Reach for the sky at Cloud 17℠, an open-air sanctuary with ocean views that are high above ordinary. Tucked away on the top deck, this adults-only oasis achieves a new stratosphere of chic with a secluded pool, cantilevered whirlpool, and private access to The Lime and Coconut® bar. With applications ranging from waste heat recovery systems to shore power connection, Royal Caribbean’s most sustainable ship will advance parent company Royal Caribbean Group’s journey to introducing a net-zero cruise ship by 2035. Each of RCI's ICON ships has a powerplant based on six Wartsila marine engines (dual fuel) running on both diesel and LNG/liquified natural gas. The ship also has installed hydrogen-based fuel cell technology using seawater to generate electricity and fresh water. Following Icon OTS, Star OTS is RCI's second vessel to have this technology.
Neighborhoods
Surfside will provide age-appropriate splash areas and family-friendly dining options. Cruise ships' cabins are modular (prefabricated and later assembled at the shipyard) and made by the subsidiary Piikkio Works Oy, which has a factory in Piikkio Finland (approx 20 km / 13 mi to the east of Turku). Cruise ships' public spaces are also prefabricated (and later drydock-assembled) and made by the subsidiary Shipbuilding Completion Oy (in Turku). Technology design and engineering services are provided by the company ENGnD Oy (Rauma Finland). Before the new ships' debut, testing of fuel cell technology began on the existing OASIS-class vessels, while larger fuel cell projects were tested on QUANTUM-class units (while under construction). The 2-level Fitness Center (decks 5-6) consists of a Gymnasium (complimentary, with Life Fitness equipment for cardio/resistance training), Aerobics Studio (for classes), and private training rooms.

NEXT-LEVEL CHILLS
In front of the lifts, there are digital panels to select which deck to go to and which lift to take. Inside the elevators there are no panels/buttons to push, meaning fewer stops on every floor. The boat has 19 decks, of which 18 are passenger-accessible and 12 with cabins. "Panoramic Ocean View" cabins and suites are in the AquaDome Neighborhood and all are with floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall windows. Family Infinite Ocean View Balcony rooms are a kid’s dream, with a separate hideaway bunk space that gives them their own beds, TVs, and space to chill. Star of the Seas is scheduled to arrive next year, with the ship's maiden voyage -- an 11-day roundtrip from Barcelona -- scheduled for Sept. 25, 2025.
Crew Neighborhood (staff and crew cabins and facilities)
Stay tuned as we reveal all-new adventures coming to Star of the Seas℠ – such as experiences just for kids and teens, mind-blowing entertainment and the most immersive culinary journey at sea. Floating in mid-air eight storeys up, the Hideaway Pool is no mirage – it’s an engineering marvel like nothing you've ever swum in before. Perfectly perched in the centre of the Hideaway neighbourhood with a resident DJ and full-sized daybeds surrounded by water, it's the ultimate spot for beach club vibes. Delivery date represents when the ship would be handed over from the shipyard to the cruise line, but that is not when the ship is ready to enter service. The laying of the keel means a crane lowered a massive steel block to the bottom of the construction pool on trestles to signal the start of assembling the ship's hull. Royal Caribbean has not announced many details about Star of the Seas, such as what will make this ship different than Icon of the Seas.
Royal Caribbean has not posted any details yet of what will make Star of the Seas different from Icon of the Seas, but typically Royal Caribbean changes certain venues and introduces new concepts on subsequent ships that it's likely the ship will not be a direct copy of Icon. Royal Caribbean on Tuesday began taking reservations for Star of the Seas, which will be the second in a new type of vessels that are aimed at dominating the family vacation market. The first sailings of the second Icon Class cruise ship are now available for booking. Royal Caribbean uses dynamic pricing, which means the pricing for many things will vary per sailing. The daily gratuities and tip are consistent across the fleet, but the pricing for the drink package, internet, and excursions will change. The only way to know your price is to consult the Royal Caribbean cruise planner once you're booked.
Previously, Royal Caribbean had only revealed the ship would debut sometime in 2025. Royal Caribbean has provided no hints yet regarding where Star of the Seas will be deployed following her launch. Star of the Seas is also expected to build on the strong demand generated by the first-in-class Icon of the Seas. In October 2022, Icon spearheaded the single largest booking day and highest volume booking week in the cruise line’s history. Positioned above the Wheelhouse, this is an AquaTheater (redesigned concept but) similar to OASIS- and QUANTUM ships' Solarium. The glass roof structure/dome weighs 367 tons and is comprised of 12 modules made of different materials (glass, steel, aluminum panels).

