Picture this: you’re sailing on a floating city, surrounded by the endless blue of the ocean, the warm sun kissing your skin, and the gentle sea breeze rustling through your hair. Sounds dreamy, right? Now, let’s up the ante on this… Pair that with the largest waterpark at sea, over 40 dining options, and superhuman stunt-filled performances. What have you got? Well, it’s Royal Caribbean‘s newest marvel, the Star of the Seas. The name alone evokes visions of adventure, luxury, and an unforgettable journey. But trust me, the reality is going to be even better!
Introducing… Star of the Seas
Royal Caribbean has always been known for pushing the boundaries of what’s possible at sea, and the Star of the Seas is no exception. This ship isn’t just a vessel; it’s a destination in itself. Launched as the latest in Royal Caribbean’s Icon Class, the Star of the Seas is a 250,000-ton playground of wonder and excitement, packed with innovations that will leave you in awe.
From the moment you step onboard, you’re greeted by the vibrant energy of the ship. The sheer scale of it is mind-blowing—imagine a towering atrium that’s a spectacle of glass and light, with lush greenery cascading from above, creating an oasis-like atmosphere that immediately makes you feel like you’re in another world.
A Gastronomic Adventure
If you’re a foodie, brace yourself for a culinary adventure like no other. The Star of the Seas boasts over 40 dining options, each one more enticing than the last. Fancy some sushi? Head to Izumi for a fusion of traditional and contemporary Japanese dishes. Craving a juicy steak? Chops Grille serves up premium cuts grilled to perfection. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, the Sugar Beach candy store will make you feel like a kid again with its walls lined with every candy imaginable.
And let’s not forget the dining experiences that truly push the envelope—like dining underwater at AquaDome, where the walls of the restaurant are massive aquariums, offering a breathtaking view of marine life as you enjoy a gourmet meal.
Endless Entertainment onboard Star of the Seas
When it comes to entertainment, the Star of the Seas doesn’t just raise the bar; it launches it into the stratosphere! Get ready to be dazzled by the AquaTheater shows, where world-class performers execute jaw-dropping acrobatics, synchronized swimming, and high-dives—all against the backdrop of the open sea. Or, if you’re a fan of Broadway, you’re in for a treat with spectacular productions that rival anything you’d see on land.
The fun doesn’t stop there. The ship’s Surfside Water Park is a paradise for thrill-seekers of all ages, with towering slides, a surf simulator, and a lazy river for when you just want to relax. And speaking of relaxing, the Vitality Spa offers a serene escape with indulgent treatments that will melt your stress away.
Suites Fit for Royalty
After a day packed with adventure, retreat to your stateroom—scratch that, your sanctuary. The Star of the Seas offers a variety of accommodations, but the Star Class Suites are the epitome of luxury. Imagine waking up to panoramic ocean views, enjoying personalised service from your own Royal Genie (yes, that’s a real thing!), and having exclusive access to the Suite Club where you can unwind in style.
Is Star of the Seas different to Icon or Utopia of the Seas?
Well, kinda. Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas, Icon of the Seas, and Utopia of the Seas are all part of the cruise line’s latest class of ships, Icon Class. And whilst they’re all technically identical, there’s one big change for Star of the Seas, and that’s the dining; Icon of the Seas will have 40+ dining venues, whilst Star of the Seas will have 68 dining venues – incredible.
