Starting August
2025, the next combination of every vacation will headline
Port Canaveral (Orlando),
Florida, with the record-setting
lineup of Icon Class experiences
MIAMI, Aug. 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Caribbean International's
Star of the Seas will soon double the world's best
vacation count in one of the world's top travel destinations, and
the full lineup of unrivaled experiences in store has been
revealed. From thrills like the fastest and tallest
waterslides to 40-plus ways to dine and drink combined
with adventures in idyllic destinations like the cruise
line's Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas, the next combination of the best of
every vacation sets the stage for everyone to make memories from
Port Canaveral (Orlando),
Florida. To dive into the
exclusive details and book the highly anticipated 7-night vacations
on Star, adventurers can visit Royal Caribbean's
website.
In August 2025, every type of
family and vacationer can experience the acclaimed features first
introduced by Icon of the Seas and even twists to fast
favorites, like new restaurant Lincoln Park Supper Club – a
1930s Chicago-inspired spin on the
supper club experience that pairs multiple courses with live
entertainment. On deck is everything from the six
adrenaline-pumping waterslides at Category 6 waterpark
and seven pools – one for every day of the week – to the
Surfside neighborhood designed
for young families and what will be one of only two suspended
infinity pools at sea – the adults-only Hideaway.
"Star of the Seas is the second bold act of this
exciting, new era of vacations first introduced with Icon of the
Seas, and it's putting the world's best vacation on the map at
yet another top travel destination," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal
Caribbean International. "Between Miami and Port Canaveral
(Orlando), more adventurers than
ever can set their sights on the only vacation that combines the
best of all vacations – from the beach retreat to the resort escape
and the theme park adventure – with experiences that have and will
continue to make headlines and memories for years to come."
Star is set to bring more of the revolutionary
Icon Class combination across eight neighborhoods that are
destinations in themselves, with everything from restaurants and
bars to live entertainment and more. The highlights include five
neighborhoods unique to Icon and Star:
- Thrill Island – There are thrills of all kinds with
Category 6, the first waterpark at sea when introduced on
Icon, and its six record-breaking waterslides – from
family raft slides to a drop slide and mat-racing duos; Crown's
Edge, the part skywalk and thrill ride 154
feet above the ocean; plus longtime favorites, the FlowRider
surf simulator and mini golf, and spots to grab a bite and drinks
like Basecamp and Desserted.
- Chill Island – The three-deck slice of paradise is home
to four of seven pools, each with different vibes and prime ocean
views, including swim-up bar Swim & Tonic and
Royal Bay, the largest pool
at sea. With live bands and DJs, and places for drinks and quick,
casual food just steps away, like The Lime & Coconut,
vacationers can chill day and night.
- Surfside – The
neighborhood designed for young families is where they can
stay and play all day together and without compromise. There's
everything from ways to splash, with kids and tots at Splashaway
Bay and Baby Bay and
grown-ups nearby at Water's Edge pool, to spots to grab a
bite like Surfside Eatery and The Lemon Post bar –
all with options for adults and kids.
- AquaDome – The tranquil oasis by day and vibrant hot
spot at night atop of Star is back with wraparound ocean
views, deck-defying shows with high divers, aerialists,
robots, dancers and more at the marquee AquaTheater; and
food and drinks to take it all in at the AquaDome Market
food hall, the Rye & Bean bar, Hooked and The
Overlook bar and Overlook Pods for jaw-dropping views.
- The Hideaway – Hidden 135 feet above the ocean,
the adults-only spot combines all the good vibes of beach
club scenes around the world with a suspended infinity pool
– joining the only other pool of its kind on Icon – a
DJ, dedicated bar, a terrace with whirlpools
and uninterrupted ocean views.
The tried-and-true favorites reimagined on Icon round out
the best-selling Icon Class vacations on Star, from the
Royal Promenade with floor-to-ceiling ocean views, the
jaw-dropping Pearl – the world's largest kinetic art
sculpture – and 15-plus restaurants, bars and lounges to
the open-air Central Park lined with more than
30,500 real plants and alive day to night with restaurants
like the new Lincoln Park Supper Club, live music at
Lou's Jazz 'n Blues, convenient pick-up windows for sushi
and champagne, and more. Plus, the ultra-luxe and exclusive
Suite Neighborhood.
Star is also joining the newly debuted Oasis Class
vacation, Utopia of the Seas – the ultimate short
getaway – when it arrives in Port Canaveral (Orlando). By next summer, vacationers
celebrating any occasion or just getting away can head to
Central Florida and have their
pick of the best of both worlds – a weeklong Caribbean vacation, a 3-night weekend or
4-night weekday getaway to The Bahamas, with weekend energy from
beginning to end; or both. Also upping the ante when it comes to
destinations and joining the expanding lineup of Royal Caribbean's
standout experiences will be the opening of Royal Beach Club
Paradise Island in The Bahamas
– the first of the Royal Beach Club Collection – in late
2025.
Vacations on Star are open to book on Royal Caribbean's
website. Media can find assets and more information
