FAMILY AVENTURA

The FAMILY AVENTURA district is dedicated to families with kids. It offers a plethora of fun activities and attractions designed to create lasting memories.

Anchored by The Harbour (an outdoor park with a high ropes course) here families can enjoy quality time together amidst thrilling adventures and age-appropriate facilities.

The Family Aventura district also houses the Cliffhanger Swing - an innovative over-water swing ride positioned atop the district (starboard-aft on deck 20). The facility (introduced on World America) features 4 seats (two 2-seat swings) initially positioned close to the deck. The metal structure's powered arms then elevate the swings out over the ship's edge. Then riders are propelled back and forth, soaring 50 m/164 ft above the ocean's surface.

 

The unique Cliffhanger Swing is an attraction designed for thrill-seekers and offers a dynamic view of the surrounding seascape, providing an unforgettable sensation of wind and freedom.
