Star of the Seas: the second Icon-class ship, sailing from Port Canaveral
Star of the Seas is the second ship in Royal Caribbean's Icon class, after Icon of the Seas. She took her first guests in August 2025 and sails from Port Canaveral, Florida, on short Bahamas trips and week-long Caribbean itineraries. Every sailing calls at Perfect Day at CocoCay. She has the same eight-neighborhood layout as Icon, including the Thrill Island waterpark and the AquaDome.
Who this ship suits
Star suits families who want an Icon-class ship without flying to Miami, and those who want to pair a cruise with time in Orlando. The short sailings also suit first-time cruisers who want to try a very large ship for a long weekend before committing to a week.
She is the wrong choice if you want a varied itinerary. Every sailing includes Perfect Day at CocoCay, so a short trip is mostly ship and private island. She is also a poor match for travelers who want a quiet ship. She is built for families and stays busy all day.
The ship itself
Star is the second ship in the Icon class. Icon of the Seas came first, and Legend of the Seas, which debuted in 2026, is the third. Utopia of the Seas, which also sails from Port Canaveral, is an older Oasis-class design, not a sister of this ship.
Star floated out at the Meyer Turku yard in Finland in October 2024 and her first guests sailed on August 16, 2025. She shares Icon's 250,800-gross-ton hull and its eight neighborhoods: Thrill Island with the Category 6 waterpark, Chill Island's pool deck, Surfside for young families, the adults-only Hideaway, the AquaDome, Central Park, the Royal Promenade, and the Suite Neighborhood. If you have sailed Icon, the layout will be familiar.
Families and kids
Surfside is the family neighborhood. It has Splashaway Bay for water play and the Water's Edge pool, where adults can keep an eye on their children. Older children and teenagers head for Thrill Island's slides, which have height minimums. Check those before you set expectations with a younger child.
We have not verified this ship's kids'-club age bands, so this page does not state them. Check them with Royal Caribbean before you book.
What to know before you book
- Star and Utopia both sail from Port Canaveral on short trips. They are different classes of ship: Star has the Icon-class waterpark, AquaDome and Surfside, and Utopia does not. Compare them by ship, not just by date and price.
- On a three-night sailing you will not get to everything on board. Book the specialty dining and paid activities you care about before you sail.
- We do not yet have verified accessible-cabin counts or locations for this ship. Ask Royal Caribbean's accessibility team before booking.
