Voyager-class cruise ship

Passenger and Ocean Liner Vessels

The Voyager class is a design of post-Panamax cruise ships owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International and built at the Kværner Masa-Yards Turku New Shipyard in Finland, a yard whose owners later became part of Aker Yards and then STX Europe. Five ships were built between 1998 and 2003: Voyager of the Seas, Explorer of the Seas and Adventure of the Seas make up the first generation, and Navigator of the Seas and Mariner of the Seas the slightly changed second generation. The project was called Eagle before launch. The class introduced the Royal Promenade, a large open street through the middle of the ship, and put a rock climbing wall on the funnel and an ice rink at sea. Power is diesel-electric, from six Wärtsilä 46 diesel engines feeding three Azipod thrusters.
