MEET STAR OF THE SEAS

ICON CLASS,
right in our backyard.

Star of the Seas is the second ship in Royal Caribbean’s Icon Class, the largest cruise ships in the world, and it sails year-round from Port Canaveral. It debuted in August 2025 with its naming ceremony right here at the port.

Every week-long sailing includes Perfect Day at CocoCay, and the ship itself is a destination: the Category 6 waterpark, Crown’s Edge, a neighborhood made for little kids, an adults-only infinity pool and Back to the Future: The Musical.

Star alternates Eastern and Western Caribbean routes week to week, so you can choose the islands that fit you best.
