Icon of the Seas is the first in a new class of ships from cruising favourites Royal Caribbean.

These are five of the onboard attractions that we’re eager to experience.

The record-breaking waterpark

Category 6 will be the largest waterpark at sea, with six record breaking slides. There’s the Frightening Bolt, the tallest waterslide to sail, and the Pressure Drop, the first open freefall waterslide on a cruise.

Thrill Island

The most adrenaline-amping adventures converge here so brace yourself for all the turning and twisting. Reach new heights on the Adrenaline Peak rock-climbing wall and tee off at the Lost Dunes minigolf course.

Aquadome

World-class performers take on superhuman stunts around the five-story high waterfall that towers 55-feet above the above the ground.

Royal Bay

Royal Bay is the largest pool at sea, with over 40,000 gallons of water, meaning there will always be space for you. This sprawling oasis is complete with in-water loungers, raised whirlpools and ample space to soak up the sun.

The Grove Suite Sun Deck

This upgraded pool deck is exclusive to VIP guests. Here, you can take a dip and unwind in the whirlpool or relax on one of the swinging day beds.
