Royal Caribbean is once again redefining what it means to vacation at sea. With the August 2025 debut of Star of the Seas, the second ship in its revolutionary Icon Class, travelers can expect a dazzling mix of cutting-edge entertainment, world-class dining, and unforgettable experiences designed for all ages.

Broadway at Sea & Jaw-Dropping Shows
Headlining the entertainment lineup is none other than Back to the Future: The Musical, making the leap from Broadway to the ocean. Fans of the cult classic can expect an electrifying time-travel adventure set to rock hits, spectacular choreography, and immersive special effects.

For those craving adrenaline, the AquaTheater’s Torque promises a thrilling show blending high divers, slackliners, and synchronized swimmers in a high-tech aquatic spectacle. Ice enthusiasts won’t want to miss SOL at Absolute Zero, the ship’s state-of-the-art ice rink, featuring the largest skating cast Royal Caribbean has ever assembled.

Eight Neighborhoods, Infinite Flavors
With over 40 dining and drinking options, Star of the Seas takes shipboard dining to new heights. Lincoln Park Supper Club in Central Park offers a refined, 1930s Chicago-style multi-course dining journey complete with live jazz. Meanwhile, AquaDome Market, exclusive to the Icon Class, presents a vibrant food hall with five stands serving everything from smoky barbecue to Southeast Asian specialties and South American delights.

Families can enjoy casual bites at Surfside Eatery or adventurous fare at Windjammer, the fleet’s largest buffet, serving up 12 global cuisines daily. For premium pre-show dinners, options include Chops Grille for steak lovers and Izumi Hibachi & Sushi for Japanese flavors.

Nonstop Nightlife and Fun
When the sun goes down, Star’s energy ramps up. Adults can enjoy late-night comedy at The Attic, hit the jackpot at Casino Royale, or sing their hearts out at karaoke. Over 20 bars and lounges invite guests to toast under the stars at Bubbles, sip coffee cocktails at Rye & Bean, or soak in New Orleans vibes at Lou’s.

Sailing the Caribbean & Beyond
Star of the Seas will offer 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean voyages, including calls at Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s top-rated private destination, and, starting December 2025, the new Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in The Bahamas.

With this next chapter, Royal Caribbean solidifies its place at the forefront of cruise innovation, blending thrill, relaxation, and family fun like never before.
