ICONIC THRILLS

Take your best-ever vacation and crank it up — way up. This is a whole new class of adventure. The kind that fills every moment with new thrills and changes the way you play for good. Like braving six record-breaking slides at Category 6, the largest waterpark at sea. Or finding the courage to conquer the Crown’s Edge, a test of bravery like nothing you’ve ever dared, dangling high above the ocean.


Icon Water's Edge

Make the most of every minute together at Surfside — it’s a stay-all-day neighborhood for families. Everything you could want for your boldest day of bonding is right here, so your whole crew will never want to leave. Open the floodgates on fun at the sprawling Splashaway Bay aquapark with slides, spray fountains and a massive drench bucket that keeps the kids running back for more.

Or head to the Water’s Edge pool for unmatched, infinite horizon views. In between arcade plays and carousel spins, fuel up at dining spots serving crowd-pleasing bites and foodie delights. Kids of all ages get hangout spots of their own with the award-winning Adventure Ocean and Social 020 teen space close by. And finish by toasting to your best family vacation ever at a new family-friendly hangout mixing up kid-approved sips as well as grownup drinks with a twist.

ICONIC CHILLS

Save room for some extra splash — Icon of the Seas has an all- you-can-swim buffet of unique pools to satisfy any mood you’re in. Take your pick of seven different pools, plus nine whirlpools. All with next-level ocean views, so you’ll always feel connected to the sea.

Like The Hideaway, the first suspended pool at sea, buzzing with beach club beats high in the sky. Cloud 17SM is your adults-only pool side oasis in a new stratosphere of chic. Frozen cocktails are on tap at The Lime & Coconut bar spanning multiple levels, or you can dive in and order up at the largest swim-up bar at sea, Swim & Tonic.

It’s your day your way — soak up every minute.
