In February next year, the cruise liner Icon of the Seas will begin its maiden voyage from Miami after construction is completed at the shipyard in Turku (Finland). According to Meyer Turku, this liner has become the world’s largest cruise ship and impresses with its luxury and modernity.

Icon of the Seas has impressive dimensions: it is 365 metres long and weighs 248 655 tonnes. These specifications allow it to carry 7600 passengers and 2350 crew members. This cruise liner will sail under the flag of Panama and will be one of the symbols of luxury holidays.

Icon of the Seas has 20 decks with seven pools and six water slides. The liner boasts unique attractions such as the tallest waterfall at 17 metres, the tallest water slide, the longest water park and the first suspended pool on any cruise ship.

It should be noted that this project resulted from more than seven years of cooperation and 900 days of design and construction involving thousands of experts. It represents an innovative step towards high design, the use of advanced technologies, ensuring safety and reducing energy consumption.

Icon of the Seas is not only the world’s largest liner, but also a symbol of a new stage in the development of cruise tourism, combining luxury and advanced technologies for maximum passenger satisfaction.
