Icon of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, offers guests a variety of room options spanning 28 unique categories, offering some of the most spacious rooms Royal Caribbean has ever designed.

Over 50% of Icon’s room types are new to the cruise line, including 8 new Suite categories and rooms designed specifically with families in mind.
Plus, more than 82% of all rooms onboard Icon of the Seas will accommodate 3 or more guests, opening a broad array of accommodation options for families, and more than 70% of all rooms will have balconies.
There are 2,805 staterooms on Icon of the Seas:

- 1,815 balcony staterooms
- 276 ocean view staterooms
- 535 interior staterooms
Within each of those categories, there are numerous sub-categories. The 535 interior rooms encompass more than just standard interior rooms, as there are also Interior Plus, Spacious Interior, Central Park View, and Surfside Family View cabins.
Icon of the Seas cabin guide
When planning your vacation on the largest ship in the world, you must consider what stateroom you'd like to make your home away from home for the week.
Your budget may simplify the decision and force you to confine your search to standard staterooms instead of suites. Similarly, you may know off the bat that you're a balcony person, effectively eliminating any interior or ocean view rooms.
To help you select your cabin on Icon of the Seas, we've created a guide that tells you how large each stateroom is, as well as the cabin's occupancy and any fun facts.
Speaking of fun facts, Royal Caribbean increased the size of the shower in every stateroom onboard Icon. They also added an integrated bench to every standard shower, which means it's part of the shower and does not fold up or down.

Icon of the Seas Suites
Icon of the Seas offers the Royal Suite Program. This upgraded suite experience is broken down into three tiers based on which suite you book.
The Sea Tier suites (i.e., Sunset Junior Suites and standard Junior Suites) are the most exclusive, meaning you won't have access to The Grove Sun Deck or Coastal Kitchen for breakfast or lunch.
If you're looking for the "ship-within-a-ship" feel, you'll want to consider splurging on a Sky or Star Tier suite, such as the brand-new Infinite Grand Suite, Surfside Family Suite, Icon Loft, or Ultimate Family Townhouse.
