Icon of the Seas

Royal Caribbean’s family vacation concept reaches its most ambitious form on Icon of the Seas, the first Icon Class ship and one of the largest cruise ships in the world. Carrying approximately 5,610 guests at double occupancy, the ship was designed around neighborhoods, water attractions, family zones, adult spaces, entertainment, and dining on a scale that goes beyond the Oasis Class format. Icon of the Seas is especially focused on Caribbean vacations, where guests can combine a massive onboard experience with beach days, Perfect Day at CocoCay, and warm-weather itineraries.

The ship’s layout is built around major neighborhoods such as Thrill Island, Surfside, Chill Island, Central Park, Royal Promenade, AquaDome, The Hideaway, and Suite Neighborhood. Category 6 waterpark, Crown’s Edge, FlowRider, pools, waterslides, AquaDome shows, live music, family dining, adult-focused spaces, and extensive bars and restaurants make the ship especially strong for families and multigenerational groups. Dining may include Surfside Eatery, Pier 7, Izumi, Chops Grille, Empire Supper Club-style dining, and multiple casual Royal Promenade venues. Icon of the Seas is best for travelers who want Royal Caribbean at its biggest, boldest, and most family-focused.
