Exploring oceans in high definition!

Described by National Geographic as “high-quality, performance dive snorkelling equipment”, there’s simply no better way to see the psychedelic underwater worlds that Royal Caribbean ships cruise over. As well as loaning equipment, passengers will also get the chance to purchase their own sets, with a 10% Dive Shop and Shore Excursions Desk discount.

Passengers can choose to book their National Geographic Snorkeler tour using the pre-trip Cruise Planner tool, online booking system or on-board via the in-house agent.

A wonderful world of water

So where can passengers get submerged with top of the range Nat Geo kit?

• From CocoCay (Royal Caribbean’s secluded private island in the Bahamas) passengers can swim with tropical fish and identify species using a specially issued ID card. A guide is on-hand to offer a quick introduction to snorkelling lesson covering techniques, gear and reef conservation.

• After a scenic cruise through the historical Nassau Harbor, passengers plunge into Rainbow Reef, one of the most coveted dive destinations in the Caribbean. The marine sanctuary is brimming with life, with guides on-hand to help identify fish, sharks, turtles and more.

• Down Under, passengers can immerse themselves in the natural wonder that is the Great Barrier Reef. With gravity defying coral formations and a host of marine life, the reef is a dream for snorkelers and divers alike.

• With vibrant Caribbean cuisine, breathtaking views and the blazing sun shining overhead, it could be hard for passengers to free fall into the underwater world of Pinel Island. It’s well worth it though, as the turquoise waters of the French Cul de Sac are alive with coral and sea life.
