Royal Caribbean has received the world's largest cruise liner, the Icon of the Seas, from shipbuilder Meyer Turku. The massive ship, with 20 decks and a capacity for 7,600 guests, is nearly 1,200 feet long. It features 2,800 guest cabins, seven pools, a six-slide water park, and a three-story "Ultimate Family Townhouse."

A traveler on the Carnival Magic cruise liner was reportedly attacked by another passenger, resulting in the injured guest receiving medical treatment. The alleged assault, which involved a bar glass, occurred in the ship's theater as it was returning to Norfolk, Virginia. Carnival Cruise Line confirmed the incident and stated that the alleged attacker was banned from the cruise line. The FBI and local law enforcement are investigating the incident, and Carnival has expressed zero tolerance for such behavior. The Carnival Magic has a capacity of nearly 3,700 guests and offers various cruise destinations.
