Royal Caribbean International has revealed new details of its next Icon-class ship, Star of the Seas, which is due to enter service next summer.
The 5,610-passenger Star of the Seas will be the sister ship to Icon of the Seas, the biggest ship afloat, with 20 decks, which launched this year.
Star of the Seas will launch in August 2025, offering seven-night cruises from Port Canaveral, Florida.
It will feature eight neighbourhoods, including five that are only on the Icon-class ships.
They include Thrill Island, which was the first waterpark at sea when it was introduced on Icon of the Seas, with waterslides and Crown’s Edge, the part skywalk and thrill ride 154 feet above the ocean; the three-deck Chill Island, with four of the ship’s seven pools, including swim-up bar Swim & Tonic and Royal Bay, the largest pool at sea.
Surfside is the neighbourhood designed for young families; AquaDome is a ‘tranquil oasis by day and vibrant hot spot at night’ with shows in the AquaTheater; and the Hideaway is the adult-only area, with suspended infinity pool.
It will also feature the Royal Promenade with floor-to-ceiling ocean views; the Pearl, the world’s largest kinetic art sculpture; more than 15 restaurants, bars and lounges – including a new eatery, the 1930s Chicago-inspired Lincoln Park Supper Club; the open-air Central Park lined with more than 30,500 real plants plus the exclusive Suite Neighbourhood.
President and CEO Michael Bayley said: “Star of the Seas is the second bold act of this exciting, new era of vacations first introduced with Icon of the Seas, and it’s putting the world’s best vacation on the map at yet another top travel destination.”
