Traditional cruising experience has changed over the past few years and water parks are now an essential part of a cruise ship.

Royal Caribbean’s 3,634- Passenger Freedom of the Seas is the first cruise ship with an enclosed water park and surfing simulator called the Flow Rider.

Gigantic Oasis of the Seas has two Flow Riders on board of it and in 2009 the Carnival created a huge impression when it has built four water sliders on the new Carnival Dream, its 303 foot slide being the longest one on the sea.

The Norwegian Epic put enters the scene of the ultimate cruise attraction with a slide having a big bowl allowing the users to spin around in.
Still starting with 2011 the Disney Dream will leave all the above behind with a new project involving a complete water riding theme park onboard in this famous cruise.
