Does Royal Caribbean have an adult section?

Discover the Solarium, a relaxing indoor-outdoor retreat just for our adult guests. Perfectly positioned at the front of every Royal Caribbean? ship, the crystal canopy area presents fantastic views and stays warm while you enjoy swimming pools, whirlpools and lounge area, as well as cascading lagoons on select ships.



Yes, Royal Caribbean ships feature a dedicated adult-only retreat known as the Solarium. This section is typically restricted to guests aged 16 and older, providing a much quieter and more relaxed atmosphere than the high-energy main pool decks. The Solarium usually features its own pool, whirlpools, and plenty of cushioned lounge chairs, often housed under a glass canopy that allows for climate-controlled sunbathing regardless of the weather. On many ships, such as the Oasis and Quantum classes, the Solarium also has its own complimentary bistro or café, allowing adults to enjoy a peaceful meal away from the buffet crowds. In addition to the Solarium, Royal Caribbean has expanded its adult offerings in 2026 with Hideaway Beach at their private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay. This is a gated, adults-only beachfront with its own DJ, heated pool, and private cabanas, available for an additional fee. While the cruise line is primarily family-focused, these dedicated spaces ensure that couples or solo travelers can find a sophisticated sanctuary amidst the family-friendly excitement.
