Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas to star in Channel 4 documentary

Icon of the Seas is the subject of a 60-minute show The World’s Biggest Cruise Ship. The Channel 4 documentary will show behind-the-scenes footage of crew and guests during Icon’s inaugural sailings from Miami earlier this year.

Gerard Nolan, Royal Caribbean’s EMEA vice-president, said: “Icon of the Seas continues to break records for Royal Caribbean, from driving the biggest booking weeks in our company history to securing our top guest satisfaction scores.

“When it comes to the guest experience, Icon really does change the game when it comes to family holidays and this documentary gives viewers a flavour of what Royal Caribbean has to offer.”

The 7,600-capacity passenger ship has eight distinct 'neighbourhoods' for people to visit, as well as the world’s largest water park at sea, seven swimming pools, a 55-foot-tall waterfall, and more than 40 bars and restaurants.

The World’s Biggest Cruise Ship will air on Channel 4 this Sunday (August 18) at 8pm.
