The Icon of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship, drew as much criticism as excitement when Royal Caribbean launched it earlier this year, but the ship has been a hit among cruise-goers. Now the cruise line is adding to its fleet of megaships.

The company already has two Icon Class ships on order — Star of the Seas, which is slated to launch in 2025, and a third ship that has not yet been named but is scheduled to be delivered in 2026. It now has plans to order a fourth ship, set for a 2027 launch, with options for a fifth and sixth.

The 250,800-ton Icon of the Seas, which can carry nearly 8,000 people, is packed with amenities that include a 55-foot waterfall, six waterslides, and more than 40 restaurants, bars and entertainment venues. — The New York Times
