A New Frontier of Adventure
The Icon of the Seas is a marvel of modern engineering, a floating city that redefines luxury and entertainment at sea.

Perched high above the ocean, this attraction is designed to challenge even the most daring thrill-seekers.
The Storyline: A Royal Quest
Crown’s Edge isn’t just about the physical thrill; it’s a fully immersive experience with a compelling storyline.

You’ll feel the weight of your mission as you reach the platform, where the crown is just within reach—but so is the edge.
The Leap
Standing on the platform, looking down at the endless blue below, the excitement is palpable. The crew gives you a final check and words of encouragement as you prepare for the jump. Then, with a deep breath, you step off the platform, and gravity takes over.
The initial drop is pure adrenaline—a moment where time seems to stand still as you freefall, the wind roaring in your ears. But just as quickly as you fall, you’re swept into a smooth zipline ride that carries you safely back to the ship, the stunning ocean views all around you. The combination of fear, excitement, and the surreal beauty of the open sea makes this experience unforgettable.
