ON MAIDEN VOYAGE.
It’s big, and breathtaking and Royal Caribbean cruise lines says its brand-new Icon of the Seas will hold as many as 10,000 passengers.
The 20-deck ship set sail last week from Miami. Dezeen magazine points out theIcon was designed by four design entities: Skylab Architecture; Wilson Butler Architects; 3 Deluxe; and RTKL.
The 250,000-ton vessel is the size of five Titanics with room for 7,600 guests and 2,350 crew.
So far, no icebergs have been sighted in the ship’s destination: ports around the Caribbean. Sorry, we couldn’t resist.
