Star of the Seas to Deliver the Ultimate Family Vacation

Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas will soon offer a range of new vacation experiences, including the fastest waterslides, over 40 dining options, and adventures at Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas.

“Star of the Seas is the second bold act of this exciting, new era of vacations first introduced with Icon of the Seas, and it’s putting the world’s best vacation on the map at yet another top travel destination,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “Between Miami and Port Canaveral (Orlando), more adventurers than ever can set their sights on the only vacation that combines the best of all vacations – from the beach retreat to the resort escape and the theme park adventure – with experiences that have and will continue to make headlines and memories for years to come.”
