Our take · opinion

Icon energy, Port Canaveral base

Our take: Star of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's second ICON-class megaship—same neighborhood playbook as Icon, based in Port Canaveral. We'd put multi-gen families and wow-first first-timers here when the Caribbean week should feel like a stacked resort, not a quiet ship.

We experience Star as Icon's twin with a Florida Space Coast embarkation. Surfside is the toddler-and-parent neighborhood; Central Park for greenery and evening music; Thrill Island and Category 6 when someone wants slides; AquaDome when you want glass, water shows, and a night out without leaving the ship. Pick a home-base neighborhood on day one so a ship this size works for you instead of against you.

Cabins are the multi-gen advantage on ICON: most rooms sleep three or more, balconies dominate the inventory, and Infinite Balconies give you a weather plan without jumping straight to suite money. We'd look hard at Family Infinite Balcony and Surfside Family Suite when kids need their own bunk zone. Ask us about quieter banks away from pool decks and elevator cores before you lock a category.

Evenings run Broadway-scale shows, neighborhood restaurants, and suite perks in the Suite Neighborhood if you want ship-within-a-ship calm. Versus Oasis Plus sisters, ICON feels more clearly zoned and less like one long hallway, which is why friend groups and multi-gen parties do best when everyone claims a home base early. Soft CTA: sailings on this page; confirm the itinerary and cabin bank with us before you book.

She's for
  • Multi-generational families who want a kids' neighborhood that isn't an afterthought
  • First-timers who want maximum wow per night from Port Canaveral
  • Friend groups treating a Caribbean week like a resort-park holiday
  • Icon fans who prefer a Space Coast embarkation
She's not for
  • Travellers chasing hush and white-tablecloth calm
  • Anyone who gets stressed in crowds or long elevator waits
  • Shoppers who want a small-ship, port-intensive week over onboard spectacle
Honest caveat

At full load, peak hours at Category 6, the main pools, and elevators need patience. We'll steer you toward quieter cabin pockets and off-peak dining so you skip the worst bottlenecks.

Star of the Seas, on paper

Show ship backgroundHide ship background

Star of the Seas is the second ICON-class ship from Meyer Turku in Finland, with keel laying in December 2023, delivery in July 2025, and inauguration in August 2025 from Port Canaveral. She shares the class with Icon (2024), Legend (2026), and Hero (2027). Size and capacity numbers live on the fact sheet on this page.

ICON is Royal Caribbean Group's first all-new megaship class after years of Oasis and Quantum growth. Dual-fuel LNG is the primary fuel, with marine diesel backup for ports without LNG bunkering, plus shore power, air lubrication, and fuel-cell systems. Neighborhoods reuse Oasis DNA such as Central Park and the Royal Promenade, then add ICON-only zones like Surfside, Thrill Island, and AquaDome, alongside Infinite Balcony rooms and family-forward suites new to the fleet.

Her early program is year-round Eastern and Western Caribbean roundtrips from Port Canaveral. Confirm this sailing's ports and embarkation on the sailings table below. Deployments can shift season to season, so treat the schedule on this page as the live source of truth for dates and itineraries.
