Creator's Key Takeaways

We enjoyed this cruise far more than our time on Discovery Princess, and Voyager completely exceeded our expectations.

Voyager of the Seas won't be back in Australia next season, so we're really glad we caught her while we could.

The ice skating show, Ice Odyssey, was impressive. On our short 4-night cruise, it ran four times. I watched it three times and was still entertained.

Windjammer really surprised us. Spacious, good variety, and very decent food.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid central pool areas if you want to avoid crowds with kids.
Visit the Viking Crown Lounge for spectacular views and happy hour cocktails.

YouTube Video Description

Welcome back to Travel Cruise Feast! In this full cruise ship tour and review of Voyager of the Seas, we reveal whether this classic Royal Caribbean ship is still worth booking in 2026. Originally launched in 1999 as the largest cruise ship in the world, Voyager of the Seas changed cruising forever with industry-first features like the Royal Promenade, an ice-skating rink at sea, and a rock-climbing wall. After a massive USD $97 million Royal Amplified refurbishment in 2019, the ship now offers waterslides, modernised public spaces, refreshed cabins, upgraded dining venues, and improved kids and teen areas—making her far more relevant than her age suggests. In this video, we take you deck by deck through Voyager of the Seas, starting on Deck 3 at the aft, featuring the grand three-level main dining room, Studio B ice rink, and Royal Theatre. After a disappointing cruise on Discovery Princess, we boarded Voyager with low expectations—especially when it came to food—but were genuinely impressed by both the main dining room and the Windjammer buffet. We also explore Voyager’s standout entertainment, bars, pools, and signature attractions, delivering a complete Royal Caribbean cruise review to help you decide if this iconic ship still offers great value today.
