Get ready for some exciting news: a groundbreaking vacation experience is just around the corner, and it’s called Star of the Seas. With less than 100 days to go until the launch of this innovative ship, Royal Caribbean International has officially announced the name of its next Icon Class vessel, which will make its debut in the summer of 2025. This ship is set to follow the highly anticipated Icon of the Seas, marking the beginning of a new chapter in vacationing.
Royal Caribbean, known as the world’s largest cruise line, is gearing up to take the vacation experience to new heights with Star of the Seas. This ship promises to blend various vacation styles into one unforgettable journey, offering everything from beach getaways to resort-style relaxation and thrilling theme park adventures. Currently being built in Turku, Finland, the ship will feature a range of exciting experiences designed to cater to families and adventurers alike, ensuring that everyone can create lasting memories without having to compromise on their vacation preferences.
Michael Bayley, the president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, noting that the concept of merging the best elements of different vacation types has generated more excitement than they initially expected. The anticipation surrounding Star of the Seas is a direct response to the overwhelming demand seen since the announcement of Icon of the Seas, which led to record-breaking bookings for the cruise line. With highlights like thrilling waterslides, numerous pools, and a vibrant dining scene, Star of the Seas is poised to continue this trend and elevate the cruising experience to new levels.
Star is set to take a significant leap forward in this new chapter for the cruise line, becoming the third vessel in its fleet to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG). This innovative approach utilizes the cleanest-burning marine fuel currently available, and it’s complemented by a robust array of top-notch environmental initiatives onboard. From systems that recover waste heat to the ability to connect to shore power, Royal Caribbean’s most eco-friendly ship is a key player in the Royal Caribbean Group’s ambitious goal of launching a net-zero cruise ship by 2035.
