Embarking on a new era of vacations, Royal Caribbean International proudly unveils the first glimpse of its latest addition to the highly acclaimed Icon Class – the Star of the Seas. This revolutionary vessel promises unforgettable getaways tailored for every type of family and adventurer. Commencing from August 2025, eager vacationers can embark on a fresh voyage from Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida, indulging in 7-night escapades to the Caribbean and Royal Caribbean’s renowned private haven, Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas. The inaugural lineup for Star is now accessible on Royal Caribbean’s website, with exclusive early booking privileges granted to Crown & Anchor Society loyalty members ahead of the official opening on Wednesday, Dec. 6.
Offering a stylish island-hopping experience in the eastern or western Caribbean destinations and The Bahamas, Star’s newly unveiled vacations showcase picturesque locales such as Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis; Cozumel, Mexico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; Roatan, Honduras; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Each excursion promises the opportunity to unwind or indulge in excitement at Perfect Day at CocoCay, featuring a myriad of attractions ranging from 13 exhilarating waterslides to the Caribbean and The Bahamas’ largest freshwater pool. The island introduces its first adults-only sanctuary, Hideaway Beach (opening January 2024), boasting a private beach, pools, drink and dining spots, exclusive cabanas, live music, and more.
Following the resounding success of welcoming Icon of the Seas to the family, Royal Caribbean introduces the groundbreaking combination of experiences to Port Canaveral (Orlando) for the first time with the arrival of Star. This vessel embodies the epitome of vacations, seamlessly blending beach retreats, resort escapes, and theme park adventures across eight distinct neighborhoods. From the thrill-seekers’ haven of Thrill Island to the serene day-to-night oasis of AquaDome and the vibrant Central Park, Star caters to diverse preferences. With over 40 dining and drinking options, cutting-edge entertainment across air, ice, water, and theater stages, and a plethora of activities for all age groups, Star ensures that every day is a memory-making experience without compromise.
Star’s Icon Class highlights include adrenaline-pumping attractions such as the Category 6 waterpark’s record-breaking waterslides and Crown’s Edge – a fusion of skywalk, ropes course, and thrill ride. Seven pools, each catering to different vibes and moods, including the swim-up bar Swim & Tonic, the adults-only retreat Cloud 17, and The Hideaway’s unique infinity pool suspended 135 feet above the ocean, provide unrivaled ways to unwind. Families can bask in shared moments while enjoying their individual adventures, with Surfside offering an all-day playground for young families featuring splash zones for all ages, dedicated restaurants, and The Lemon Post bar with menus for both adults and kids. Further details about new experiences in the world’s best family vacation lineup will be unveiled at a later date.
By debuting in Port Canaveral (Orlando), Royal Caribbean solidifies its commitment to the revolutionary combination of vacation experiences, first introduced with Icon, and now flourishing with unprecedented consumer demand. With two of the world’s best vacations set in two premier travel destinations – Icon in Miami and Star in the greater Orlando area – Royal Caribbean is poised to create a bold new chapter in the era of vacations.
