Imagine a vacation where every member of your crew finds their ultimate escape. Star of the Seas delivers with a lineup that's truly larger than life:
Mind-blowing Thrills: For the adventure seekers, prepare for heart-pounding experiences. Take on Pressure Drop℠, the first drop slide at sea, or challenge yourself on Crown’s Edge℠, suspended 154 feet above the ocean. And don't miss the pulse-pounding stunt shows at the AquaTheater! The ship's Category 6 waterpark boasts six total waterslides, guaranteeing a rush for all ages.
Non-Stop Chill: Prefer to unwind? Star of the Seas has you covered with 7 wow-worthy pools and 10 whirlpools. Soak up majestic views at The Hideaway with the only suspended infinity pool at sea, or wade your way to Swim & Tonic℠ for a refreshing cocktail. The Surfside neighborhood is designed for families to play and relax, complete with the The Lemon Post℠ bar. Adults can also enjoy the exclusive Cloud 17 retreat.
Next-Level WOWs: Beyond the pools and slides, the ship is brimming with entertainment. Witness incredible aerial acrobats at the AquaTheater. Star of the Seas will even feature a remounting of the smash hit "Back to the Future: The Musical" in the Royal Theater, along with other captivating productions like "Create," "Pirates & Mermaids," and "Torque." And for an icy spectacle, "SOL" will dazzle in Absolute Zero, featuring the brand’s largest-ever ice cast.
Crave-Worthy Bites: With more than 40 places to dine and drink, your taste buds are in for a treat. Indulge in a gourmet meal with live jazz at the Lincoln Park Supper Club℠ (a 1930s Chicago-style, multi-course experience). Enjoy family favorites at Surfside Eatery℠, or explore new food hall stalls at the AquaDome Market serving everything from pulled pork to Southeast Asian and South American dishes. Returning favorites like Chops Grille, Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, and Basecamp will also be on board.
Over the Top Stays: From spacious family suites to luxurious retreats, Star of the Seas offers accommodations designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation, ensuring everyone has their perfect home away from home.
Your Vacation Goals Start Here
Star of the Seas℠ will embark on exciting Eastern and Western Caribbean adventures, with stops at vibrant destinations like San Juan, St. Kitts, Cozumel, Philipsburg, St. Maarten, and Roatan, Honduras. And here’s the best part: every itinerary will include a visit to Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas!
Just like its sister ship, the record-breaking Icon of the Seas, Star of the Seas will feature eight distinct "neighborhoods" to explore, including Thrill Island, Chill Island, AquaDome, and Central Park.
Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, sums it up perfectly: “The idea of combining the best of every type of vacation into one ultimate adventure has created more excitement than ever anticipated, and Star of the Seas will be the next bold answer to the record-breaking consumer demand we’ve seen for nearly a year and counting with Icon of the Seas.”
