Icon of the Seas Sets Booking Record for RCI

Royal Caribbean International saw its single largest booking day in its 53-year history when reservations opened for the cruise line's first Icon Class ship.

The first Icon Class ship is scheduled to be delivered in late 2023 ahead of a January 24 debut and made headlines last week when it was unveiled as the first of its kind combination of the best of every vacation.

"The enthusiasm and excitement for Icon are undeniable in more ways than one," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. "The incredible response we have received from our loyal guests, vacationers new to cruising, crew members and travel partners continues to come in, and this is just the beginning. We can't wait to share more of what Icon has in store in the coming months."

Bookings opened on October 25. Icon will sail year-round, 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean vacations from Miami. Every cruise will visit Royal Caribbean's top-rated private island destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, The Bahamas, and a mix of destinations like Cozumel, Mexico; Philipsburg, St. Maarten; and Basseterre, St. Kitts.
