Which are the 5 must-visit water parks on cruise ships?

Some of the best water parks on cruise ships which you cannot miss are as follows:

1. AquaDuck, Disney Dream, and Disney Fantasy

Most Disney ships have a water park, making them unique from others. Two of its ships, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, have one of the most famous cruise ship water parks, Aqua Duck. It is a 765-foot-long tube that winds up and down before ending in a lazy river, where two people can slide at a time.

This slide can go over and out of the cruise providing incredible sea views. During the nighttime, the AquaDuck is lit up by the crew member using multi-colored lights, giving a spectacular look.

2. AquaDunk, Disney Magic

Another cruise ship of the Disney line named Disney Magic has a water park named AquaDunk. It has a 212-foot translucent tube which is much more toward the edge than the earlier one. It starts with a 40-foot ascension from the top deck and then is a curve at a height of 20 feet. This curve feels like a floor falling after a long trap. It is considered one of the most exciting cruise ship water parks due to the presence of this slide, giving you a great fall from 3 floors.

3. Dr. Seuss Waterworks, Carnival Horizon

One of the most splashing water parks on cruises is the Dr. Seuss Waterworks on the Carnival Horizon. It is mainly famous for its two twisting water slides, which are almost 300 feet high, with one colored in red and white, whereas the other is colored in blue.

Families or couples with children mostly adore this cruise water park due to its huge splash area. Being on the top deck, it also provides great sea views from its edges. In addition, it has smaller slides for children and a big bucket pouring water on them at frequent intervals.
