Best Things to Do on Ovation of the Seas
Let's be real, with a giant ship to explore, you are definitely never gonna get bored! From the iconic FlowRider and North Star to the smattering of onboard dining options, and even night time entertainment, there's so many things to see and do. Ready to find out? Let's go!
1. FlowRider Surf Simulator
Will you be carving like a pro or getting wiped out spectacularly? (We’re definitely in the second camp.) Either way, taking on the FlowRider® Surf Simulator is a must — it’s one of the most thrilling experiences onboard.
Grab a board, try to stay upright, and see if you can glide left or right without getting swept off by the rushing waves. And if you want to level up, private or group lessons are available at an additional cost for more personalised coaching.
Price: Free
Note: Swimwear required. For ladies, it is recommended to have a tshirt on
2. RipCord by iFLY Skydiving Simulator
For a heart-pounding experience at sea, don’t miss the RipCord® by iFLY skydiving simulator, a thrilling way to experience the sensation of free fall without ever stepping out of a plane. Before rushing head first into the wind tunnel though, you first need to sit through a safety video and briefing by your flight instructor before getting suited up and heading out.
You will be fitted with earplugs, goggles and a helmet as well as a skydiving suit and then get to have your one minute of fame in the wind tunnel! Don’t be afraid because your instructor will be with you the whole time, giving you tips and guiding you through - an unforgettable activity and a must-try for thrill seekers.
Price: Additional fees apply
Note: Socks and shoes are a must. Ladies, do remember to bring along a hair tie too~
3. North Star

Can’t get enough of the sea view? Savour scenic, panoramic views from over 100 metres above sea level and enjoy a bird’s eye view at North Star, a viewing observation capsule. It’s also the winner of the Guinness World Record for tallest viewing deck on a cruise ship!
#KlookTip: Book a sunset slot if you can - ‘nuff said
Price: Additional fees apply
4. SeaPlex Indoor Sports Complex

The largest indoor active space at sea is also the most revolutionary. The SeaPlex is Royal Caribbean’s multi-purpose indoor sports complex, offering everything from table tennis and basketball to one of the ship’s biggest crowd-pleasers — bumper cars.
You get 4 minutes per session on the bumper cars, so don’t waste time swerving and avoiding clashing straight on into a stranger - just go for it! Just tell them no hard feelings 😛

Other activities at the SeaPlex include XBox corner (say what?), sports and games like basketball, volleyball, rollerskating, table tennis, and more!
Price: Some activities have extra charges
5. Entertainment and Live Performances

6. Solarium
Adult-only Solarium is god-sent (especially for exhausted parents in need of some alone time).
