In Miami there is already the multi-ball 2-year icon of Sea, the largest cruise ship in the world and so far the undisputed queen bee of the Megacruising universe.

In addition, Miami is the basis for the largest ship of all time by Carnival Cruise Line, the 2-year carnival party.

Icon of the Seas Sails Sails Weegong Caribbean Voyages from Miami every Saturday, just like MSC World America. Carnival Celebration sails from Miami from Miami every Sunday.

Royal Caribbean, Carnival and MSC Cruises are the three largest cruise plates in the world and operate many of the largest and most triggered ships in the world.

Huge water strokes, huge pool zones and an impressive inner promenade full of restaurants and bars that can be found on any other ship are among the outstanding features of the ship.
