ICON OF THE SEAS is the world’s largest cruise ship, a true marvel of modern engineering and design. Built in Turku, Finland, by Meyer Turku Shipyard and launched in 2023, this ship redefines what it means to set sail.

With space for up to 7,600 passengers and 2,350 crew members, the ship can host nearly 10,000 people at once, making her not only the largest cruise ship ever built, but also one of the tallest ships afloat. At the heart of the ship’s innovation is her advanced powerplant: six multi-fuel Wärtsilä engines designed to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG). This makes the Icon of the Seas not just massive, but also one of the most eco-conscious cruise ships of its kind.
