Have you wondered why you hear about the newest largest cruise ship in the world every so often? That's because Royal Caribbean constantly strives to outdo themselves, breaking their own record for the largest cruise ship at sea.

Even if you've previously sailed on a similar ship, once the newest one launches, you can no longer say that you've sailed on the largest. For instance, if you cruised onboard Symphony of the Seas in 2019, once Wonder launched in 2022 and stole the title, you would have no longer been on the biggest ship in the world, even if you were at the time.

Those determined to sail on the latest and greatest are intrigued by what new modifications Royal to each new ship in their fleet. Of course, Icon of the Seas was a completely different ballgame. As the first ship in the long-awaited Icon Class, she's unlike anything that's ever been built before.
