RCL's Icon of the Seas is helping the world’s best family vacation reach new heights. Watch Icon of the Seas’ AquaDome neighborhood take shape with the installation of a new feat – a 363-ton dome – at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland. In a record-breaking lift, it took more than 80 hours to install the single largest glass and steel structure to be lifted onto a cruise ship, which stands 82 feet tall and 164 feet wide.
The countdown begins! Officially one year until the arrival of #IconoftheSeas. ????

The dome will broaden vacationers’ horizons with 220-degree, wraparound ocean views and more. Featured among Icon’s eight all-encompassing neighborhoods, the transformational AquaDome will be a tranquil oasis by day and a vibrant hotspot at night, complete with signature, deck-defying aqua shows at the AquaTheater, new restaurants, bars, lounges and nightlife.
