Zip lines are an increasingly popular activity on cruise ships, especially on the larger, more modern ships. It is an adventure activity that allows passengers to glide through the air over the deck of the ship using a harness and rope.
Most zip lines on cruise ships are designed to be used by only one person at a time and range in length from a few meters to over 200 meters. Some zip lines are located at the top of the ship, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and surrounding landscape.
Zip lines on cruises are usually free on most cruise lines, although on some cruises they may have an additional cost of up to 15 euros/dollars.
Before being able to use the zip line, passengers must undergo a brief training and put on safety equipment, which includes a harness and helmet. Participants must follow the instructions of the boat staff to ensure that the activity is carried out safely.
Zip lines are an exciting way to enjoy an adventurous activity while on a cruise. They are often a popular addition to shore excursions and are offered in some ports of call as a stand-alone activity.
It is important to note that zip lines may not be suitable for all ages and fitness levels. If you have any concerns, check with the ship's staff before participating in the activity.
