See Royal Caribbean's Newest Giant Cruise Ship, Utopia of the Seas

You will have plenty of diversity, which is something older Royal Caribbean ships usually struggle with. Prior to arriving in Miami on January 10, the ship sailed to Cádiz, Spain and Ponce, Puerto Rico for some finishing touches. Icon of the Seas will offer 7-night cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean from Miami, Florida. Star of the Seas is the newest Royal Caribbean ship that you can book right now. While the ship isn't yet sailing, its initial sailings scheduled for August 2025 are already on sale, as are future sailings through April 2026. Royal Caribbean also has two more vessels similar to Icon of the Seas on order from shipyards for delivery in 2025 and 2026.

Mariner of the Seas (

In early 2021, Royal Caribbean pushed back the delivery dates of a number of cruise ships by effectively delaying them for a year. In Thrill Island, you can discover Category 6 waterpark – the largest waterpark at sea with 6 record-breaking slides – or Crown’s Edge, the ultimate aerial adventure and a new test of bravery. This is also where you'll find the first suspended infinity pool at sea, and it’s surrounded by a multilevel terrace, whirlpools, a variety of seating and dedicated bar. Royal Caribbean wants The Hideaway to have the same feel of a beach club or Las Vegas pool party, while incorporating beautiful ocean views. If you want to live the suite life, Icon of the Seas will offer the largest Suite Neighborhood to date with three decks of space, including a two-level suite sun deck.

Adventure of the Seas (

On Icon of the Seas, you'll find the ice area on the Royal Promenade, which will be the largest ice area they've built. It will feature "Absolute Zero, where cutting-edge technology and Olympic-level ice skaters merge to bring showstopping entertainment to life." Royal Bay Pool in the new Chill Island neighborhood on Icon of the Seas is the largest pool at sea.

Utopia’s short itineraries contrast against Icon of the Sea’s week-long inaugural sailings this year.

Encounter top level cruise experiences and its seven neighborhoods. Envision your next travel vacation, as you plan the best family cruise getaway while sailing onboard the Voyager of the Seas.

Vision of the Seas is the newest of Royal Caribbean's Vision Class ships, which are the smallest ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet. Unlike most Royal Caribbean ships, they offer fewer onboard attractions and amenities than is typical for the line's vessels. Voyager of the Seas was the original Voyager Class ship, and at the time of its debut, it was the biggest cruise ship in the world.

It's a great idea to work with a good travel agent to get everything ready. Category 6 will be the largest waterpark at sea, with six record-breaking slides featuring the longest, tallest, and fastest slides. You'll also find suites-only private pool, whirlpool and a new casual Mediterranean dining venue.

To compare, Wonder of the Seas is 1,188 feet long and measures 235,600 tons. It carries 7,084 passengers at maximum occupancy (all berths filled). You’ve never had a family vacay like this before — with more onboard to see, do, play and conquer.

Guests staying in suites have access to a shared outdoor lounge.

Named Best for Families in the Cruise Critic’s Choice Awards, Harmony of the Seas® delivers thrills to explorers of all ages. Referred to as the Discovery Class, these ships are reportedly going to be somewhat smaller, so it can replace the aging Vision and Radiance Class ships. Royal Caribbean ordered its sixth Oasis Class ship in 2019, and then with three Icon Class ships on order (and maybe a new class of ship coming too), it seemed like the Oasis Class was done. "Across our three brands, we are focused on continuously challenging ourselves to deliver the ultimate vacation experience."

Brilliance of the Seas, smaller than Oasis Class cruise ships, offers an intimate low-key vibe that has kept a strong fanbase among vacation travelers. Instead, there's The Hideaway, which was designed to have a Las Vegas pool party vibe and features the first suspended infinity pool at sea, an expansive bar area, day beds, whirlpools, and lounge chairs. That makes them a good choice for someone who wants to try Royal Caribbean but isn't eager to travel with huge crowds.

Icon will also be about 10 feet longer than Wonder of the Seas, coming in at 1,198 feet long. The first sailing is scheduled for the end of January, and Icon will be the first of at least three new cruise ships in this class. When the temperature drops, you can explore the vibrant shores of the Western Caribbean on a 7 night adventure onboard Oasis of the Seas®. Cruise to Perfect Day at Cococay to conquer the tallest waterslide in North America and grab a drink at the largest freshwater swim up bar in the Bahamas. Make it a romantic escape for two, or bring the whole family along for the thrills.

There are also non-suite panoramic ocean view balcony rooms, similar to the infinite verandah concept first introduced on Celebrity Edge. Located in the Surfside neighborhood, the Surfside Family Suite can accommodate up to 4 guests. Grownups can hang back at Water’s Edge pool as the kiddos play at Splashaway Bay and Baby Bay, complete with slides, fountains, water cannons, a drench bucket and more. As you walk onto the ship, you'll be greeted by The Pearl, which is a new space that Royal Caribbean will reveal more details about later. Cloud 17 is an adults-only retreat and home to the dedicated bar, the signature Lime & Coconut.

This upgraded pool deck is exclusively for Star & Sky Class Suite guests. Similar to how the Oasis Class ships introduced the concept of neighborhoods to break up the layout of the cruise ship, Icon of the Seas will have neighborhoods too. The ship itself will be delivered at the end of October or early November 2023 and since it is the first ship of a new class, extra testing and adjusting will be required before she can enter service. Combined with the holidays at the end of the year, the first revenue sailing won't take place until late January. After years of speculation, Royal Caribbean revealed details about what its next-gen cruise ship will offer onboard, including our first look at the ship itself.
