BREVARD COUNTY • PORT CANAVERAL, FLORIDA – She’s here!

The new 248,663-ton Icon Class ship will operate a series of special showcase voyages and be officially named by legendary music icon Diana Ross before launching seven-day eastern and western Caribbean sailings from the Port at the end of this month.

Star of the Seas offers a wide range of exciting amenities, including 40 bars, restaurants, and lounges, and family-friendly features, including the largest water park at sea, an ice skating rink, laser tag, an escape room experience, and expansive play areas for children of all ages.

Among the ship’s more than 2,800 staterooms are several suite options accommodating up to nine guests.
