MIAMI — Royal Caribbean International is preparing to make waves with its latest ship, the Star of the Seas, set to launch in August 2025. As the newest addition to the Icon Class lineup, Star of the Seas will bring a wealth of innovative features and thrilling activities designed to captivate travellers of all ages. Among the highlights is the Lincoln Park Supper Club, a 1930s Chicago-inspired dining experience that pairs live entertainment with gourmet courses.

For thrill-seekers, the ship offers Category 6, the first waterpark at sea, featuring six record-breaking waterslides, including a 154-foot-high skywalk-thrill ride, Crown’s Edge. Families will find a haven in the Surfside neighborhood, specially designed for young travellers. Here, children can enjoy Splashaway Bay and Baby Bay, while parents relax at nearby Water’s Edge pool.

The adults-only Hideaway provides a secluded retreat, boasting one of only two suspended infinity pools at sea, complete with a DJ and stunning ocean views. The Star of the Seas is not just a ship; it’s a floating city divided into eight neighborhoods, each offering a unique blend of activities, dining, and entertainment. Highlights include: Starting from Port Canaveral, the Star of the Seas will offer a variety of seven-night Caribbean itineraries, giving travellers access to world-class destinations like Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas.

Star is also joining the newly debuted, Oasis Class-Utopia of the Seas when it arrives in Po.
