The Ship Itself
Onboard Neighborhoods
Icon of the Seas is built around eight distinct neighborhoods — here's what's waiting outside your stateroom door, wherever you end up.
Thrill Island
Category 6 Waterpark
6 Record-Breaking Slides
The largest waterpark at sea, home to Frightening Bolt (the tallest drop slide at sea) and Pressure Drop℠, the first open free-fall slide ever built into a cruise ship.
Thrill Island
Adrenaline Peak & FlowRider®
Climbing · Surfing · Sports
A rock-climbing expedition with routes for every skill level, plus the FlowRider surf simulator, a full sports court, and Lost Dunes mini-golf.

The Hideaway
Adults-Only
The first suspended infinity pool at sea, eight stories above the ocean, with a beach-club atmosphere and bubbly cocktails made for grown-up time away from the crowd.
Chill Island
Swim & Tonic℠
Largest Swim-Up Bar at Sea
Gin-based cocktails, a resident DJ, and a pool you never have to leave to get another round — the social heart of the pool deck.

A space that transforms from moment to moment — daytime fountain shows beneath a glass dome, and nightly Aqua Action performances with superhuman aquatic stunts once the sun goes down.
Surfside
Surfside Neighborhood
Built For Families
Royal Caribbean's first neighborhood designed just for families — its own pool, dedicated dining, and entertainment scaled for younger kids, all in one contained area of the ship.
Crown's Edge℠ — a hybrid skywalk, ropes course and thrill ride where the floor gives way, suspending you above the ocean.
Royal Bay℠ Pool — a 40,000-gallon pool, the largest at sea, with in-water loungers.
Central Park — an open-air, tree-lined deck in the middle of the ship with quieter bars and cafés.
Suite Neighborhood — a private retreat for suite guests with its own lounge and Coastal Kitchen restaurant.
