The storm of the century is brewing — and your clients are in its path. Brace for Category 6, the largest waterpark at sea, with six record-breaking slides. Roaring thunder means the Frightening Bolt is close, and this drop waterslide is the tallest at sea. Once their stomach lurches, it’s too late. They’ll be caught in the Pressure DropSM, the first open free-fall slide at sea. And if your clients are still determined to charge in headfirst, they can grab a friend and take on the first mat racing duo ever to sail, Storm ChasersSM. Or gather the whole crew — and their courage — for Hurricane HunterSM and Storm SurgeSM, doubling up the firsts with not one but two new raft slides the whole family can ride.

Do your clients dare step to the edge of bravery? Only on Icon of the Seas will they encounter the Crown’s EdgeSM — a fear-inducing challenge that’s part skywalk, part ropes course, part thrill ride and an all-out test of courage. Strap in and step onto the walkway. Dare to look down at the crashing waves below — but keep moving.

Pool days aren’t just for kids on the new Icon of the Seas. Shake up your sea day with ice-cold drinks and sun-drenched hangs. Like the suspended infinity pool that bumps beach club beats.
