The world’s largest cruise line will follow up Icon’s debut, the start of a new era of vacations, in the boldest way.

Currently under construction in Turku, Finland, the new ship and its features will soon be revealed.

“The idea of combining the best of every type of vacation into one ultimate adventure has created more excitement than ever anticipated, and Star of the Seas will be the next bold answer to the record-breaking consumer demand we’ve seen for nearly a year and counting with Icon of the Seas,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.

More on Royal Caribbean’s Icon Class

The first look at Icon and Icon Class set the tone in October 2022. It led to the cruise line’s single largest booking day and highest volume booking week in the brand’s history. The unprecedented consumer demand sparked Royal Caribbean to release 2025-2026 vacations on Icon three months ahead of schedule and now Star’s name and debut season. 

Icon’s highlights include six record-breaking waterslides at Thrill Island’s Category 6 waterpark and seven pools – one for every day of the week. Surfside is a stay-all-day neighborhood for young families. Further, there’s entertainment across air, ice, water and stage, along with 40-plus ways to dine and drink.

Star will also mark another step in this new era as the cruise line’s third ship powered by LNG. With applications ranging from waste heat recovery systems to shore power connection, Royal Caribbean’s most sustainable ship will advance parent company Royal Caribbean Group’s journey to introducing a net-zero cruise ship by 2035.
