IT’S the biggest cruise ship the world has ever seen, and next year it’ll make history when it sets sail from Florida to the Caribbean.
Having cost an estimated £1.5billion to build, the magnificent Icon of the Seas is 20 decks high and weighs a staggering 250,800 gross tons – five times the size of the Titanic.
The Royal Caribbean’s magnificent vessel boasts the world’s largest water park at sea as well as the biggest swim-up bar, where guests can sip on luxurious Champagne or hand-crafted cocktails.
It also features the world’s first suspended infinity pool at sea, with floating sun loungers and jaw-dropping ocean views from eight storeys up.
For families there are seven other pools, a child-friendly aqua park, nine whirlpools, a mini-golf course, ice rink, arcade and 40 bars and restaurants including a karaoke bar.
