Royal Caribbean International, the main partner and official vacation partner of Inter Miami, and the Club revealed that the world's largest cruise line will leave its mark on every Inter Miami jersey as the official shirt sponsor, starting from the upcoming 2024 season.

Inter Miami secured Royal Caribbean as its new sponsor, leading to the decision to unveil this year's kit alongside the debut of the company's new ship, the Icon Of the Seas. Amidst the ceremony, featuring speeches from the owners, entertainment shows, and fireworks, the captain of the Argentine National Team played a central role and was the speaker in the closing remarks before the baptism that Messi himself led.

The Inter Miami away uniform was on full display with the bold crown of the cruise line and the anchor logo in celebration of the new and highly anticipated vacation, Icon of the Seas. Hosted by four-time Emmy award winner Mario Lopez, along with Royal Caribbean and Inter Miami owners and executives, they joined players, staff, and fans in the surprise unveiling. Fans can be among the first to purchase the jersey with the crown and anchor by visiting MLSStore.com, and in February, the jersey will be available for sale at Icon.

"Both Royal Caribbean Group and Inter Miami share the values of dreams and determination, and the incredible moments when those dreams come true. It's exciting to join forces now, and I can't wait for the future that our two organizations will forge for our industries, for our fans worldwide, and, of course, for our local communities here in South Florida," said Royal Caribbean CEO Jason Liberty.

"Today marks a significant moment in an authentic partnership between two South Florida powerhouses, both deeply committed to the community that we proudly call home," said Inter Miami CF Chief Commercial Officer Xavier Asensi. "We eagerly look forward to our players taking the field and showcasing the Royal Caribbean logo on our iconic jerseys in front of our amazing fans at our stadium, across the country, and around the world."

Today's unveiling of the new sponsor on the front of the jersey and the first glimpse of one of the striking kits, inspired by the energy and excitement of Miami nightlife, follows the announcement in August 2023 of the two globally renowned and South Florida-based powerhouses joining forces. The multi-year partnership combines the passion and commitment that local favorites share for the city, its community, and the creation of memorable moments with fans worldwide. On and off the field, the partners have since united in stadium LED lights, match content, fan zone activations, as well as on social and digital platforms. Additionally, more will come to life in local community initiatives, Royal Caribbean ship experiences, and more. Additional details about the partnership will be revealed at a later date.

From one celebration to another, Royal Caribbean also welcomed its new vacation, Icon, in a naming celebration with the icon of Icon of the Seas present: world-renowned football player and TIME's 2023 Athlete of the Year, Lionel Messi. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner officially named and bestowed protection upon the world's best vacations, its dedicated crew, and the adventurers who will experience them for years to come.

Icon is the first of its kind combination for all vacations, from a resort getaway to a beach escape and adventure in a theme park, and the best-selling ship in the cruise line. Making its debut on Saturday, January 27, with six record-breaking water slides, seven pools, the first neighborhood designed for young families, over 40 ways to dine, drink, and entertain; Icon offers a range of experiences for every type of family and tourist to create memories together and embark on their own adventures without compromise.
