The Star of the Seas has recently undergone a float-out ceremony at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland, marking a pivotal moment in its construction journey. After 19 months of rigorous work, this latest addition to the Icon Class ships is one step closer to welcoming its first guests.
During the float-out, the vessel was transferred from the construction drydock to the outfitting quay, where it will remain as interior work continues. This process is crucial as it allows for further development of the ship’s features.
With a scheduled launch from Port Canaveral, Florida in August 2025, the ship’s construction is on track. This timeframe provides ample opportunity for detailed outfitting and ensures that every aspect of the ship meets the high standards set by Royal Caribbean.
The Star of the Seas promises a fresh take on luxury sea travel. Its unique offerings include eight diverse neighbourhoods, each tailored to different guest preferences, providing a varied onboard experience. One neighbourhood is specifically designed for young families, enhancing the ship’s appeal to all demographics.
In addition to its innovative layout, the ship boasts six exhilarating waterslides and a remarkable array of over 40 restaurants, catering to a multitude of culinary tastes and preferences.
The itineraries for Star of the Seas include seven-night Caribbean cruises, featuring destinations such as Coco-Cay in the Bahamas, offering passengers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
