Icon of the Seas: Full Tour of the World’s Largest Cruise Ship That Started a New Era

🚢 Icon of the Seas was the ship that forever changed the scale of modern cruising: 248,663 gross tons, 365 meters (1,198 feet) long, 20 decks, and capacity for up to 7,600 passengers. In this full tour, we step inside Royal Caribbean’s first Icon Class ship — the pioneer of a new generation of floating cities. Discover its eight neighborhoods, seven pools, Central Park with more than 20,000 real plants, the Category 6 waterpark with six waterslides, The Hideaway infinity pool suspended above the ocean, the AquaDome, the Absolute Zero ice arena, and more than 40 bars and restaurants. We also explore some of its most spectacular staterooms and suites, including the three-story Ultimate Family Townhouse, before heading deep inside the ship to discover its liquefied natural gas (LNG) engines and propulsion systems that help move a floating city carrying nearly 10,000 passengers and crew. But on Deck 16, one of the most extreme attractions ever installed on a cruise ship awaits: Crown’s Edge, a walkway suspended over the ocean where part of the floor drops away beneath your feet, leaving you hanging beyond the side of the ship. From the pools and neighborhoods on the upper decks to the kitchens, entertainment venues, and engine spaces below, join us for a cinematic, deck-by-deck tour of the cruise ship that ushered in a new era for Royal Caribbean. Would you dare to take on Crown’s Edge, or would you rather enjoy the Caribbean from The Hideaway with a cocktail in hand? Let us know in the comments.
