BEHIND THE PARTICULARS

Built for a purpose

Builder / location: Meyer Turku, Turku, Finland
Original role: Icon-class family cruising

Why it was built

Star of the Seas extends Royal Caribbean’s Icon-class programme. The commercial aim is to place accommodation, dining, entertainment and outdoor attractions within one large floating holiday resort. Its relationship to Icon matters more than a tiny difference in a headline size figure: it repeats a broad architectural approach while adapting the guest experience.

From sea trials to handover

The ship underwent sea trials around Turku in 2025 before Royal Caribbean accepted it from Meyer Turku in July. Trials are an important distinction from delivery: a vessel can be afloat and moving under its own power while the builder is still proving that its systems meet the contract.

Its first deployment

The delivery announcement described a passage from Turku to Cadiz for final preparations, followed by eastern and western Caribbean itineraries. That provides a useful documented journey from European shipbuilding to a warm-water cruise market. It is historical deployment information; use the tracking dashboard only when a verified identity and a received report are available.
