These attractions prove that cruises are definitely not floating "retirement homes"
Gone are the days when cruises were just holidays on a ship where passengers simply gambled, ate and suntanned their vacation away. Now, cruiseliners are upping the ante with interesting activities you wouldn’t expect to find on a vessel.
We take a look at six of such offerings, from the irresistibly fun to the downright thrilling.

7. A bar made of ice
It’s cold in here – literally. Norwegian Cruise Line’s Breakaway, Getaway and Epic house the Svedka/Inniskillin ice bar; an Arctic watering hole made entirely of ice, furnishings and sculptures included. The ice is illuminated by coloured lights, so you almost feel like you’re basking in the Aurora Borealis.
If you’re not a polar bear and can’t imagine sticking it out here, don’t worry: The bars provide a rack of hooded coats and gloves. Of course, you’ll have your tipple or poison to warm you right up too.
