Royal Caribbean's Icon Class has just set sail, marking a new record in cruising luxury. Leading the charge is the Icon of the Seas, the first of its kind, introducing a level of innovation that redefines the cruise experience.
We are OBSESSED with this amazing new launch, so let's find out about the specifics of this extraordinary class, explore its flagship vessel, and understand how it stands out within the esteemed Royal Caribbean fleet.
In Unexplored Waters
The pioneer of the Icon Class, Icon of the Seas is not just a ship, it's a revolution from Royal Caribbean.
Announced in 2016 and materialized in 2024, it claims the title of world's largest cruise ship, promoting the advent of a series that promises at least three iconic vessels.
ALL IN ONE?
Breaking away from the tradition of sheer size, the Icon Class will embody a fusion of innovation, offering the best elements of a beach retreat, resort hotel, and even a theme park.
Beyond dimensions, it focuses on delivering an exceptional onboard experience for families, a total dream because having a theme park and a beach resort while you are on a ship in in the middle of the ocean sounds like something completely crazy!
Outclassing the Oasis
Surpassing even the revered Oasis Class, Icon of the Seas takes the crown as the largest ship globally. Initially projected to be smaller than the Oasis Class, the Icon Class shifted gears, growing in size and securing its place as the world's largest cruise vessel!
Defining Icon Class: The Epitome of Vacationing
Royal Caribbean defines the Icon Class as 'the best of every vacation.' If we think about its predecessors, there’s a big difference, where size was paramount, this class focuses on a holistic approach, combining the allure of diverse vacation experiences.
Iconic Features
1. Next Level Accommodations
From the three-story Ultimate Family Townhouse to the privacy-enhancing Inside Plus category, the Icon Class ensures a range of enhanced living spaces.
2. Adult-Focused Amenities
While family-friendly, the ship caters to adults with unique features, including the first frozen cocktail bar at sea and a suspended infinity pool at the Hideaway.
3. Thrilling Attractions
The Icon Class boasts innovative water slides, the largest ice skating rink in the Royal Caribbean fleet, and the groundbreaking Crown's Edge – a skywalk, ropes course, and thrill ride combo.
