MIAMI, HERE COME THE GIANTS: Icon of the Seas Steams Into Port
The highly anticipated arrival of Icon of the Seas, Royal Caribbean's behemoth cruise ship, has finally arrived in Miami. The seventh Oasis-class Royal Caribbean International ship measured approximately 236,857 gross tons and boasted an impressive capacity of 6,988 passengers - a milestone in the history of cruise ships. At over 1,188 feet in length, Icon of the Seas is the largest cruise ship in the world, setting a new standard in innovation and luxury on the open sea.
With a dueling-length buffet and several unique recreational offerings - including a zipline, a hot tub that overhangs the side, an indoor pool, an ice skating rink, a carousel, and an AquaTheater amphitheater in the AquaTheater - the Icon of the Seas has broken the bar in exciting ways for hundreds of thousands of travelers. Icon of the Seas, positioned alongside the already enormous ships that Royal Caribbean has built over the last 50 years, sailed into Miami port with a bright, vibrant, welcoming spirit and livelihood into the fanbase.
