Anthem of the Seas

Rising more than 300 feet above sea level, North Star is one of the ship's most talked-about features. This glass-enclosed observation capsule gently ascends above the ship, offering guests uninterrupted views out across the ocean and, depending on the itinerary, the ports being visited. It's a quieter, more contemplative way to take in the scenery between livelier moments onboard.

Ever wondered what it might feel like to skydive? RipCord by iFLY lets guests find out without ever leaving the ship, using a vertical wind tunnel to simulate freefall in complete safety. Trained instructors are on hand throughout, making this one of the more unexpected highlights for first-time flyers and thrill-seekers alike.

Spanning multiple activities under one roof, SeaPlex is Anthem of the Seas' answer to a rainy day at sea, though it's just as popular in the sunshine. Guests can try their hand at bumper cars, roller skating or a game of basketball, all within the largest indoor active space at sea, making it a firm favourite with younger cruisers and families.

As day turns to night, Two70 transforms from a relaxed lounge with panoramic ocean views into one of Anthem of the Seas' most impressive entertainment venues. Robotic screens, aerial performers and multimedia shows combine to create a genuinely different kind of evening entertainment, best experienced rather than described.

Guests looking to treat themselves during their Anthem of the Seas cruise will find plenty of speciality dining options to choose from. Jamie's Italian brings Tuscan-inspired pasta dishes to the table, while Wonderland offers a playful, imaginative menu built around unexpected flavour combinations. For sushi and Asian-inspired small plates, Izumi is well worth a visit.

For a more relaxed meal between excursions, Anthem of the Seas offers a range of casual dining venues included in the cruise fare. Windjammer serves an international buffet with ocean views, Café Promenade is open around the clock for pastries and light bites, and Solarium Bistro offers Mediterranean-inspired dishes for guests who want a quieter setting.

From cocktails to coffee, Anthem of the Seas has a bar or lounge to suit every mood. Bionic Bar puts a futuristic spin on cocktail-making with its robotic bartenders, while Schooner Bar offers a more traditional setting for a nightcap. For guests who prefer to sip their drink with a view, the bars at Two70 make the most of the ship's panoramic windows.

The Royal Loft Suite, complete with a baby grand piano and wraparound balcony, is the largest and most indulgent stateroom onboard.

Guests keen to test their balance can head to FlowRider, Anthem of the Seas' very own surf simulator. Whether you're an experienced boarder or trying it for the first time, this is one of the ship's most entertaining ways to cool off, with plenty of spectator seating for those who'd rather watch from the sidelines.

Tucked away from the busier pool deck, the Solarium offers an adults-only escape for guests wanting a quieter spot to relax. With its own pools, whirlpools and comfortable loungers sheltered beneath a glass canopy, it's the ideal place to unwind with a good book.

After a busy day exploring, Vitality Spa provides the perfect opportunity to relax and recharge. Guests can choose from a range of treatments, including massages, facials, and body wraps, or use the spa's salon for a hairstyle or manicure before dinner.
