Icon of the Seas: The World’s Largest Cruise Ship

In January 2024, Royal Caribbean unveiled its most ambitious creation yet — Icon of the Seas, the largest cruise ship ever built. This floating city blends cutting-edge technology, luxurious amenities, and an unprecedented range of entertainment options, offering passengers a truly one-of-a-kind ocean voyage.

Imagine a city on the water where every corner is filled with wonder, comfort, and elegance. Icon of the Seas is more than just a ship — it’s an entire world designed to indulge even the most refined tastes. At 364 meters long and with room for up to 7,600 guests, it redefines what a cruise can be.

Icon of the Seas carries more than twice as many passengers as the legendary Titanic and weighs nearly five times more.

Dining Venues on Icon of the Seas

On this ship, dining isn’t just about refueling — it’s about discovery. With a food scene rivaling that of Michelin-starred restaurants (but without the snobbery), every meal is a celebration of flavors, freedom, and unforgettable moments.

Gourmets will find a true paradise onboard. From cozy cafés to fine dining establishments, every evening can turn into a global culinary adventure.

Included Restaurants
