Royal Caribbean could be getting 3 more Icon-class ships
Royal Caribbean introduced Icon of the Seas in Miami this year taking on the title of world’s largest cruise ship with sister ship Star of the Seas coming to Port Canaveral in 2025.
A third unnamed Icon-class ship is already under contract, but Royal Caribbean Group, the parent company to the cruise line, announced Tuesday its plans for a fourth ship to be built out of the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland with an option for a fifth and sixth ship in the future.
“Building on the incredible momentum and market response to the launch of Icon of the Seas and the excitement for its sister ship, Star of the Seas, coming in 2025, we’re thrilled to join with Meyer Turku once again to expand our roster of Icon Class ships and continue our future growth plans,” said Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty in a press release. “Since its debut, Icon has changed the game in vacation experiences and exceeded our expectations in both guest satisfaction and financial performance.”
