Ready to envision the future of traveling, let me give you an exclusive look at the top 5 best new cruise ships of 2024, enjoy! Starting off in number 5, we have the gigantic MSC World America. At 22 floors, it will be the world’s tallest cruise ship to ever set
Sail and its onboard amenities match its grandiose and futuristic design. For one, the ship comes equipped with 6 pools, 14 hot tubs, and a massive water park featuring industry-first virtual reality-assisted slides. Just next-door, is the Sports district with a rollerSkate arena
That doubles as a bumper cars venue. The America also features 2 licensed Formula 1 Simulators as well as a fully equipped gym with expansive ocean views. Moving to the aft of the ship, you find the Venom Drop, a crazy 11-story slide which will allow you to drop from lido-deck pools
To the promenade in mere seconds. The promenade is a beautiful open-air neighborhood with ocean views & tons of culinary treats. It also connects to the indoor atrium which will feature some of the over 30 bars, lounges, and restaurants onboard. This will also be complemented by
A massive LED screen on the ceiling which will both set the mood and host daily animated shows. And while the America is a game-changer of a ship for MSC cruises, one beloved thing it doesn’t change is the cruise line’s renowned low prices. A one week cruise onboard starts at just
$500 per person, which for a brand-new, modern, high-tech flagship is a steal. In fourth place, we have Disney’s magnificent Disney Treasure, the sixth ship in the Disney fleet. Coming in with the traditional black and gold finish, the vessel is one of the
Most immaculately-well designed ships in the industry. Every corner is a nod to Disney’s magical universe, allowing you to step into different realms with each turn you take onboard. The ship is split into three neighborhoods: one exclusively for kids, another just for adults,
And a third designed for the whole family to enjoy together. This means, whether you’re bringing along young adventurers or you’re just young at heart yourself, the Disney Treasure promises something special for everyone. And more than any other ship in its fleet,
The Disney Treasure aims to bring the magical thrills of Disney parks right onto the high seas, whether you’re splashing down the Aqua Mouse waterslide, enjoying a culinary immersion into the marvel universe, or stepping into the eerie world of the Haunted Mansion, the Disney Treasure
Promises to be more than just a regular cruise. Next up, we have Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas, which will be the company’s final ship in its iconic Oasis-class, currently the largest and arguably the most successful & popular cruise ship class of all time. At 1,188ft, this colossal
Vessel boasts 8 diverse neighborhoods —from the vibrant energy of its top lido decks to the tranquility of Central Park, a park with over 12,000 real plants and from its active figure skating performances to its beautiful adults-only solarium, this ship will have something for
You. The Utopia of the Seas represents the final tribute to the cruise ship class that revolutionized this industry, with its massive scale, incredible world-class entertainment, and the unique neighborhood concept. And when it will set sail, the vessel will
Be the second largest cruise ship in the world, second to only one other revolutionary ship still coming up in this list. The Utopia will embark on 3 and 4-night extended weekend cruises from Miami to Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at Cococay, in what the company markets
As the “the world’s best weekend getaway”. Moving on, in second place, we have Princess Cruises’ Sun Princess, the first in their innovative Sphere Class. And while this state-of-the-art ship is 21% larger than its counterparts, it also has the highest space-to-passenger ratio of any ship in the Princess Cruises Fleet. The
Sun Princess fills all that extra space with spectacularly expansive luxury features. Behold, for instance,’The Dome,’ a stunning, glass-enclosed area transforming from a sunlit pool by day to a starlit stage by night, featuring breathtaking acrobatic performances in partnership with a world-renowned circus. Dining on the Sun Princess is an elevated affair,
Literally, with a three-story dining room, with each floor offering unique multicourse meals. And for entertainment, the ship is the first in the industry to offer a circular theater that can morph into various designs for an array of spectacular broadway-style shows. Lastly, Princess Cruises also fully reimagined its outdoor promenades, adding more infinity
Pools and bringing you closer to the ocean. Before moving on to the truly exciting number 1, let’s first take a look at some honorable mentions. The historic Cunard Line, which is over 180 years old, is also launching its first ship

You and up to 900 other guests to some of the most remote places on earth all in refined elegance. And now what you’ve all been waiting for, in number one, the best new cruise ship setting sail in 2024, the world’s new largest cruise ship class and the most anticipated new ship
Of the decade, Royal Caribbean’s iconic Icon of the Seas. This ship is truly extraordinary, it comes in at 251,000GT, making it nearly 10% larger than the current largest cruise ship class, while also reducing the number of passengers onboard. And as you can imagine it is overflowing
With things to do. The ship is divided into 8 unique neighborhoods, including Thrill Island, the adventure-seekers’ dream. It features Category 6, the largest waterpark at sea, with six record-breaking slides; Crown’s Edge, which is part skywalk, part ropes course on which passengers swing 154 feet above the ocean; a FlowRider surfing simulator;
An 18-hole minigolf course and so much more.

Bars, and spaces to relax than ever before. At the very front top of the ship, we have the super exciting Aquadome district. An engineering marvel in and of itself, the Aquadome has an enormous glass ceiling which provides beautiful ocean views during
The day and transforms to a show arena with robots, divers, and waterfalls at night. But that’s just one of the three main entertainment venues onboard. The Icon of the Seas also has a stunning ice rink with figure skaters and its main theater which for
The first time ever has a full 15-piece orchestra as well as holograms, drones, and more high-tech features for its broadway style shows. Just next door, is the fully redesigned Royal Promenade, a two-story atrium with floor-to-ceiling-windows and a grandiose entrance named the Pearl, which is also the world’s largest kinetic art sculpture.
The ship also has an even larger Central Park than the Oasis-Class and Surfside, a neighborhood exclusively for young families. Icon of the Seas’ combination of all those onboard amenities truly make it one of the most exciting new cruise ships of this decade.
