The Icon of the Seas, the biggest cruise ship in the world, is finally here.
A clip of the ship approaching the port of Miami went viral, and it’s even more impressive than we thought.
Check it out in the clip down below!

The first thing that stands out is the sheer size.
It’s massive and looks like a city moving on water.
It has a gross tonnage of 250,800, making the Icon of the Seas five times larger than the Titanic.
Here’s another figure that blows our mind: it’s nearly one mile long.
Royal Caribbean says the ship is large enough to accommodate 5,600 passengers and 2,350 crew members.
And that’s the other thing that stands out from the video.
If you squint, you can see thousands of crew members waving tiny red flags as the ship approaches the port of Miami.

The company also added that the ship will feature everything you possibly can imagine, “from the resort getaway to the beach escape and theme park adventure”.
It even features the world’s largest waterpark at sea, and seven swimming pools in total.
In addition to this, Icon of the Seas will offer “more than 40 ways to dine, drink and be entertained”.
The ship’s maiden voyage is just weeks away.

The company has already said they intend to build two sister ships by 2026.
And the price?
This may be the world’s biggest cruise ship, but it isn’t the most expensive.
That particular title current belongs to the Regent Seven Seas Mariner – the world’s first all-suite ship.
The least expensive trip available on the Mariner starts at – wait for it – $100,000.
People are even living onboard cruise ships now, with a couple living out their dream life after selling their home and buying a $2.5 million cabin.
What’s more, a Meta employee bought a six-figure apartment on a cruise ship so he can work from home whilst exploring the world.

As for the Icon of the Seas, the biggest cruise ship, the price is surprisingly a lot more reasonable.
The cheapest seven-day cruise you can book starts at $1,700 and it’ll take you to the Bahamas, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.
Even the most expensive one is still sort of affordable, setting you back $1,900 for a 7-day journey to Mexico, the Bahamas and then back to Miami.
