One of the most recognizable spaces on a Royal Caribbean ship is the Royal Promenade. This part of the ship is the atrium-style epicenter- the heart of the ship where guests gather for entertainment, delicious dining, drinks, and a little shopping. On Icon of the Seas the Royal Promenade is bigger and better than every before!
The Promenade is 2 levels and offers a wide-range of venues from bars, to karaoke, to the classic Starbucks conveniently located next to the escalators so guests can grab their morning drink on the way to the gangway for their shore excursions.
And in the middle of this beautiful space is the incredible Pearl, a multi-level orb that is part stairway, part art installation, part structural masterpiece that bears the weight of the ship’s frame, allowing for large windows on one side of the Promenade for incredible natural light.
Here is everything you will find on Icon of the Seas’ Royal Promenade!
