About Navigator of the Seas
Navigator of the Seas launched in 2002 as a Voyager-class ship and received a $115 million Royal Amplification in 2019. At 139,999 gross tons, the modernized Navigator features new waterslides, dining venues, and entertainment spaces that rival newer ships.
The amplification introduced Perfect Storm waterslides, Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade, and expanded the pool deck. New dining options include the casual Hooked seafood venue and updated specialty restaurants. The ship maintains classic features like the Royal Promenade and ice skating rink.
Navigator of the Seas is perfect for West Coast cruisers seeking a fully-updated experience. Based in Los Angeles, the ship offers 3, 4, and 5-night cruises to Catalina Island, Ensenada, and Cabo San Lucas.

Every Number Matched
The base fare, taxes, and onboard credit lined up perfectly. No fine print, no surprises. That's why I trusted them.
James
Switching From Costco Paid Off
We almost booked with Costco for Royal Caribbean. They offered a small rebate card, but Zipsea added $400 in OBC...
Drew
Incredible perks with Zipsea!
..My party and I can actually utilize the credit for our excursions. What a seamless experience.
Jamie
The Real Deal!
Great OBC offers and comparable price to other sites. Had no issues with the booking or getting the OBC credited to my account. Customer service has been very responsive to my questions and needs.
Rebecca
Exemplary Service
Zipsea was able to give me onboard credit that Celebrity or other agents couldn't match. When the price dropped, I texted Mario and within 5 minutes he repriced my booking and saved me almost $1000.

How does Zipsea give me more onboard credit than others?

No. You pay the same published fare you'd see on the cruise line's website—except we give you back the maximum onboard credit on top.
How much onboard credit will I actually get?
It depends on your fare and the cruise line's rules. As a ballpark, shorter cruises usually allow $50–$100 and longer cruises $150–$500+. When you search a sailing, we show you the exact amount.
