Jam-packed with activities, Royal Caribbean bills the 1,198-foot-long Icon of the Seas as the world’s biggest cruise ship, capable of holding up to 2,350 crew members and 5,610 guests at double occupancy.

The first-of-its-kind Icon Class ship boasts just about every kind of vacation amenity, from beachy relaxation to theme park elements, family townhouses and a swim-up bar.
