This incredible Go-Pro footage shows exactly what it’s like to ride the world’s longest water slide at sea, which twists and turns for more than 800 feet.
The amazing video was filmed on The Blaster, one of the brand new slides on board Royal Caribbean’s revamped Navigator of the Seas liner, which has had a $115million (£88million) makeover.
It shows how the attraction sees riders propelled in a two-person raft over hills and drops, in what the cruise company describes as a ‘unique seaborne thrill’.

And at one point, riders are pushed along a section that extends outwards over the side of the ship.
The record-breaking water slide is just one of the new features to be added to Navigator of the Seas, which was relaunched last month in Miami.
Another is the Blaster’s counterpart, Riptide, which plunges riders headfirst down the cruise industry’s very first mat racer slide, finishing with an exhilarating home stretch through a translucent tube offering breath-taking ocean views.
Navigator of the Seas will be the first in the Royal Caribbean fleet to visit ‘Perfect Day at CocoCay’, the first of the cruise line’s recently announced private island collection, opening in May 2019.

After a $200million investment, the private island in The Bahamas will feature Thrill Waterpark with 13 slides, such as Daredevil’s Peak – the tallest waterslide in North America; Oasis Lagoon, the Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool and Up, Up and Away, a helium balloon that floats up to 450 feet in the air for the highest vantage point in The Bahamas.
There is also Chill Island, where guests can relax on the beach and the action-packed South Beach with sports, paddle-boarding, glass-bottom kayaking and more.
Navigator of the Seas is currently sailing three-night weekend and four-night weekday cruises from Miami to the Bahamas.
Next year, it will start sailings around the western and southern Caribbean.
Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International, said: ‘Each Royal Caribbean ship brings a new adventure uniquely designed to deliver on our guests’ preferences from A to Z.
‘Every detail matters and we’ve mapped out an unmatched combination of innovative features and experiences for this top-to-bottom transformation of Navigator of the Seas.’
