There’s a never-ending race for superlatives when it comes to the world of boat-building, and Royal Caribbean is raising the stakes with its latest announcement. The company’s newest ship, Icon of the Seas, is set to launch in January 2024, and it’s billed the answer to many families’ classic vacation problem: Accommodating a group with diverse vacationing preferences.
Oh, and to boot: The Icon-class ship will be 1,198 feet long and measure 250,800 gross tons, which will make it the largest cruise ship in the world.
