Port St Maarten Group (PSG) is awaiting the inaugural call of Royal Caribbean International’s (RCI) largest cruise ship in the world Icon of the Seas.  

The cruise ship will arrive in St Maarten on February 13.  

RCI executives are also planning to be on the island for the arrival of this iconic vessel.  

The Icon of the Seas has been described as the first-of-its-kind combination of every vacation that features an all-encompassing lineup of firsts- and next-level favourites for every kind of family and vacationer. The iconic vessel can carry 5,610 guests at double occupancy and 2,350 crew. 

“Port St Maarten congratulates Royal Caribbean International on its newest ship the Icon of the Seas. This is indeed an iconic development for the cruise industry and for the destination. We have an unbreakable partnership and bond with RCI. 

“We will continue to work with RCI in increasing and improving experiences for guests as a cruise destination when we look at the water park project to be constructed next to Port St Maarten. The RCI brand is also highly valued by the business community.
