Behind every iconic adventure are iconic women, and the world’s best family vacation has some of the greatest minds at the heart of making it a reality. 

On International Women’s Day and every day, Royal Caribbean International celebrates the incredible women behind it all, including the brilliant minds creating Icon of the Seas.

Adventurers on Icon of the Seas are in for the ultimate thrill at the largest waterpark at sea, Category 6. Thrill Island’s six record-breaking slides reach new heights: Pressure Drop, the industry’s first open free-fall slide; Frightening Bolt, the tallest drop slide at sea; Storm Surge and Hurricane Hunter, the first family raft slides with four riders per raft; and Storm Chasers, cruising’s first mat-racing duo.
