Star of the Seas redefines what a family vacation at sea can be. As the latest Icon Class ship, it brings together adventure, relaxation, world-class dining, and immersive entertainment, offering travelers of all ages an unforgettable journey. From the moment you step aboard, the ship invites exploration, curiosity, and shared experiences, creating a floating world where every day feels like a new destination.
Royal Caribbean’s new flagship is built around eight unique neighborhoods, each designed to cater to different moods and interests. Adventure seekers will find endless thrills, while those seeking serenity can discover secluded corners to unwind. Families can spend the day together, explore on their own, or indulge in moments of quiet luxury, all while enjoying the ship’s environmentally conscious design. Powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and equipped with advanced waste heat recovery and shore power connections, the ship blends luxury with sustainability, making it a vacation experience that feels responsible as well as extraordinary.
Eight Unique Neighborhoods for the Perfect Vacay at Sea
At the heart of the ship is Thrill Island, a playground for adrenaline lovers. Here, waterslides, surf simulators, rock walls, and the daring Crown’s Edge skywalk combine to create experiences that are both exhilarating and unforgettable. Families can scream, laugh, and challenge themselves together as they embrace the energy and excitement of this one-of-a-kind space.
For moments of calm, Chill Island offers a serene poolside escape, with multiple pools, live music, and tropical cocktails to accompany the gentle rhythm of the ocean. Whether lounging with a book, enjoying a quiet swim, or dancing to a poolside DJ, guests can soak up the sun and the view at their own pace.
The Surfside neighborhood has been thoughtfully designed for families with young children, offering spaces where kids can splash, play, and explore, while parents can relax nearby. Dining options are welcoming to all ages, creating a seamless balance between family activity and comfortable downtime.
The AquaDome serves as the ship’s centerpiece, combining stunning ocean vistas with entertainment and dining. By day, it provides a light-filled, tranquil space; by night, it transforms into a dazzling venue for shows featuring high divers, aerialists, and mesmerizing water performances. Dining options here range from casual meals at the AquaDome Market to fresh seafood at Hooked, allowing guests to enjoy memorable meals with a view.
For travelers seeking solitude, The Hideaway offers an adults-only retreat high above the ocean. With a suspended infinity pool, whirlpools, and expansive terrace views, this neighborhood provides the perfect escape from the lively energy found elsewhere on board.
Signature spaces such as the Royal Promenade, Central Park, and the kinetic art installation Pearl invite guests to wander, explore, and discover the artistry and design that make Star of the Seas unique. Travelers staying in the Suite Neighborhood enjoy elevated amenities, exclusive sun decks, and premium dining experiences, combining privacy with luxury while remaining connected to the excitement of the ship.
Entertainment on Star of the Seas is as diverse as its neighborhoods, with Broadway-style productions, aerial and water performances, and immersive shows designed to captivate all ages. Culinary options are equally broad, offering more than forty venues to satisfy every palate, from quick bites to refined, multi-course meals, ensuring that every dining experience is part of the adventure.
Caribbean Adventures: Seven Nights of Exploration
Star of the Seas offers 7-night itineraries from Port Canaveral, Orlando, taking travelers on journeys through the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Each day combines relaxation with discovery, as families explore turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and carefully curated activities designed to create lifelong memories. One standout highlight is Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in The Bahamas, where sun-drenched beaches, watersports, and adventure activities come together to create a full day of unforgettable family experiences.
The ship also sails to a growing collection of premium destinations. Future adventures include the Royal Beach Club on Paradise Island, the exclusive Cozumel beach experience, the immersive Perfect Day Mexico, and a South Pacific paradise at Lelepa. Each stop is designed to combine natural beauty, adventure, and cultural exploration, ensuring that every moment ashore is as remarkable as the experiences at sea.
