Royal Caribbean International has recorded its single largest booking day in its 53-year history.
The strong demand comes as Icon of the Seas, the highly anticipated ship opened for bookings ahead of its January 2024 debut.
Dubbed the ultimate family vacation, the mega ship will feature the largest waterpark at sea, a 155ft waterfall inside a vast geodesic dome, the world’s first swim-up bar at sea and an infinity pool suspended over the ocean. Recently, the ships first voyage sold out in just 24 hours.
“This has been a year for the books at Royal Caribbean International, from the full return of our 26 ships to the first look at Icon of the Seas, the best family vacation in the world,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.
“Every milestone met is an accomplishment achieved, it’s a wonderful start to 2023 and we are excited for what lies ahead. We could not have reached this point without our loyal guests, valued travel advisors and partners, and the Royal Caribbean International team around the world.”
The announcement of the newest records are celebrated along with a series of major, recent milestones for the brand, including the reveal of Icon as the first-of-its-kind combination of the best of every vacation and the arrival of Wonder of the Seas, the world’s newest wonder, into its year-round home of Port Canaveral, Florida.
More about Icon and the cruise line’s new adventures across ships and private destinations will be revealed in the coming months.
