Royal Caribbean International’s Icon of the Seas reached its next major construction milestone at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland.
The first Icon Class ship was floated out from the dry dock where it has been under construction for more than eight months.
As part of the float out, the ship’s dry dock was filled with water overnight.
Once the dock was filled, Icon was then moved to an outfitting dock, which will be its home for the next year until the construction is complete.
The cruise line said in a statement that Icon will feature the first-of-its-kind combination of the “best of every vacation”.
Unique features include a beach retreat, a resort escape and a theme park adventure with firsts and next-level favourites across eight neighbourhoods.
Guests can look forward to adrenaline-pumping thrills at the new Thrill Island and unrivalled ways to chill at neighbourhoods like the new Chill Island and the luxurious four-level Suite Neighbourhood.
Icon will sail year-round, 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean vacations from Miami.
Every cruise will visit Royal Caribbean’s top-rated private island destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, The Bahamas, and a mix of destinations like Cozumel, Mexico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; and Basseterre, St. Kitts.
