In the latest episode of Royal Caribbean International’s ‘Making An Icon’ video series, the focus is on the revamped Royal Promenade aboard the world’s next largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas.
In ‘Making an Icon: Creating Royal Promenade,’ you’ll learn about how Royal Promenade, the heartbeat of the line’s ships since 1999, has transformed since its debut. On Icon, the Royal Promenade neighbourhood will feature its first ocean views, thanks to an amazingly engineered, three-story-tall structure.
On Icon of the Seas, your clients will enjoy more than 15 restaurants, bars and lounges, entertainment, activities, dedicated spaces for kids and teens, and more.

Royal Promenade is designed to make the best first impression as soon as guests board. Fusing all-new features and favourites, the reimagined neighbourhood introduces a new level of connectivity that reflects the vibe of a dynamic plaza, across two fully connected decks

The lineup of new experiences includes 1400 Lobby Bar, the new meetup spot for any time of day and the first venue to open up the neighbourhood to the outdoors with an ocean-facing terrace; Dueling Pianos, Royal Caribbean’s first dueling pianos bar; Giovanni's Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar, making its Royal Promenade debut at the center of the action; and The Pearl Cafe, a convenient spot for bites with massive windows and breathtaking ocean views.
Kids, teens, parents, extended family members and beyond also have ways to make memories together from day to night. Highlights include:
· Absolute Zero, Royal Caribbean’s largest and boldest ice arena to date featuring a bigger ice sheet and a new oval shape, is where the whole family can strap on skates or watch show-stopping entertainment.
· Laser Tag: The Fight for Atlantis is where everyone can battle it out, adults can challenge each other or older kids and teens can have at it on their own.
· At Adventure Ocean, Royal Caribbean’s youth program, youngsters can let their imaginations roam free with dedicated spaces and activities that engage all the senses, including a place to tinker at Workshop, Hangout – with games and cozy spots to lounge – AO Babies for the youngest of the bunch and more.
· Social 020, a hidden, teens-only hangout with video games, music, movies and comfy lounging.
“We’ve always spoken about the need to honour tradition, to evolve much of the experiences and to be innovative and revolutionary when you look at Icon. Our loyalists who love all of the traditional elements of Royal Promenade will find it and a lot of innovation,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.
