Icon of the Seas Details

The Icon of the Seas, which dazzles with its magnitude on the beaches of Miami, measures 48.5 meters wide (about the same as a soccer field) and 365 meters long between its ends. To get an idea of its grandeur, the Statue of Liberty in New York is 95 meters high.

Some of its interior cabins have space to accommodate three to five occupants. One of its attractions are the Ultimate Family Townhouses, three-storey villas that surprise with their luxury and comforts, which would send you nothing to those on the mainland.

Another novelty is the installation of the largest swimming pool within a cruise ship. It is known as the Royal Bay Pool, which holds almost 151,000 liters of water.
