2. The All New Park19 and The Lookout
If you are booking a family cruise, check out the all-new Park19. It will debut onboard Sun Princess when this Sphere Class vessel launches in February 2024.

Suppose you want something more physical. The Net allows guests to climb above deck 19 and take a challenging trek across unstable bridges, a z-shaped balance beam, and climb cargo nets.

Leaning tilt walls in Infinite Horizon, cantilevered over the side of the ship, allow guests who love heights to peer out from deck 19 and look down to deck nine and beyond.
