The Icon class (formally Project Icon) is a class of cruise ships ordered by Royal Caribbean International to be built by Meyer Turku in Turku, Finland. As of 2024 this class is the largest cruise ship class ever constructed. Royal Caribbean plans to have at least four Icon-class ships, which will include Icon of the Seas (launched in 2024), Star of the Seas (planned to launch in 2025), unnamed third and fourth ships (planned to launch in 2026 and 2027). It also has an option for two additional ships.
