Jaw Drop @ The Spiral – A striking architectural masterpiece and one of the longest dry slides at sea. It takes riders through the jaws of a shark and spiralling down 11-decks through the heart of the World Promenade. The stainless-steel dry slide spirals dramatically through dark and light segments offering sea glimpses out the back of the ship in a unique, adrenaline-pumping experience.

Rock-Climbing Wall – Kids can enjoy climbing the vibrant rock wall as they attempt to navigate different handholds and footholds to see how far they can get.

High Trail Ropes Course – The exhilarating two-level ropes course spans 577sqm and will be enriched with two Sky Rails similar to a zipline. Guests get the chance to get their adrenaline pumping and test their balance while enjoying sea views from new heights.
