TOTAL PACKAGE
Icon ’ s impressive entertainment roster features both industry-firsts and old favorites spread across eight “ neighborhoods ”.
There are hair-raising , adrenaline-pumping thrills ( record-breaking six water slides alone ), more than 40 ways to dine – and always plenty of ways to chill ( did we mention the seven pools ?).
Icon is also the cruise line ’ s first ship that can be powered by liquefied natural gas ( LNG ). The dual-fuel engines work alongside a lineup of energy efficiency initiatives and industry-leading environmental programs on board , such as the first waste-to-energy plant at sea .
Also , Icon is 24 percent more energy efficient than the standards required for ships being designed today . Being hailed as the cruise line ’ s most sustainable ship to date , Icon is certainly an important step in parent company Royal Caribbean Group ’ s green journey to introduce a netzero cruise ship by 2035 .
“ Climate-wise , Icon represents the very best expertise we have ,” says Jantunen .
