Modern cruise ships are striking in their size, but there are real champions among them: there is a new record holder who is preparing for his debut voyage. What is this unique ship and when will it set sail?
5 times the size of the Titanic
The Icon Of The Seas is a colossal ship that was recently recognized as the largest cruise ship in history: its length is 365 meters, which puts it on a par with the largest passenger liners of all time.
However, it is 90 meters shorter than the oil tanker Knock Nevis, which holds the record for the longest ship.
The Icon of the Seas boasts a cargo capacity of almost 250,000 people, which is five times the capacity of the famous Titanic. This floating resort offers its guests not only spacious cabins, but also a variety of activities: more than 40 different places for dining and entertainment and 20 decks, each promising a unique experience, the largest water park on the sea, making the ship an ideal place for a family holiday.
Designed to comfortably accommodate 7,000 passengers, the ship offers a variety of cabins to suit all tastes and budgets, from exclusive apartments to more affordable options.
This grand ship set off on its maiden voyage at the end of January 2024 from Miami, where it was being prepared for a historic voyage. Of course, the rest on board promises to be unforgettable!
