Royal Caribbean Has a Name for Its Newest Cruise Ship 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - October 31, 2023

Royal Caribbean has revealed the name for its newest cruise ship, set to debut in the summer of 2025: Star of the Seas. 

The new cruise ship will be the second in the company’s new “Icon Class,” following Icon of the Seas, which will be making its debut later this year. 

Star of the Seas is currently under construction in Finland. 

“The idea of combining the best of every type of vacation into one ultimate adventure has created more excitement than ever anticipated, and Star of the Seas will be the next bold answer to the record-breaking consumer demand we’ve seen for nearly a year and counting with Icon of the Seas,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.

Icon of the seas launched sales last October, kicking off what Royal Caribbean said was its single-largest booking day in its 53-year history. 

That led the company to release its 2025-2026 vacations on Icon three months ahead of schedule. 

Star of the Seas will be the third Royal Caribbean ship powered by liquefied natural gas.
