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 three Icon-class ships by 2026, which will include Icon of the Seas (launched in 2024), Star of the Seas (planned to launch in 2025), and an unnamed third ship (planned to launch in 2026).
