THE SHIP

When it comes to amazing family vacations, Voyager of the Seas checks all the boxes. The ship offers all kinds of complimentary adventures for kids and adults — 

TAPS ON BOARD

We know that healing is found when surrounded by peers who understand. While on board, TAPS will have a variety of programs and activities available for you based on relationship or loss, and we'll gather as a group each evening for a TAPS family dinner. We'll also have a survivor sanctuary, we liken her to  “THE HELM.” It will serve as our home base where you can always connect with TAPS staff should you need any emotional support.

When we reach each port, you'll be able to explore the destinations. TAPS will also offer organized group shore excursions that will be announced closer to the cruise.
