Icon of the Seas debuts as world's most expensive cruise

The Icon of the Seas, the world's largest and most expensive cruise ship, cost £1.5 billion to build. It can hold over 5,600 passengers and features 2,805 staterooms. The ship made its maiden voyage on January 27, 2024, from PortMiami. This ship is notable for its liquefied natural gas power system, making it the first Royal Caribbean vessel to use this fuel. It includes seven swimming pools, the largest waterpark at sea, and the tallest water slide on a cruise ship. Icon of the Seas is designed as a "floating city," offering attractions for families and thrill-seekers. It combines theme park excitement with luxury resort relaxation, featuring unique venues like an ice skating rink and a suspended infinity pool.
