Royal Caribbean's new cruise ship, Star of the Seas, has entered its final construction phase in Finland. The ship, which will be the world's largest when completed, is set to launch in August 2025. It can accommodate nearly 8,000 passengers and features several amenities, including multiple neighborhoods and water attractions. In light of the success of its sister ship, Icon of the Seas, which exceeded booking expectations and guest satisfaction, Royal Caribbean plans to construct additional ships in the coming years.
