| FEATURE | INTERIOR | OCEAN VIEW | BALCONY | SUITE |

When selecting your stateroom on Icon of the Seas, think about how you’ll actually spend time on board. If you plan to be out exploring and just need a comfortable place to recharge, an Interior Room offers great value. If natural light and ocean scenery matter to you but you don’t need outdoor space, an Ocean View is a nice middle ground. Love sipping coffee with sea breezes or getting a private viewing of the sunset? A Balcony Room is worth the upgrade. And if space, premium amenities and exclusive perks are part of your vacation vision, a Suite delivers the most elevated experience — especially for larger families or special occasions.
This two-bedroom, three-level suite, which sleeps eight, is the most epic family hideaway yet. Everything about the Royal Caribbean signature Ultimate Family Suite® has been taken to the next level, with more room to stay and play. Kids and adults alike will love this imaginative new home away from home on Icon of the Seas, thanks to made-for-family features and amenities like an in-suite slide, table tennis, areas to watch movies, sing karaoke and play video games, a second private wraparound balcony with a whirlpool and much more. The Ultimate Family Townhouse also has its own mailbox and personal patio that boasts a private entrance to the Surfside neighborhood.
Pro tip: This suite comes with a Royal Genie, your very own expert who will make any of your vacation dreams a reality.
Do you want to spend quality time as a family and also find some me time? The beauty of a first-of-its-kind cruise ship like Icon of the Seas is that you can do just that every day. The Family Infinite Balcony is where families of up to six can truly have it all. This room’s spacious design includes a separate alcove for kids that’s decked out with TVs and bunk beds. It also boasts a split bathroom, with a shower and sink on one side and a toilet and sink on the other, so more people can get ready at once. And what’s more, an Infinite Balcony means even more space and flexibility, as the push of a button will transform your outdoor retreat into extra living space.
An Infinite Balcony’s claim to fame is its flexibility. You can maximize your space with a single push of a button, which will transform part of your interior living area into a breezy outdoor balcony. And if you’d rather cool off with your AC, you can simply push the button again to close up the balcony and enjoy that extra room indoors.
Another perk? You have more than one view to choose from. Pick from ocean views or Central Park® views, where you’ll be able to overlook the open-air neighborhood filled with thousands of real plants, walking paths, restaurants and more.
Nestled in the one-of-a-kind Surfside, the first neighborhood designed for young families, are the exciting Surfside Family View interiors, balconies and suites. The whole family will love having their own neighborhood to explore, with thrills like Splashaway Bay℠ and Baby Bay aqua parks for the little ones and Water’s Edge for adults and older kids. The Icon of the Seas rooms, which are perfect for a family of up to four, will have children of any age and their parents feeling as comfortable as can be. The rooms and suites even have a separate space that transforms from a living room into a kids’ nook to help nighttime play feel extra special. They also come with a split bathroom!
Fun fact: Surfside is where young families can stay and play all day. Everything is at your fingertips, from a beach-themed carousel to a fun-filled arcade. Guests of all ages will enjoy the many eateries — like The Lemon Post® Bar with menus for adults and kids — and activities like lively family festivals.
Perched high up on Icon of the Seas is AquaDome, a transformational neighborhood where you can catch both 220-degree ocean views and deck-defying shows at the next-level AquaTheater. Thanks to the hundreds of glass panels that make up the neighborhood, there are rooms and suites you can call your home away from home with equally jaw-dropping views.
Fun fact: The Icon of the Seas AquaDome offers plenty of nightlife activities, from trying out coffee-infused cocktails at Rye & Bean® to watching aerial performers fly around the enormous, shapeshifting waterfall.
What says “vacation” more than enjoying a sunset over the ocean with a cocktail in hand? The lineup of Sunset Suites on Icon of the Seas makes watching the sun go down from a prime spot an everyday thing. After a day of adventures, enjoy your front-row seat to nature’s most incredible show from the comfort of your bed, which faces the ocean or balcony. Sunset Corner Suites even have a wraparound balcony, adding an extra-special feature to an already amazing space.
Of course, plenty of beloved favorites will make their return on Icon of the Seas — and even better than before. The Suite Neighborhood, for example, takes upscale even higher. Only for Suite guests, it features a two-story sun deck with a private pool and hot tub, as well as two exclusive restaurants — the casual Coastal Kitchen and the Mediterranean-inspired The Grove®.
