Swim-up bars are iconic in Caribbean vacations, and Royal Caribbean is setting the standard for the cruise industry. Guests want to make the most of their pool time while on vacation, and a swim-up bar perfectly blends refreshing water with crafted cocktails, creating the ultimate Caribbean vibe.
Introducing Swim & Tonic, the largest swim-up bar at sea and a first for the Royal Caribbean fleet. This is the go-to spot for ice-cold drinks and sun-kissed beats, offering the coolest way to sip and socialize. Guests can grab a seat at the bar or unwind on one of the in-water loungers, enjoying just a splash of the action. Overflowing with island vibes, Swim & Tonic ensures that max refreshment is never more than a wade away.
The design at Swim & Tonic radiates a cheeky, bold personality, bringing the swim-up bar to life. Programming sets the energy, with upbeat music building a lively ambiance in the morning, progressing toward an afternoon energy boost as a live DJ takes the stage, engaging the crowd with vibrant mixes of top hits, making Swim & Tonic the pulse of the poolside.
