Royal Caribbean's next Icon ship is called Star of the Seas

It is under construction at Meyer Turku and scheduled to debut in summer 2025.

'The idea of combining the best of every type of vacation into one ultimate adventure has created more excitement than ever anticipated, and Star of the Seas will be the next bold answer to the record-breaking consumer demand we’ve seen for nearly a year and counting with Icon of the Seas,' RCI President/CEO Michael Bayley said.

Unprecedented demand

When Icon of the Seas' features were unveiled in October 2022, that led to Royal Caribbean's single largest booking day and highest volume booking week in the brand’s history.

The demand sparked the line to release Icon's 2025-26 program three months ahead of schedule and now Star’s name and debut season.
