which swaps out whiskey for Buffalo Trace with sweet vermouth and a splash of Angostura bitters. And if you’re having trouble deciding between spirits, order the Boston Iced Tea Party, made with Tanqueray gin, Bacardi Superior rum, Absolut vodka, triple sec, and sweet and sour mix. Want to try something really different? Ask for a beertini or cockt-ale —mixed drinks infused with brews to create one-of-a-kind libations you can savour slowly..
