Some of Icon of the Seas' lifeboats on the cargo ship BBC Nile on the way to Meyer Turku. On top... And inside...

New video by Meyer Turku. Although we've already seen the launch/float out... From Meyer Turku: "Take a behind-the-scenes look at Icon of the Seas' launching ceremony! Currently, Icon is being built at the outfitting pier, where the ship moved in December last year, when the launching of Icon was celebrated with a traditional launching ceremony. Icon of the Seas is Royal Caribbean's first ship that runs on liquefied natural gas and utilizes fuel cell technology. Together with its other features, such as shore power connections and waste heat recovery systems, the ship becomes a pioneer in sustainable development. Icon of the Seas will be handed over to the customer at the end of 2023 and will set sail on its first voyage in January 2024. The ship will cruise from Miami year-round in the Eastern and Western Caribbean." Filming: Mediascope Productions

Any way to find out when Icon 2's FERU build will begin at Neptun Werft? 😄

From Yachtmodelmaker. Awaiting approval from Royal Caribbean

Unfortunately no. I couldn't convince family & friends. Anyhow, hoping for a contest to win a free inaugural cruise. And Icon jacket & hat. And drinks. Lots of drinks. 😜

More of Icon 2's Pearl (because there is nothing else to show yet 😁).

So glad that they changed the webcam's view a while back. Such a nice view. 😄

Some screen grabs...

These are most likely 17 of the Icon's lifeboats. 😁 Not a miscount. Apparently the 18th lifeboat is coming from Norway. From Palfinger Marine: "Project accomplished! Recently, 17 partially enclosed lifeboats left our production site in Qingdao, China, to reach a customer in Finland." "Fantastic achieved from Palfinger Marine Qingdao plant in . All 17 units of MPC49 lifeboats on the way with vessel BBC Nile to the end customer. Thanks to the rest of Palfinger Marine offices at Netherlands and Norway for incredible support and teamwork Take a look one of our biggest logistic operation from Qingdao plant." 📸Palfinger Marine & Andrej Jovič

Shouldn't that be UTOPIA and not UTOPIA ?

Screen grab from the webcam this morning. So beautiful. 😁