Meyer Turku also constructed RCI's boats Oasis OTS (2009) and Allure OTS (2010). There is also a Messhall (multipurpose room/entertainment venue) where can be hosted crew training sessions as well as celebrations and dance parties. Destination elevators allow passengers to more efficiently move between decks for reduced crowding and better passenger flow.

However, due to construction delays, the inauguration was postponed and the Maiden Voyage (Aug 17th) canceled and rescheduled for Aug 31st. Star Of The Seas itinerary program (Maiden Voyage's date) was revealed on December 6, 2023, when the ship's inaugural season was open for booking. For detailed information on the RCI's ICON ships as technologies see the ship's Wiki page. The suites are in categories (high to low grade) Family Townhouse, Royal Loft, Icon Loft, Owner's, Infinite Grand, Grand, Sunset Corner, Surfside Family, Sunset, Junior, and Panoramic (with windows). "Surfside Family Suite" is in the Surfside Neighborhood, accommodates 4 people, has a separate kids' bedroom (convertible into a lounge room) and its occupants receive Royal Suite Class perks. Star of the Seas will be 250,800 gross tons and carry 5,610 passengers with 2,350 crew.
Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas Will Also Have a Chief Dog Officer
Liquefied natural gas was envisioned as the primary fuel for the ICON-class ships, which decreases CO2 (carbon dioxide) and completely eliminates soot particles, nitrogen oxide (NOX), and sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions. On Royal Caribbean's ICON ships was introduced fuel cell technology, which combined with hull air lubrication means the vessels are among the most fuel-efficient ever built. Also new are the crew-only Beauty Salon (hairstyling and barber services), Store, Game Room, and Gym.
Currently under construction at the giant Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland, Icon of the Seas will have her first sailing begin in January 2024. The cruise line saw the single largest booking day and highest volume booking week in its history when Icon was first revealed in October 2022. Star of the Seas was one of four ship names the cruise line put up for a vote on social media back in January of 2023. Other names included Idol of the Seas, Love of the Seas, and Queen of the Seas. The cruise line announced on Thursday that the name of its next Icon Class ship to launch will be called Star of the Seas.
Both Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas are ships that were designed to cater to families, and placing Star of the Seas in Port Canaveral is another move to provide a compelling alternative to a theme park trip. The very first sailing of Star of the Seas available for booking is scheduled for August 17, 2025. As of early Tuesday, the least-expensive cabin price was starting at $2398 per person for an inside cabin guarantee, or $5,081.58 total.
(Deck 15/forward) AquaDome Neighborhood is fully covered by a glass dome (transparent roof with unobstructed 220-degree outside views via floor-ceiling/wall-to-wall windows). AquaDome features the largest-at-sea waterfall (transforming in the evenings into AquaTheater) which waters fall right from the ceiling. During the day, AquaDome serves as a relaxation complex with a serene ambiance and various food and beverage options (restaurants and bars). In the evening, AquaDome transforms into a "nightlife zone" housing RCI's signature entertainment venue AquaTheater (redesigned, smaller-sized and indoor/glass-covered on ICON ships) hosting high-diving aquatic and aerial acrobatic shows.

Securities and Exchange Commission, delivery of the ship from shipyard to cruise line should take place in the second quarter of 2025.
Royal Caribbean actually opened bookings up three months early for more Icon of the Seas cruises through 2026 due to how well-booked the ship is at the moment. We now know the name of the second Icon Class ship, but construction has been underway for a while now. The decision of picking a ship name is not a simple one, as Royal Caribbean often considers dozens of names before settling on one.
On June 15, 2022, RCG signed with Eagle LNG Partners LLC (Eagle LNG) a contract for providing LNG (liquefied natural gas) and bunkering services to RCI liners (the first being Icon OTS). The gas supply is sourced from Eagle LNG's facilities in JAXPORT-Jacksonville Florida, shipped throughout the Caribbean and bunkered by Eagle LNG-owned newbuild vessels. The Pearl (a huge white sphere positioned midship on top deck) weighs 175 tonnes, has diameter 50 ft (15,2 m), height 46 ft (14 m) and consists of 578 aluminum panels. In October 2023 was extended the 2019-signed contract with SOMEC Group's subsidiary SOMEC Navale(1995-founded, Italian company).
