Royal Caribbean International's Navigator of the Seas has been completely reimagined from bow to stern and is making her year-round home in Miami.

The ship underwent a $115 million renovation, receiving next-level features such as The Blaster, the longest aqua coaster at sea; Riptide, the industry's only head-first mat racer waterslide; a reimagined poolscape infused with Caribbean vibes; To Dry For, the first standalone blow-dry bar at sea; and elevated dining and nightlife.

The ship will sail five- and nine-night Caribbean itineraries from March 1, 2019, through May 2019. Navigator will then set a course for the Bahamas, sailing three-night weekend and four-night weekday cruises that include visits to the cruise line's highly anticipated private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, the unparalleled thrill and chill destination.

"We have really dialed up the adventure and Caribbean vibes in ways that will make Navigator of the Seas the ultimate getaway to take from Miami," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.

"Independence and Mariner of the Seas, the first two modernized ships in our Royal Amplified program, have quickly become standout hits, and Navigator builds on this momentum with a combination of new, exciting features and signature Royal Caribbean offerings that will surprise and delight guests cruising with us for the first time and those who have vacationed with us before."

Navigator of the Seas is the third ship to be reimagined as part of the Royal Amplified modernization program, an investment of more than $1 billion in the cruise line's fleet that Navigator of the Seas is the third ship to be reimagined as part of the Royal Amplified modernization program, an investment of more than $1 billion in the cruise line's award-winning fleet.
