Royal reveals bars onboard Icon of the Seas

Royal Caribbean has revealed the more than 15 bars that will be onboard Icon of the Seas when it launches in January 2024.

The new openings include brand new venues such as Lou’s Jazz ‘n Blues in Central Park and Dueling Pianos in the Royal Promenade. There’s also new spots to grab a drink before a show, like the Rye & Bean coffee bar in the AquaDome and Bubbles in Central Park.

Another new addition will be the Overlook and Overlook Pods. The elevated lounge and nooks will take nights provide private spaces for groups of friends in the AquaDome.

The elevated lounge and first-of-their-kind nooks at sea take nights out and hangouts to another level. The wraparound windows in the AquaDome bring the ocean center stage during the day, and at night, the cruise line’s marquee aqua shows are just a few steps away. The next-level pods are where friends can lounge with a drink, play classic boardgames and kick back to live music, too.

“We’ve set out to introduce a new kind of vacation in every sense and taken a blank slate to create an unparalleled blend of ways vacationers can celebrate and make memories whatever their mood, vibe and style,” said Linken D’Souza, vice president, food and beverage, Royal Caribbean International. “From all-new venues and bolder favorites to new iconic drinks on every menu, zero-proof cocktails and twists to classics, there’s something for everyone to make the most of their nights out on Icon of the Seas.”
