Ever dreamed of skydiving? Now, ever dreamed of skydiving on board a cruise ship? No, you don't have to read that again. This innovative feature, named RipCord by iFly, is among the plethora of stellar experiences you can enjoy on board what is billed as the world's smartest cruise ship - The Quantum of the Seas by Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Riding inside North Star, a jewel-shaped glass capsule, lucky guests can enjoy a panorama 300 feet above the ocean. Then there is Two70°, a multi-level great room with 270-degree panoramic sea views that changes its mood by day and night. SeaPlex, a sporting and entertainment venue, offers such unimaginable diversions as flying trapezes, a full-size basketball court, bumper cars and roller skating. There's even a floating DJ booth. There's an adults-only Solarium, a kids' aqua-park, indoor pools, a performance hall, a choice of restaurants and dining, and more.

Start salting away that retirement fund. Meanwhile, enjoy these stunning images and dream away.
