Our Agency’s Favorite Thrills on Icon of the Seas

Our agency was fortunate to be one of the first to sail on Royal Caribbean®’s Icon of the SeasSM, the largest cruise ship in the world. On our January 2024 sailing, we were able to experience everything this amazing, record-breaking ship has to offer. Keep reading to discover our agency’s favorite thrills on The Icon of VacationsSM.

Thrill Island

Thrill Island

Where better to start than the epicenter of onboard adventure, Thrill Island? Icon of the Seas has eight unique neighborhoods, and all the best action is at Thrill Island. Here, you’ll find 360 degrees of activities, from the 40-foot Adrenaline PeakSM rock-climbing wall and the most mind-bending mini-golf course ever, Lost DunesSM, to the classic surf simulator and little something we like to call the largest waterpark at sea. More on that one next.

Category 6

Exclusively on Icon of the Seas, Category 6 is home to six twisting, turning, record-breaking slides. We tried them all (multiple times!), from the tallest drop slide at sea where we plummeted 46 feet to the first family raft slide at sea, though our favorite was Pressure Drop. On this first open freefall slide at sea, we stared down an impossibly steep incline before gravity yanked us into a near-vertical slide with an epic splashdown. It was fast. It was wild. It was awesome.

 

Crown’s EdgeSM

Exclusively on Icon of the Seas is the Crown’s Edge, a daring challenge that combines a skywalk with a ropes course high above the ocean. After being fastened into safety gear, you step onto a walkway that takes you 154 feet above the ocean. This feature is not included in your cruise fare, but it’s totally worth it. Not only will you enjoy a thrilling and daring experience you’ll remember forever, but you will also get a video of your experience to share with your friends, family and followers.

Flowrider

FlowRider®

FlowRider is a classic Royal Caribbean experience. This top-deck surf simulator debuted on Freedom of the Seas in 2006 and has since been an integral part of every ship since. Grab your board and see how you do as 30,000 gallons of water comes rushing at you. Do you have what it takes to carve like a pro — or just stay upright? Either way, it’s a blast to try.

Surfside neighborhood

SurfsideSM

Thrills come in all shapes and sizes, just like passengers. For kids — both little and big, along with their parents — the new Surfside neighborhood has thrills aplenty. It’s got kid-approved waterslides and a sprawling aquapark, a pool and bar for grownups, a climbable Playscape area, an arcade packed with fun and plenty of dining options that will make the pickiest eater squeal with joy.

  

The best way to experience all these thrills on Icon of the SeasSM yourself is with the help of a trusted travel agent. Our agency knows Royal Caribbean well, so we can give you real-world advice and vacation-enhancing insights. Contact us today to start planning your Icon of Vacations.
