Independence of the Seas is sailing out of Southampton again during 2012 & 2013 so there's never been a more exciting or convenient way to experience Europe & the Mediterranean.

Independence of the Seas, one of the most popular Royal Caribbean ships, is a vessel packed to the brim with spectacular features — a true masterpiece. She comes complete with a state of the art Flowrider — a real wave surfing simulator — plus a rock climbing wall, the Royal Promenade, an ice-skating rink and a boxing ring. She also boasts extensive Wi-Fi capabilities and connectivity for mobile phones as well as flat-screen TVs in every stateroom. What else could anyone possibly put on a cruise ship? You'll be truly amazed.

With summer cruises to the Mediterranean and winter cruises to the Canaries you can experience this incredible ship all year round.  

Update due May '13: Independence of the Seas will receive a new outdoor cinema screen, nursery and ship-wide Wi-Fi, as well as introducing Cupcake Cupboard and refreshing Vintages wine bar.

Cuisine and Dining on Independence of the Seas

The Independence of the Seas offers an incredible range of dining options, with a choice of menus that will leave you speechless. From the 24 hour snack buffets to the sophisticated à la carte restaurants, every taste will be catered for and then some. As with all Royal Caribbean ships, room service is of course, fully included.

Entertainment on Independence of the Seas

From the majestic 1350 seat theatre or Studio B — a hi-tech entertainment complex — to the intimate piano sounds of the Olive or Twist Jazz Club, there's entertainment on every scale. Also worth checking out is the traditional pub, the Dog and Badger and the private Karaoke booths down in the sports bar. From cold beers, to elegant cocktails, there's a lounge onboard this ship to suit your taste.

The aforementioned Studio B offers some fantastic ice shows, the theatre showcases a variety of Broadway-style productions and you can even find the occasional bit of cabaret onboard. If you fancy a flutter check out the ship's casino, or merely relax on deck and take in the Mediterranean sunshine. You can enjoy as much or as little entertainment as suits you mood while sailing onboard Independence of the Seas.

Spa & Fitness on Independence of the Seas

Being such an impressive vessel, the Independence of the Sea comes packed to the rafters with as many spa facilities as you could wish for. The only question is will you be able to fit all this rest and relaxation in? 

Recreation on Independence of the Seas

The Independence of the Seas is unprecedented in terms of the facilities she offers. Innovative but at the same time filled with traditional cruise ship benefits. There is a dedicated sports pool, adults only solarium, an enlarged outdoor rock climbing wall, indoor ice skating rink, miniature golf course, the FlowRider surfing simulator and a boxing ring.

Enjoy the boutique shopping in the Royal Promenade, escape to the piece a quiet of the library, or head out to the sports deck. Whatever your mood, you can rest assured there is always something to do onboard Independence of the Seas — of course, you can also sit back and do nothing at all.

Pre Cruise from Southampton

Why not make your Mediterranean or Canary Islands cruise even more convenient with an over night stay in the De Vere Grand Harbour Hotel. With a variety of long stay paring and transfer options from the train and coach stations available this is an ideal place to begin your cruise holiday.
