It also boasts activities such as a surf simulator, rock climbing wall, bumper cars, sports court, outdoor movie screen, music hall, theatre and casino.

The shop boasts all manner of new technologies.

Passengers wanting a drink need only punch their beverage of choice into an iPad and a mechanical arm will put the ingredients together, mix it, pour it and serve it all in a matter of seconds.

Interactive maps stop passengers becoming lost aboard the 347m long ship and an arcade keeps the young and young-at-heart occupied for hours.

The ship also has two unique drawcards, the North Star, a capsule that lifts passengers 90m above sea level to enjoy a panoramic view, and the RipCord, a simulated skydiving experience.
