Get ready for an unparalleled experience as Royal Caribbean’s stunning Icon of the Seas arrives at PortMiami, the perfect gateway for your next extraordinary cruise adventure. As the world’s largest Miami cruise ship sets sail on its inaugural voyage, excitement is at an all-time high! Imagine setting off on a seven-night journey encompassing the beautiful Eastern Caribbean and the pristine shores of Perfect Day at CocoCay, all starting with this majestic ship’s maiden voyage on Saturday, January 27.

Commencing from its new permanent Miami home, the Icon of the Seas offers week-long, roundtrip voyages, whisking guests away to idyllic Caribbean destinations. Explore the rich history of Basseterre in St. Kitts and the vibrant culture in St. Thomas of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Experience the lively streets of Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico, the pristine beaches of Philipsburg, St. Maarten, and the captivating coastline of Roatan in Honduras.

This monumental ship—spanning an astonishing 1,198 feet and accommodating up to 5,610 guests—docked with grandeur at Port Miami, establishing Miami as its operational hub. With Royal Caribbean International’s headquarters nearby, cruising from Miami with Icon is seamless, surrounded by the city’s vibrancy and attractions.

Step onboard to enjoy over 40 superb dining and drinking venues, including two lively dueling piano bars, breathtaking three-story townhouses perfect for family gatherings, and an impressive “Central Park” area, lush with over 33,000 diverse plants. Visitors also enjoy the shimmering waters of seven distinct pools, each staffed with dual lifeguards to ensure safety and fun.

The Icon of the Seas is more than just a massive Miami cruise ship; it’s a revolutionary masterpiece marking Royal Caribbean’s introduction of a new class—its first in nearly ten years. This marvel features 2,850 well-appointed staterooms across 18 guest decks, all serviced by a dedicated crew of 2,350 professionals committed to creating your ideal vacation on the sea.

The new class is defined by its unique focus on creating effortless navigability for guests paired with “unrivaled water experiences.” Imagine enjoying a pool with unobstructed ocean views or relaxing in your room with beds oriented for the perfect sea gaze. This spectacular design vision took root early, with plans underway as far back as 2018, culminating in careful execution by 2019 with interior designs and room configurations complete. Since the groundbreaking steel cutting in June 2021, progress has unfurled tirelessly, culminating in rigorous sea trials completed between June and November.
