The Icon of the Seas is a brand-new class of cruise ship from Royal Caribbean. It's set to debut in January 2024 and is designed to be a next-level family vacation destination. It claims to blend the best of every vacation, from beach retreats to resort escapes and theme park adventures.

Here are some key features:

  • Size and Capacity: The Icon of the Seas is expected to be the largest cruise ship in the world by gross tonnage, surpassing Royal Caribbean's existing Oasis-class ships. It will accommodate approximately 5,610 guests and 2,350 crew.

  • Neighborhoods: The ship will feature multiple distinct "neighborhoods," each with a unique theme and experience. Examples include Thrill Island, Chill Island, and Surfside, designed specifically for young families.

  • AquaDome: A transformational space at the top of the ship that will feature a variety of entertainment, dining and bar experiences.

  • Water Park: It boasts the largest waterpark at sea, named "Category 6," with six record-breaking slides.

  • Accommodations: The ship will offer a wide range of stateroom options, including family suites designed to accommodate larger groups.

  • Sustainability: The ship is powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is a cleaner-burning fuel compared to traditional marine fuels.

  • Itinerary: The Icon of the Seas will sail 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries from Miami.
