Royal Caribbean has revealed the name of its second Icon class vessel, which is due to launch in summer 2025.

Star of the Seas will follow the launch of the line’s first Icon class ship, Icon of the Seas, which is set to come into operation later this year.

Currently under construction in Turku, Finland, Royal confirmed Star of the Seas and its features will soon be revealed.

The ship is also set to become the cruise line’s third vessel powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), combining the use of the fuel with a lineup of environmental programmes on board.

With applications ranging from waste heat recovery systems to shore power connection, Royal Caribbean’s most sustainable ship will advance parent company Royal Caribbean Group’s journey to introducing a net-zero cruise ship by 2035.

“The idea of combining the best of every type of vacation into one ultimate adventure has created more excitement than ever anticipated, and Star of the Seas will be the next bold answer to the record-breaking consumer demand we’ve seen for nearly a year and counting with Icon of the Seas,” said Royal Caribbean president and CEO Michael Bayley.

Royal said “unprecedented” consumer demand sparked the company to release its 2025-2026 vacations on Icon three months ahead of schedule and now Star’s name and debut season.
