He has already arrived in Miami
Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, arrived at the Port of Miami for the first time last week. His arrival was celebrated with fireworks on fireboats, aircraft flyovers, and a celebration at the Perez Art Museum.
A huge ship is preparing to take vacationers on their first 7-day cruise in the Caribbean, which begins on January 27. The Icon of the Seas has 20 decks and a length of 365 m, which allowed it to take the crown from the previous largest ship in the world, Wonder of the Seas (362 m).
The ship is divided into eight districts, each of which is a destination in itself, filled with unique experiences, entertainment and delicious food and drink. This is the first ship in the world to use liquefied natural gas as fuel. Icon of the Seas is equipped with 2,805 cabins, which accommodate a total of 5,610 people in double occupancy. The crew is 2350 people. The maximum number of people on board can reach 9950 people (if you accommodate more than 2 people in a cabin, which is acceptable). The ship has numerous shops and a Jacuzzi, as well as 40 restaurants, a water park and even a concert hall with fountains.
The ship is equipped with 7 swimming pools and 6 water slides. Icon of the Seas also boasts the tallest waterfall, tallest water slide, largest water park, and the first suspended infinity pool on a seagoing ship.
Two more ships are expected to join the Royal Caribbean fleet — one in 2025 called Star of the Seas, which will set sail from Port Canaveral, and the other — in 2026.
Ticket prices start from $1723.
