During the day, guests can board the highest observation deck of a cruise ship that has won the Guinness World Record. At a height of nearly 90 meters from sea level, they can overlook the ship's hull, admire the magnificent scenery of the sea, sky, and destination. They can also surf, parachute, rock climb on the deck, or engage in activities such as bumper cars, basketball, table tennis, ice skating, fencing, archery, esports, etc. at the largest indoor multi-functional sports venue at sea. In the evening, multiple music and dance shows took turns, integrating high-tech and a strong professional performance lineup, immersively performing the three major shows of "Silk Road", "Dance of the Past and Present", and "Spectral Fantasy". The Royal Avenue on the Ocean Spectrum is the largest duty-free shopping street on the sea, with the latest styles of various trendy brands such as watches, jewelry, bags, cosmetics, etc. The Royal Mansion, known as the "boat in the boat", is a VIP leisure and dining venue designed specifically for suite guests.
