Royal Caribbean touts 'the next Icon' Star of the Seas

This continues the momentum from the recent Utopia of the Seas introduction at Canaveral, which followed PortMiami-based Icon of the Seas by just six months.

New Lincoln Park Supper Club

In August 2025, 'every type of family and vacationer can experience the acclaimed features first introduced by Icon of the Seas and even twists to fast favorites, like new restaurant Lincoln Park Supper Club, a 1930s Chicago-inspired spin on the supper club experience that pairs multiple courses with live entertainment,' the line said today.

Plus, Star of the Seas will reprise Icon thrills like the fastest and tallest waterslides along with more than 40 dining and drinking outlets and calls to Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Icon-class in Orlando

'Star of the Seas is the second bold act of this exciting, new era of vacations first introduced with Icon of the Seas, and it’s putting the world’s best vacation on the map at yet another top travel destination,' according to Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. He called it 'the only vacation that combines the best of all vacations — from the beach retreat to the resort escape and the theme park adventure — with experiences that have and will continue to make headlines and memories for years to come.'

Five neighborhoods are unique to Icon and Star.

Thrill Island offers six waterslides; Crown’s Edge, a skywalk 154 feet above the ocean; the FlowRider surf simulator, mini golf and spots to grab a bite and drinks.

Chill Island is home to four of seven pools, each with different vibes and ocean views, including swim-up bar Swim & Tonic and Royal Bay, the largest pool at sea. Here are live bands and DJs, and places for drinks and quick, casual food just steps away, like The Lime & Coconut.

The Surfside neighborhood is designed for young families with Splashaway Bay and Baby Bay and grown-ups nearby at Water’s Edge pool, plus dining options for adults and kids.

AquaDome houses AquaTheater shows with high divers, aerialists, robots and dancers with the AquaDome Market food hall, the Rye & Bean bar, Hooked and The Overlook bar and Overlook Pods for big views.

And The Hideaway is an adults-only spot that combines beach club vibes with a suspended infinity pool, DJ, bar and terrace with whirlpools.
