What makes it different
Star of the Seas is the proof that Icon of the Seas was a class, not a one-off. Delivered by Meyer Turku in 2025 and sailing from Port Canaveral, she matches her lead sister at 248,663 gross tons and 5,610 passengers at double occupancy — which made her, on delivery, the joint largest cruise ship in the world rather than a new record holder.
That is a deliberate strategy. Royal Caribbean learned with the Oasis class that a family of near-identical giants is worth more than a single champion: the same terminals, the same crew training, the same spare parts, and a headline ship in more than one home port at once. Star brought the Icon experience — the AquaDome, the Category 6 waterpark, the eight-neighborhood layout — to Florida's second great cruise port.
Her one unqualified superlative lasted until June 2026, when Legend of the Seas measured out fractionally longer. On this site's boards the three sisters sit together at the top of the gross tonnage table, separated by rounding errors.
