The onboard experience that fills the highlight reel

Cruise Ships

Surf at sea started as a bold idea. Two decades later, it's a defining feature of the world's most sought-after ships.

Where Families Choose to Set Sail

In the early 2000’s, Royal Caribbean International asked the question “What can we do to improve family bookings?” We all know that the key to family vacations is the hard to please teenager. In 2006, Freedom of The Seas was launched with the first onboard FlowRider Double. A dramatic increase in family bookings followed.

Fast forward to 2026. 20 years later and there are 25 FlowRiders on board 22 ships with more to come in progress. From Freedom class to OASIS class, Quantum class to the now iconic ICON class, RCI found their answer. And, we couldn’t be happier with their solution!

Introduce a New Sport to Your Passengers

There’s a reason first-timers turn into regulars. Flowboarding is a sport you want to get good at, and your ship is where that journey starts.

Drive F&B and Retail Revenues

The progression is addictive. The better passengers get, the more sessions they book, and the more they look forward to boarding your ship again next year.

Sell Private Sessions and Packages

Private bookings and onboard coaching turn your FlowRider into a dedicated revenue line that runs all day, every day at sea.

Engage the Teen and Win the Whole Family

Teenagers are the hardest travel critic in the room. Give them something they actually want to do and the whole family follows, books again, and tells everyone about it.

User-Generated Marketing

Every ride is content. Passengers film, post, and tag from the deck, putting your ship in front of audiences you never had to pay to reach.
