At long last, Royal Caribbean christened its newest ship, Icon of the Seas, in late January. TravelPulse executive editor Eric Bowman was onboard for the ceremony in Miami—as was soccer superstar Lionel Messi, the ship’s official “icon.”
“Icon of the Seas is a culmination of over 50 years of dreaming, innovating and living our mission each and every day to deliver the world’s best vacations and doing so in a responsible way,” said Jason Liberty, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean Group.
