The over 1200ft long and 250,800 ton freighter appeared to glide through the sea off the coast of Finland.

A suspended infinity pool and a three-story family suite are just two of the luxurious features available onboard.

The ship’s front features a large glass viewing area and colorful twisting slides for tourists to enjoy.

Over 2,000 crew members will reside onboard the massive vessel in a “home away from home” that was just added.

Icon of the Seas will have the largest water park at sea, with record-breaking slides and more amusement alternatives.

A swim-up bar called “Swim and Tonic” is also included on the incredible ship.

The “aqua dome” allows tourists to drink while taking in the panoramic views of the ocean from an internal cascade.

It has approximately 20 decks, pools, and can seat about 8,000 visitors.

Starting in January 2024, Icon of the Seas will sail with eight distinct neighborhoods covering 20 decks, including anything from a sunken pirate ship on the top deck to the line’s largest ice arena in the ship’s bowels.

Thousands of people will be fed and entertained by over 40 food, bar, and nightlife establishments.

Cruisers will be able to select from 28 various cabin styles, including the Ultimate Family Townhouse, which spans three decks and includes a slide, white picket fence, and mailbox.

Infinite Balcony suites will have a retractable window that converts floor-to-ceiling glass into a balcony, while new Sunset Corner Suites will have expansive terraces facing the ship’s stern.

The Royal Promenade, with floor-to-ceiling ocean vistas, and more than 15 restaurants, cafes, bars, and lounges, will be returning favorites.

There’s also a lovely Central Park with thousands of flowers, plants, and trees.

And the Royal Caribbean’s largest ‘Suite Neighbourhood’ features three levels of luxury accommodations, as well as a sun deck, private pool, and restaurant.

The new ship will also be the most environmentally friendly in the line’s history, as it will be the first to use fuel cell technology and will be fueled by liquefied natural gas.
