Star of the Seas

The Star of the Seas is the second vessel in Royal Caribbean’s revolutionary Icon Class. Considered a marvel of modern engineering, this ship is a “vacation city” designed to offer the ultimate experience for both families and thrill-seekers. Powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), it stands out for its design based on eight distinct “neighborhoods,” combining the best of a beach resort, a theme park, and a luxury retreat. Alongside its sister ship Icon of the Seas, it is one of the largest and most advanced ships ever built.

Attractions

Entertainment on this ship breaks every known record:

• Thrill Island: Home to Category 6, the largest waterpark at sea with 6 heart-pumping slides, including the first open-freefall slide on a cruise.

• AquaDome: An iconic structure at the bow featuring a 17-meter (55 ft) waterfall and shows that blend high-diving, synchronized swimming, and robotic technology.

• Crown’s Edge: A pure adrenaline attraction that is part skywalk, part ropes course, and part thrill ride, hanging 47 meters (154 ft) above the sea.

• Surfside: A neighborhood dedicated exclusively to young families, featuring pools, splash zones, and the fleet’s most modern carousel.

• Chill Island: Seven different pools, each with a distinct vibe, including the first suspended infinity pool at sea (The Hideaway).
