WHAT WILL YOU EXPERIENCE?  

The Largest Waterpark at Sea

The park includes six waterslides, each with record-breaking firsts: the 66-degree inclined Pressure Drop as the cruise industry’s first open free-fall slide; the 46-foot-tall Frightening Bolt, the tallest drop slide at sea; Storm Surge and Hurricane Hunter, the first 4-person family raft slides at sea; and the Storm Chasers pair of slides, cruising’s first mat racers.

Water, Water Everywhere

The waterpark is not the only place onboard Icon of the Seas for wet and wild fun. The ship will feature seven pools, including the Royal Bay pool – the largest pool ever at sea at more than 40,000 gallons. For comparison, a typical backyard swimming pool is a mere 10,000-12,000 gallons.

Royal Bay, located starboard midship on Deck 15, will not only have water, but also in-water lounge seating, elevated whirlpools, and palm trees for a truly tropical ambience.

Elsewhere on the ship, guests can find ways to splash at multiple other pools and whirlpools, including the Hideaway Pool aft on Deck 15, offering infinity views more than 65 feet above the deck and an energetic beach club vibe with a resident DJ.

Crown’s Edge

Crown’s Edge is a first-of-its-kind combination rope course, high plank skywalk, obstacle course, and zip line poised 154 feet above the ocean with a “surprising, shocking moment” that will take those who dare swinging out over the water – right past the cruise ship’s iconic crown and anchor emblem.

Family-Oriented Neighborhood

A new feature in the ship’s themed neighborhood concept will be the family-oriented Surfside neighborhood designed exclusively for younger families with children under age 6.

With happy, colorful decor and something for everyone, Surfside is a hotspot no one in the family will want to leave. The open-air promenade is home to the ship’s classic carousel as well as the youngster waterparks, Splashaway Bay and Baby Bay.

The ship’s high-energy arcade and Sugar Beach eatery are also part of Surfside, but the neighborhood isn’t just about the kids. Water’s Edge is an aft-facing infinity pool with relaxing views to provide a great spot for parents to decompress, while dining options and a bar are conveniently nearby.

Swim & Tonic

The most innovative cruise bar is Swim & Tonic, the cruise line’s first ever swim-up bar and the largest swim-up bar at sea. In-water loungers and group seating provide the ultimate ways to chill out while enjoying a chilling beverage.

Guests will also enjoy four locations of the Lime & Coconut. One of these special locations will be Royal Caribbean International’s first-ever frozen cocktail bar.

AquaDome

The amazing AquaDome houses a phenomenal waterfall featur which will add even more thrills to the Aquatheater three decks below. 

A tranquil oasis by day, AquaDome will offer wraparound ocean views and a calming atmosphere, but at night, it becomes a vibrant place complete with restaurants and bars.

The associated AquaTheater is taking artistry and cutting-edge technology to new heights with a transforming pool, four robotic arms, state-of-the-art projection, and more for the best water performances ever seen.

The Pearl

Of great interest to curious cruisers is The Pearl, a unique sphere-shaped structure of stunning connected staircases, likely with innovative special effects and lighting features in the interior, making it sure to be a photo hotspot.

AND THERE IS SO MUCH MORE!!
