Star of the Seas Completes Sea Trials

Great news for Royal Caribbean fans—Star of the Seas, the second ship in the Icon Class, has officially completed her sea trials, bringing her one step closer to welcoming guests aboard in 2025. As a professional travel advisor, I’m here to break down what this means and how you can start planning your next unforgettable cruise vacation.

What Are Sea Trials?

Sea trials are a crucial step in cruise ship development. Conducted in open waters, they test:

• Engine performance

• Maneuverability and stability

• Navigation and safety systems

Think of them as the ship’s final exam before she can officially set sail with passengers.

Why “Star of the Seas” Is a Big Deal

Following in the wake of Icon of the Seas, Star of the Seas is expected to be even more innovative. She’s set to launch in August 2025 from Port Canaveral, Florida and will offer 7-night Caribbean itineraries packed with onboard thrills and tropical adventures.

As your go-to cruise travel advisor, I can confirm: demand for these sailings is going to be sky-high.

Top Features to Expect

While Royal Caribbean has kept some surprises under wraps, here’s what we know so far:

• Bigger and better Thrill Island

• Family-focused spaces and activities

• Sustainability upgrades

• Immersive dining and entertainment

• More Perfect Day at CocoCay sailings

Whether you’re booking for a honeymoon, family trip, or multigenerational group, there will be something onboard for everyone.
