Cruise Ships With Waterslides: A Ship-by-Ship Guide
Compare active cruise ships with full-size waterslides adults can ride, from traditional twisting tube slides to raft rides and water coasters. Children-only slides, splash pads, surf simulators, and dry slides are excluded.
Which Cruise Ships Have Waterslides for Adults?
The GetCruiseInfo ship database currently identifies 0 active cruise ships with at least one verified full-size waterslide that adults can ride. The list includes conventional body slides, enclosed tube slides, mat racers, raft slides, and water coasters. It focuses on active ocean ships marketed by major international cruise lines.
A ship does not need a complete waterpark to qualify. It must, however, have a genuine full-size water attraction suitable for adult riders—not merely a toddler slide or a small feature inside a children's splash area.

Waterslide Does Not Always Mean Waterpark
Some ships have one traditional twisting slide beside the main pool. Others have a multilevel waterpark with several slides aimed at different thrill levels. Royal Caribbean's Icon Class, for example, offers a dramatically different waterslide experience from a ship with one older spiral body slide.
If waterslides are a major reason for choosing your cruise, compare the attraction itself rather than stopping at a simple yes-or-no amenity listing. Check the number of slides, rider requirements, whether tubes or mats are used, and whether the ship offers alternatives for less adventurous family members.
If you are choosing between two ships, use the Cruise Ship Comparison Tool to compare waterslide availability alongside ship size, cabins, pools, and other onboard features.
Important Rider Restrictions
Adults being allowed to ride does not mean every adult will qualify. Slides can have minimum and maximum height or weight rules. Raft slides may also require a particular number or combination of riders. Cruise lines can close attractions because of wind, weather, maintenance, or sea conditions, so no individual slide should be treated as guaranteed on every sailing.
