Royal Caribbean takes world’s largest cruise ship, Icon of the Seas, out for its first spin

Royal Caribbean knew its new ship could float, but now the cruise line knows Icon of the Seas can move from point A to point B and back.

The cruise line took Icon of the Seas out for its first sea trials last week venturing out from the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland, where it has been under construction for the last two years.

The 20-deck, 250,800-gross-ton, 1,198-foot-long cruise ship surpasses the size of Oasis-class ships like Wonder of the Seas, and is set to arrive to Miami late this year before it begins sailing with customers in January 2024.
