This is Royal Caribbean’s video about the technology behind the ice shows in Studio B, their signature ice rink. The entertainment team talks about what makes the venue different, from the projection on the ice to the lighting and sound that bring the shows to life.
Royal Caribbean Studio B Ice Show Technology
Royal Caribbean's Studio B ice shows go high tech, with projection on the ice, Broadway style lighting and sound, and skaters up close in the round.

Key Takeaways
- Studio B is theater in the round on ice, so the action happens at high speed and you’re very close to the skaters.
- Being that close gives the shows almost a participation feel.
- The team uses the latest technology, equipment and effects, with sound and lighting on the level of a Broadway or Las Vegas show.
- The ice itself works as a giant projection screen for huge, high resolution images.
- The projection system is a play on Vistarama from Two70 on the Quantum class ships.
- Sound sets the beat and tempo and builds the atmosphere that lighting can’t create on its own.
Good to Know
If you’re sailing on a Royal Caribbean ship with Studio B, make time for the ice show. The team says people walk out thinking it’s one of the best shows they’ve seen, and the up close, in the round setup is unlike most theaters you’ve been in.
This video came out in February 2018, so specific shows and tech may have changed since then. Entertainment is something Royal Caribbean prides itself on, and Studio B is one of the places they push it the furthest.
