The biggest ever projects occur at market tops amid wild any thing goes optimism. Royal Caribbean's 2,000 foot long ship which accomodates near 10,000 passengers and crew
fits this description perfectly.
Picture this: Twenty stories, more than 50 dining experiences, seven pools, over 2,800 staterooms and a capacity of 5,610 guests (plus staff!). Add to this an expansive two-level shopping promenade and a reimagined Central Park (complete with 30,000 living plants and trees), and you'll very quickly forget you’re on a boat once you board the Icon of the Seas. The ship itself is 1,198 feet long and 250,800 GT (gross tonnage; or the internal volume), making it over five times as large as the Titanic (which was 46,328 GT).
During its first year in service, the giant vessel will operate year-round seven-night sailings from Miami to the Caribbean, Mexico, and Royal Caribbean's private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Icon's least expensive 2024 sailing currently starts at almost $2,590 a person.
At about $370 per person a day, sailing on Royal Caribbean's new product costs as much as some premium cruise lines.
