Over the past few years, cruise lines have built larger cruise terminals in Miami to accommodate more mega ships. Right now, MSC Cruises is building the largest cruise terminal in the country that will be able process up to 36,000 passengers per day.

Here is a look at the two incredible new mega cruise ships headed to Miami, Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas in 2024 and MSC Cruises’ World America in 2025.

Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas

The cruise ship is so large that it will have over 40 food and beverage options with 23 of them being brand new to Royal Caribbean. It will feature 28 different types of staterooms so everyone can choose the perfect one for them.

Icon of the Seas will be a combination of every class of Royal Caribbean cruise ships. It will bring together the best of everything to create a cruise experience like no other. It will have the largest swimming pool at sea and have more waterslides than any other ship.

Adventurers on Icon of the Seas are in for the ultimate thrill at the largest waterpark at sea, Category 6. Thrill Island’s six record-breaking slides reach new heights: Pressure Drop, the industry’s first open free-fall slide; Frightening Bolt, the tallest drop slide at sea; Storm Surge and Hurricane Hunter, the first family raft slides with four riders per raft; and Storm Chasers, cruising’s first mat-racing duo.

Below is an artist rendering of the revolutionary new AquaDome. This spot at the very front of the ship will be a tranquil oasis by day where guests can take in wraparound ocean views and an awe-inspiring waterfall as they enjoy a bite or drink. By night, it will transform into a vibrant hot spot, complete with restaurants, bars and the cruise line’s marquee aqua shows at the next-level AquaTheater.

Surfside is a new neighborhood from Royal Caribbean and is promising to be the ultimate spot for families to spend their day.

The cruise ship will also feature the cruise line’s signature Central Park that will have more live plants and trees than ever before.

Icon of the Seas will sail seven night cruises Eastern and Western Caribbean from Miami. Every cruise will visit Royal Caribbean’s top-rated private island destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, The Bahamas. You can see exact itineraries and prices here.
