And then there were two!
The next iconic adventure is underway as Royal Caribbean International marked the initial milestone – the first cut of steel – for the second ship in the revolutionary Icon Class.
In celebration of the next in the lineup of the world’s best family vacations, a steel-cutting ceremony was held at Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland. The soon-to-be-named ship will set sail in 2025, following the debut of Icon of the Seas in January 2024.
Premiere: #IconoftheSeas makes its debut in under 365 days, along with the brand-new neighborhood, Surfside.

The Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku teams dedicated to building the second Icon Class ship attended the traditional ceremony yesterday. The major milestone represents the official start of production, beginning a series of key moments in the design and construction that spans months and involves thousands of innovators across design, naval engineering, architecture, and more.
Royal Caribbean’s next ship and a third in the Icon Class will join Icon in introducing a new era of vacations for years to come. Each vessel will combine the best of every holiday, from the resort getaway to the beach escape and theme park adventure, where every family member and type of vacationer can make memories together aboard epic ships!
