Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been cruising for over a decade, and when Royal Caribbean announced they were building the world's largest cruise ship, I knew I had to experience Icon of the Seas firsthand.

The ultimate family townhouse is a three-story marvel that can sleep up to eight guests, complete with its own slide connecting the upper and lower levels.

The service throughout the ship consistently exceeded my expectations.

Icon of the Seas represents the future of cruising, combining massive scale with intimate experiences, cuttingedge technology with classic hospitality, and endless entertainment options with peaceful retreat spaces.
