Royal Caribbean’s "Star of the Seas," which will accommodate some 8,000 passengers when it sets sail next year, has entered its final stages of construction at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland. The 250,800-ton sister of Icon of the Seas is in the final stages of construction. Article gives you an inside look behind the scenes of the shipbuilding process. Like its sister ship, Icon of the Seas — the world’s largest cruise ship — the Star measures 1,196 feet long and towers 20 decks high. Capable of carrying nearly 8,000-passengers, the behemoth is scheduled to launch on Aug. 31, 2025, from Port Canaveral, Fla., and will have many of Icon of the Seas’ features: eight “neighborhoods,” six water slides, seven swimming pools and more than 40 dining, drinking and entertainment venues. Icon of the Seas, which cost $2 billion to build and launched in Miami earlier this year, has been a hit among cruise-goers, despite criticism over its size and potential to harm the environment. While Royal Caribbean does not release booking figures, the company revealed that the ship has exceeded expectations both in terms of guest satisfaction and financial performance; 2025 bookings from July through October have outpaced 2024 levels for the same time period. In response to the demand, the company has started construction on the third Icon Class ship, which will be completed in 2026, and plans to order a fourth for 2027, with options for a fifth and a sixth. “The Icon Class ships we have on order are consistent with these growth plans,” said Jason Liberty, president and chief executive of Royal Caribbean Group. “We are attracting more new customers into our vacation ecosystem, particularly younger demographics.” Business is up across all major cruise lines, and many of them, like Carnival, Norwegian and MSC, are expanding their fleets. Last year, 31.7 million passengers took cruises, an increase from 29.7 million in 2019. This year, that number is expected to reach 34.7 million, according to the Cruise Lines International Association, the industry’s trade group. As of June 2024, there are 430 oceangoing cruise ships in operation and 76 ships on order through 2036, the group reported. #Miami #southflorida #cruiseindustry #RoyalCaribbean
