Royal Caribbean has unveiled Hero of the Seas, the fourth Icon Class ship and its boldest family vacation offering yet, arriving in Miami in August 2027.
Michael Bayley, Royal Caribbean President and CEO, said Hero of the Seas builds on everything guests love about the Icon Class.
“Icon Class truly set a new standard for family vacations and Hero of the Seas takes that vision even further. With more water, more thrills and more choices for all ages, we’re continuing to deliver the experiences families are looking for when vacationing together,” Mr Bayley said.
Hero of the Seas will feature nine pools, the most at sea, including the new Caribbean-inspired Coconut Cove pool, an expanded adults-only Hideaway oasis with two pools and the largest swim-up bar at sea.
At Category 6, the largest waterpark at sea, guests can take on two new family raft slides including the first funnel raft slide at sea.
With 28 dining venues, the most in the fleet, standout new additions include the Orleans Parish Supper Club with live jazz and Cajun cuisine, the immersive Royal Railway dining experience and hands-on family cooking classes in the Surfside neighbourhood.
Accommodation options include the three-storey Ultimate Family Treehouse with a rooftop terrace and private whirlpool, the three-level Ultimate Family Townhouse and a range of suites and family-designed staterooms.
Hero of the Seas will sail seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries from Miami, with every voyage calling at Royal Caribbean’s exclusive destination Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas.
Crown and Anchor Society loyalty members can book from today (April 1), with general bookings opening April 2 at royalcaribbean.com.
