North Star is a glass-enclosed pod that rises more than 300 feet above sea level. Instead of cityscapes, the North Star will offer those thrilled by heights a 15-minute, aerial perspective of unobstructed sunrises, sunsets, ports of call and the boundless ocean itself. Guests can wait their turn for a complimentary ride at any point during their cruise vacations or for special occasions (think proposals, wedding ceremonies or special family experiences), premium packages can be purchased and reserved in advance
Ripcord by IFly
Might sound crazy, but aboard Quantum of the Seas, the next cruise ship by Royal Caribbean, that is a possibility. One of their newest attractions, RipCord by iFly, uses wind tunnel technology in a glass flight chamber to create a realistic skydiving experience that allows even those with no previous training to feel the adrenaline rush of free flight. It’s a first for Royal and the entire cruising industry.
