Entertainment Surprises Revealed for Star of the Seas
With the debut of the second Icon-class ship, Star of the Seas, just four months away, eager guests are excited to learn more about what awaits them onboard.
Of course we already know about the ship’s phenomenal size, its outstanding Category 6 Waterpark, the search for artists to craft exclusive murals, and the second Chief Dog Officer of the fleet.
But what about entertainment onboard? You might think this is old news with “Back to the Future: The Musical” vibes, but the cruise line has just released details about new and exciting shows for its new and exciting ship.
Royal Caribbean’s iconic aqua shows are a cruise vacation must-see, and guests at Star of the Seas‘ AquaTheater will enjoy the high-energy, adrenaline-fueled “Torque” show. Throughout the performance, daredevil stunts and cutting-edge technology combine for an unforgettable and heart-pumping experience.
Down on Deck 5 in Absolute Zero, the ice rink is transformed for “Sol” creating a fire-and-ice performance tracing the sun’s fiery path from coast to coast. In addition to extreme stunts, the show will feature immersive projections that truly create an unforgettable space.
For a bit of fun on the Royal Promenade, guests can join the hunt for the lost Royal Scroll, assisting King Atlantis and his courtiers through “Ocean Odyssey.”
Altogether, these entertainment options are as larger-than-life as the ship herself. Star of the Seas will feature the biggest orchestra at sea, the most synchronized swimmers of any AquaTheater show, and the largest ice skating cast in the Royal Caribbean fleet.
Of course, Star of the Seas will also be offering comedy shows in The Attic for gut-busting laughs, along with live music all across the ship.
Want some elegant music for ambiance with an evening stroll? Visit Central Park. Want to spice up the night with some sexy salsa steps? Try Boleros. Prefer pub vibes and fun folk songs? Visit the Thorn & Thistle.
And don’t forget to keep a lookout for the Stowaway Piano Player, who might show up just about anywhere – including inside an elevator! I never have figured out how they fit a piano through those doors.

Sailing Aboard Star of the Seas
Star of the Seas will homeport from Port Canaveral on Florida’s Space Coast, offering 7-night Eastern Caribbean and Western Caribbean itineraries.
Her weeklong sailings will visit top ports such as Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico; Roatan Island in Honduras; St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands; San Juan in Puerto Rico; and Philipsburg in St. Maarten.
Each sailing – east and west – will also visit Royal Caribbean’s award-winning private island destination in the Bahamas, Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Because the shipbuilding schedule has been adjusted not once but twice, Star of the Seas will also be offering three shorter “showcase” sailings before her official maiden voyage departs on August 31, 2025.
The August 20 departure is a 3-night cruise just to CocoCay, while the August 23 and August 27 departures are both 4-night cruises, also visiting just the private island.
The ship will remain sailing from Port Canaveral at least through April 2027, giving eager travelers – up to 5,610 per cruise at double occupancy – plenty of chances to enjoy her amazing entertainment and onboard amenities.
