After seeing all the new things Royal Caribbean has planned for its next new cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, you might want to know more about the cabins.

Icon of the Seas sunset suite

Icon of the Seas will offer guests a variety of room options spanning across 28 unique categories, offering some of the most spacious rooms Royal Caribbean has ever designed. 

There are new categories of cabins, new neighborhoods, and views never offered before on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship.

New cruise ship categories

Over 50% of Icon’s room types are new to the cruise line, including 8 new Suite categories and rooms designed specifically with families in mind. More than 82% of all rooms onboard Icon of the Seas will accommodate 3 or more guests, opening a broad array of accommodation options for families.

More than 70% of all rooms onboard Icon of the Seas will have balconies. You will find 82% of rooms have a high occupancy of 3 or more guests, which is more than double the Oasis Class ships.

There are 2805 total staterooms on Icon of the Seas:

  • 179 suites
  • 1815 balcony staterooms
  • 276 ocean view staterooms
  • 535 interior staterooms

Here is a breakdown of the types of cabins available on Icon of the Seas.

One interesting fact is Royal Caribbean has increased the size of the shower in every stateroom across the ship. Royal Caribbean also added an integrated bench to every standard shower, which means it's part of the shower and does not fold up or down.
