THE ICON OF ICON OF THE SEAS: LIONEL MESSI NAMED OFFICIAL ICON FOR ROYAL CARIBBEAN’S NEW VACATION
An iconic kickoff will mark the start of a new era of vacations when Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas debuts January 2024. The world’s largest cruise line has revealed sports icon Lionel Messi is the official Icon of Icon of the Seas. As the Icon, the most decorated fútbol player in history will welcome the new ship at an exclusive naming celebration in Miami.
Widely regarded as the greatest of all time, Messi has and continues to set a long list of records throughout his career that includes winning the prestigious Ballon d’Or award eight times and TIME’s 2023 Athlete of the Year. Further, he ushered in a new era of fútbol in the U.S. by joining Royal Caribbean partner and new Leagues Cup champion Inter Miami CF.
In its own right, Icon has also marked record-breaking moments. With six record-setting waterslides, seven pools, the first neighborhood for young families, more than 40 ways to dine, and drink and entertain, Icon is where every type of adventurer can make memories.
“I’m thrilled and honored to join the Royal Caribbean family to celebrate the arrival of the game-changing Icon of the Seas,” said Lionel Messi, Royal Caribbean International’s Icon of Icon. “Icon is beyond anything else that’s out there for family vacations, with incredible never-before-seen features, all designed for making memories together.”
“Icon of the Seas is the culmination of more than 50 years of delivering memorable vacations, and it’s set to live up to its name in more ways than one when it changes the vacation industry in January 2024,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “It’s that ability to make such a widespread impact and change the status quo that the Icon of Icon must personify, and Lionel Messi has proven to be the perfect example of that for years in the world of sports and most recently in introducing a new era of excitement and passion for fútbol in Miami and the U.S.”
As part of a longstanding maritime tradition, Messi will take part in the iconic naming celebration for Icon in Miami. The Icon of Icon will have the honor of bestowing safekeeping onto the new ship, its crew, and the millions of families who will create memories of a lifetime on board in the years to come.

I want to share my experience of getting a cryptocurrency business license in El Salvador. This is truly an exciting moment in the history of the crypto industry, and I’m glad to have been a part of this revolution! The process of obtaining an El Salvador crypto license has proven to be surprisingly simple and innovative. From the moment the country accepted Bitcoin as legal tender, there has been a real change here. Regulatory bodies are keen to support the development of the crypto-sphere, and this is felt at every turn. The filing and verification process was lightning-fast. The authorities were cooperative and helpful every step of the way. The initiative to educate entrepreneurs about cryptocurrencies and blockchain was especially gratifying. I believe that El Salvador is a great place for those who want to develop their crypto business. Diverse opportunities, government support, and a visionary approach to crypto regulation make this country a real paradise for crypto entrepreneurs. I wish everyone good luck and success in this exciting journey through the crypto world https://gofaizen-sherle.com/crypto-license/el-salvador !
