"Icon of the Seas" successfully set sail

With the maiden voyage of the "Icon of the Seas" in January 2024, Royal Caribbean is setting new standards on the world's oceans – and we at the company wiegand.waterrides are proud to be a central element of this extraordinary project. As a manufacturer of innovative water and dry slides, we were able to help design the largest water park ever built on a cruise ship.

The "Icon of the Seas" offers guests a spectacular range of leisure activities at sea. Several individually developed water slides as well as exciting dry slides from our company provide thrills, action and variety for the whole family. Our slides are part of Royal Caribbean's visionary leisure concept and offer unforgettable experiences at the highest level – in the middle of the ocean.

We master the special requirements of a cruise ship – from extreme weather conditions to technical specifications in the maritime environment – with many years of experience, precise planning and high-quality production. Our solutions are not only space-saving and robust, but also a real crowd-puller.

With the "Icon of the Seas", the new era of the icon class begins. In this context, we are pleased to once again provide spectacular slide experiences on board the sister ships "Star of the Seas" (2025) and "Legend of the Seas" (2026).

The company wiegand.waterrides stands for innovation, quality and leisure fun – whether on land or at sea. Thanks to the successful implementation on the "Icon of the Seas", we are once again proving our leading role in the branch of maritime leisure attractions.
