About Icon of the Seas

Launched in January 2024, Icon of the Seas is the largest cruise ship ever built, weighing in at 250,800 gross tons and carrying up to 7,600 guests. Divided into eight distinct neighbourhoods — AquaDome, Central Park, Chill Island, Royal Promenade, Surfside, Suite Neighbourhood, The Hideaway, and Thrill Island — Icon is less a ship and more a floating destination. Six record-breaking waterslides, the first swim-up bar at sea, 40 restaurants and bars, and a 1,500-seat theatre make this the most ambitious cruise ship ever conceived.
