MS Adventure of the Seas is the third first-generation Voyager-class cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean International.[7]

She was built at Kværner Masa-Yards Turku New Shipyard, Finland and completed in 2001. From 2001, she mostly sailed in the Southern Caribbean and departed weekly from the port of San Juan, Puerto Rico. As of 2012, she is based in the Atlantic in the Summer and offers seven-day cruises from Malaga and in the winter she departs from San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 2013, her summer cruises will be based out of Southampton, England and offer Baltic, Mediterranean, and Northern Europe itineraries.[8]

In April 2014, Adventure of the Seas received "Royal Advantage" upgrades, including an outdoor movie screen, digital signage, ship-wide Wifi, new Concierge and Diamond lounges, and the changeover of the Portofino restaurant to the Giovanni's Table concept first introduced on the Oasis class cruise ships.[9]

Cruise destinations

Adventure of the Seas routinely cruises the Caribbean. During the first quarter of 2012, she cruised to St. Kitts with over 280,000 passengers in total, the most of any Royal Caribbean vessel.[10]

In 2013, Adventure of the Seas was moved to a new base in Southampton, Hampshire for her European season.[11] Royal Caribbean had confirmed that the ship will continue to be based in the UK for the 2013 season.[12]
