Royal Caribbean has revealed its Hero of the Seas cruise ship, home to the most pools at sea (nine), and a record-breaking 28 dining venues, as well as attractions including a waterpark with two new family raft slides.
Other attractions include the Crown's Edge skywalk/zip line experience, the FlowRider surf simulator, the Adrenaline Peak rock-climbing wall, and the Lost Dunes mini-golf course.
Arriving in Miami in August 2027, Hero of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's fourth Icon Class ship, and will feature eight 'neighbourhoods.
Dining venues include the newest supper club experience, Orleans Parish Supper Club, and Royal Railway – Hero Station, billed as the most immersive dining experience at sea.
Signature Icon Class experiences on the ship will include Pearl – the world's largest kinetic art sculpture, open-air Central Park featuring more than 30,500 real plants, and new theatre productions.
"Icon Class truly set a new standard for family vacations, and Hero of the Seas takes that vision even further," said Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean.
"With more water, more thrills and more choices, we’re building on what our guests love about Royal Caribbean and delivering the experiences families are looking for when vacationing together."
