Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

A Look Inside Royal Caribbean’s Next Behemoth, Star of the Seas

 Ahead of its August 2025 debut, Royal Caribbean disclosed details about its next Icon-class adventure.

Star of the Seas’ long list of amenities includes over 40 food and beverage establishments, two suspended infinity pools, six record-breaking waterslides, and wraparound ocean views across eight neighborhoods.

“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,” announced Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley.

Five of the neighborhoods can only be found on the cruise line’s two Icon-class vessels, Icon of the Seas and the upcoming Star of the Seas:

Thrill Island is the first waterpark at sea. It has family raft slides, a drop slide, mat-racing slides, and more. Crown’s Edge is a thrilling skywalk perched 154 feet over the ocean. You’ll also find classic favorites like the FlowRider surf simulator and mini golf here.

Chill Island is the perfect place to grab a drink or snack, lounge by one of its seven pools, and catch your favorite DJs and bands. Each pool, including the largest pool at sea, offers a unique ambiance and the best ocean views.

The interior of the Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas showcases several decks with balconies, a central promenade lined with shops, colorful seating areas, and Neighborhoods and Attractions for all ages. The top deck features thrilling water slides, creating an unforgettable experience for passengers.



Surfside is the ideal retreat for families with young kids. Small children will enjoy playing at Baby Bay and Splashaway Bay, while parents can get a well-deserved break at Water’s Edge pool. The Lemon Post bar and Surfside Eatery have menu options for kids and adults.

The AquaDome offers a variety of entertainment. It’s a relaxing oasis by day and a happening hotspot by night. Bask in wraparound ocean views at The Overlook Bar and Overlook Pods while indulging in food and cocktails. Don’t miss the AquaTheater’s shows featuring aerialists, divers, dancers, and robots. 

Treat yourself to a beach club vacation at The Hideaway, an adults-only neighborhood 135 feet above the water. Its suspended infinity pool, dedicated bar, DJs, panoramic ocean views, and outdoor whirlpools give off beach club vibes.

Familiar Favorites on Royal Caribbean

A brightly colored multi-story building with open-air patios and shuttered windows stands majestically. People stroll along a tree-lined path with outdoor seating, reminiscent of the charm you'd find aboard the Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas or in one of their vibrant neighborhoods and attractions.

Star of the Seas will see the return of classic favorites from Icon of the Seas. Over 30,500 natural plants will line Central Park’s open-air venue. Meanwhile, Royal Promenade’s jaw-dropping views, the largest kinetic art sculpture on Earth, the Lincoln Park Supper Club, Lou’s Jazz ‘n Blues, sushi and champagne pick-up windows, and the Suite Neighborhood have been reimagined for the second Icon-class vessel.


The LNG-powered mega ship will join Utopia of the Seas in Port Canaveral next summer. Together, they will take guests to the Bahamas on 3-night weekend and 4-night weekday vacations. This is a great opportunity to visit the cruise line’s exclusive island resorts, Perfect Day at CocoCay and the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, which opens in late 2025.
