CNN —The world’s biggest cruise ship is now in­­ the hands of its new owner, with Royal Caribbean accepting delivery of the 1,198-foot Icon of the Seas this week. Royal Caribbean says Icon of the Seas is the cruise line’s first ship that can be powered by liquefied natural gas and will have the first waste-to-energy plant at sea. “Images of Royal Caribbean’s ships have often elicited strong responses,” cruise expert Stewart Chiron told CNN Travel when questioned about the reaction in August. The current “world’s largest cruise ship” title holder is another vessel in the Royal Caribbean fleet, Wonder of the Seas, which made its inaugural voyage in 2022. Slightly smaller than Icon of the Seas, it stretches 1,188 feet in length and has 18 decks to explore.

Most major cruise lines offer airfare programs that come with certain travel protections. AdvertisementEvery cruise line's policy is slightly different, so make sure you read the fine print.

The Icon of the Seas, set to sail in January, is five times the size of the Titanic. If it did strike ice, Royal Caribbean says it has enough lifeboats and rafts for everyone on board. Turns out it is very rare for a cruise ship today to strike an iceberg, but it's not impossible. Cruise ships rely on radar technology and satellite monitoring to avoid collisions with icebergs. Thankfully cruise ships today are also better prepared for disaster.
