Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas spans nearly 1,200 feet (365 meters) from bow to stern. The ship, which will set sail from South Florida for its inaugural seven-day island-hopping voyage through the tropics, was officially christened Tuesday by soccer legend Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami colleagues.
Royal Caribbean Group President and CEO Jason Liberty said earlier this week: “Icon of the Seas is the culmination of more than 50 years of dreaming, innovating and living our mission: providing the world’s best vacation experiences. responsible manner. “She is the ultimate in multi-generational family vacations, forever changing the status quo in family travel and fulfilling the vacation dreams of all ages on board.”
The ship sets sail as Royal Caribbean cruises go online. Since December, the company’s nine-month-long “Ultimate World Cruise” has fascinated (and baffled) a devoted social media audience.
Millions of people follow the journey through the eyes of the passengers, who live and publish about their life aboard a ship where they will remain for almost a year.
If it sounds like a reality show, that’s what some viewers have turned it into.

When Icon of the Seas was first displayed in October 2022, it resulted in the busiest day and busiest week in Royal Caribbean’s 53-year history, according to the cruise company.
Icon of the Seas is organized into eight neighborhoods spanning 20 decks. The ship features six water slides, seven pools, an ice skating rink, a theater and more than 40 restaurants, bars and lounges. The ship has a maximum capacity of 7,600 passengers and 2,350 crew.
How is the cruise ship propelled?
It is powered by six dual-fuel engines that can run on liquefied natural gas (LNG), a fuel option that Cruise Lines International Association says minimizes sulfur and greenhouse gas emissions.

However, some environmentalists believe that LNG-powered ships increase methane emissions. Others claim that tourists emit eight times more carbon on a cruise than on land.
According to Royal Caribbean, every kilowatt spent on Icon of the Seas “is examined for energy efficiency and emissions reduction.”
