Explorer of the Seas is a Royal Caribbean Voyager-class ship built in 2000, the #21 ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet by size, with 14 passenger decks and a 2023 technical dry dock that brought hull painting, mechanical overhauls and cosmetic touch-ups. On deck 3, Studio B stages shows on a retractable floor that opens to reveal ice, alongside the Center Ice Rink, while The Palace Theater hosts the big productions. Up on deck 13 aft, the Flowrider surf simulator shares space with the Rock Climbing Wall and the Explorer Dunes mini-golf course.
