Navigator has undergone a $115 million makeover as part of the Royal Amplified programme of improvements to existing vessels.

New attractions on Navigator include the line’s first “aqua coaster” The Blaster, the Riptide head-first race waterslide, a hairdressing bar, redesigned pools and three-level bar The Lime and Coconut.

The 3,386-passenger ship will begin sailing from Miami on Friday (March 1) on a series of five- and nine-night Caribbean itineraries until May 2019.

Navigator will then offer three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas including trips to the line’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, said: “We have really dialled up the adventure and Caribbean vibes in ways that will make Navigator of the Seas the ultimate getaway to take from Miami.

“Independence and Mariner of the Seas, the first two modernised ships in our Royal Amplified programme, have quickly become standout hits, and Navigator builds on this momentum with a combination of new, exciting features and signature Royal Caribbean offerings.”

Royal Caribbean’s latest new ship, Spectrum of the Seas, has also been floated out of dry dock at Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany this week. Spectrum, which is being designed for the Chinese market, is due to be delivered in April.
