The ship’s lights were dimmed especially to allow guests the best possible chance of seeing the meteor showers above the ship.

Explorer of the Seas was on route to Alaska on a seven-night cruise which departed Seattle. The low light levels at sea offered guests the perfect viewing conditions to stargaze and witness the incredible astrological phenomenon.
