Royal Caribbean International announced it would open
bookings for seven-night adventures from Miami aboard the
new Icon of the Seas three months ahead of schedule due to record-breaking
demand.
Travelers can book the voyages starting September 13 through
Royal Caribbean’s official website. Crown & Anchor Society loyalty members
can now access the early booking offers.
The cruise line saw the single largest booking day and
highest volume booking week in its history when Icon was first revealed last
October, and Royal Caribbean is answering the unprecedented interest with the
early release of 2025-2026 vacations.
On the seven-night voyages, Icon of the Seas will visit Perfect
Day at CocoCay and new destinations, including Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic,
and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
“Since Icon of the Seas was revealed almost a year ago, the
response has been unprecedented by every measure,” Royal Caribbean President
and CEO Michael Bayley said. “Families and friends are looking for vacations
where everyone can make memories their way without compromise, and that’s what
we set out to create in its best form with Icon more than five years ago.”
“The excitement has only continued to build, making it clear
that we’ve designed a revolutionary experience that reflects how consumers want
to travel today and for years to come,” Bayley continued.
Royal Caribbean highlighted its seven-night adventures from
Miami aboard the new ship:
