On Icon of the Seas, every type of family and traveler—friends, couples and more—will find different thrills, ways to chill and bars and restaurants in order to create their ideal vacation. That even includes your home base—your room, where you can kick back and look forward to the next day of adventures.
There are 28 different types of rooms on Icon, including all-new categories like those with prime views of every sunset and those that have layouts designed just for families. Think: Spaces for adults and kids to hang out together or on their own, additional storage, TV streaming, controlling the lighting and temperature with your phone, convertible balconies that give you more flexibility to enjoy the space and views and more rooms for groups of three, four, five and more.
With choices spanning sizes, layouts, locations and views, you can have your pick based on your style and who you’re with.
Fun fact: Icon had the longest timeframe Royal Caribbean has ever dedicated to designing rooms—from research to design and construction, every detail was scrutinized to create more categories for families, more layouts with ocean views and more space for different-sized groups. Check out this video to learn about everything that went into creating Icon’s next-level accommodations.
Find the perfect place to hang back with your crew with this guide to the different staterooms on Icon:
The three-story Ultimate Family Townhouse is the most wow-worthy stateroom to date with an in-suite slide, cinema and karaoke space and a private outdoor whirlpool.
Ultimate Family Townhouse
This two-bedroom, three-level suite, which sleeps eight, is the most epic family hideaway yet. Everything about Royal Caribbean’s signature Ultimate Family Suite has been taken to the next level, with more room to stay and play. Kids and adults alike will love this imaginative new home away from home that’s debuting on Icon, thanks to made-for-family features and amenities like an in-suite slide; table tennis; areas to watch movies, sing karaoke and play video games; a second private wraparound balcony with a whirlpool and much more. The Townhouse also has its own mailbox and personal patio that boasts a private entrance to the Surfside neighborhood.
Pro tip: This suite comes with a Royal Genie, your very own expert who will make any of your vacation dreams a reality.
After a long day of fun, kids will love ending the night in their own alcove, complete with bunk beds and TVs.
Family Infinite Balcony
Do you want to spend quality time as a family and also find some “me time?” The beauty of a first-of-its-kind vacation like Icon is you can do just that every day across eight neighborhoods and even in a room like the Family Infinite Balcony, which is where families of up to six can truly have it all. This room’s spacious design includes a separate alcove for kids that’s decked out with TVs and bunk beds, as well as a split bathroom, with a shower and a sink on one side and a toilet and sink on the other, so that more people can get ready at once. And what’s more, an Infinite Balcony means even more space and flexibility as the push of a button will transform your outdoor oasis into extra living space.
Spacious Infinite Balcony Rooms have balconies that can become an indoor or outdoor space at the push of a button.
Spacious Infinite Balcony Rooms
Infinite Balconies are new to Royal Caribbean, and their claim to fame is their flexibility. You can maximize your space with a single push of a button, which will transform part of your interior living area into a breezy outdoor balcony. And if you’d rather cool off with the air from your AC, you can simply push the button again to close up the balcony and enjoy that extra room indoors. Another perk? You have more than one view to choose from. Pick from ocean views or Central Park views, where you’ll be able to overlook the open-air neighborhood filled with thousands of real plants, walking paths, restaurants and more.
Surfside Family Suites offer up a unique living room by day and a nook for the kids by night.
Surfside Family View Interiors, Balconies and Suites
Nestled in the one-of-a-kind Surfside, the first neighborhood designed for young families, are the exciting Surfside Family View interiors, balconies and suites. The whole family will love having their own neighborhood to explore, with thrills like Splashaway Bay and Baby Bay aqua parks for the little ones and Water’s Edge for adults and older kids. The rooms, which are perfect for a family of up to four, will have children of any age and their parents feeling comfortable as can be. The rooms and suites even have a separate space that transforms from a living room into a kids’ nook that’ll make nighttime play feel extra special. They also come with a split bathroom!
Fun fact: Surfside is where young families can stay and play all day. Everything is at your fingertips, from a beach-themed carousel to a fun-filled arcade. Guests of all ages will enjoy the many eateries—like The Lemon Post bar with menus for adults and kids—and activities like lively family festivals.
The floor-to-ceiling windows in the Panoramic Ocean View rooms and suites bring the ocean waves right to your room.
Panoramic Ocean View Rooms and Suites
Perched high up on Icon is the new AquaDome, a transformational neighborhood where you can catch both 220-degree ocean views and deck-defying shows at the next-level AquaTheater. Thanks to the hundreds of glass panels that make up the neighborhood, there are new rooms and suites you can call your home away from home that have equally jaw-dropping views.
Fun fact: Icon’s AquaDome offers plenty of nightlife activities, from trying out coffee-infused cocktails at Rye & Bean to watching aerial performers fly around the enormous, shapeshifting waterfall.
Sunset Suites—which are available in several layouts—make the sunset the star of every day onboard.
The Sunset Suites
What says “vacation” more than enjoying a sunset over the ocean with a cocktail in hand? The new lineup of Sunset Suites on Icon makes, you guessed it, watching the sun go down from a prime spot an everyday thing. After a day of adventures, enjoy your front-row seat to nature’s most incredible show from the comfort of your bed, which faces the ocean or balcony—Sunset Corner Suites even have a wraparound balcony.
Pro tip: A Royal Suite Class accommodation like this one means that you get a bunch of perks, like a Royal Genie and priority access everywhere on board.
The Suite Sun Deck in the Suite Neighborhood has a plunge pool, bar and endless ocean views.
Of course, plenty of beloved favorites will make their return on Icon—and even better than before. The new Suite Neighborhood, for example, takes upscale even higher. Only for Suite guests, it features a two-story sun deck with a private pool and hot tub, as well as two exclusive restaurants—the casual Coastal Kitchen and the Mediterranean-inspired The Grove. Whatever your style and however you like to spend your vacations, there’s a room that’s right for you to start and end your days of adventures
