At 250,800 gross tons, Icon of the Seas is more than 6% larger than Royal Caribbean's 1-year-old Wonder of the Seas, which previously was the biggest ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet (and the biggest ship operated by any line). Icon of the Seas can carry up to 7,600 passengers — a new record for a passenger ship.

What was the first Disney ship? ›

The Disney Magic was Disney's first ship, built in the legendary Fincantieri shipyards in Italy.

The ship is built to run on liquified natural gas, which burns more cleanly than other conventional marine fuels but contains high levels of methane. Royal Caribbean's “Icon of the Seas,” billed as the world's largest cruise ship, sails from the Port of Miami in Miami, Florida, on its maiden cruise, January 27, 2024.

Thankfully, very few cruise ships have actually sunk in modern history. Even so, the Titanic's sinking impacted maritime law so much that there are more than enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew onboard any given sailing. Within the last 111 years, over 20 cruise ships and ocean liners have sunk.
