MIAMI- Royal Caribbean is setting the stage and table with a look at its full offering of spectacular entertainment and unmatched dining experiences that will light up Star of the Seas. Debuting in August 2025 from Port Canaveral, Orlando, Florida, the next combination of the best of every vacation is ready to deliver experiences for all ages, from world-class entertainment, including an electrifying journey through time with 'Back to the Future: The Musical,' to the ultimate dining experiences at Lincoln Park Supper Club and three new concepts in the Icon Class favorite, AquaDome Market.

True to its name, Star will deliver the most daring offshore entertainment to date with five exclusive shows on stage, air, water and ice. Guests will be aboard their seats with entertainment throughout the day, including new theatrical productions, live music from the largest orchestra at sea, advanced technology and daring acrobatics from incredible divers, acrobats and much more. And when it comes to what's on the Star menu, adventurers can recharge and satisfy their culinary cravings with more than 40 places to eat and drink with options to suit all tastes.

'At Royal Caribbean, we know that dining and entertainment are at the heart of our guests' vacation experiences and memories. The Icon Class redefines vacations, and Star pushes the boundaries of flavors and entertainment with a mix of new and fan-favorite offerings, so every type of vacationer can create lifelong memories together in their own way,' said Kara Wallace, chief marketing officer of Royal Caribbean.

From morning to night, vacationers can immerse themselves in a variety of experiences in Star's eight neighborhoods, including:

Adventures for the whole family

At the next-level Royal Theater, adventurers of all ages can explore dreams and discover creativity with a new Royal Caribbean production, 'Create.' The must-see show follows the soul-searching journey of a curious robot, KRE-8, which harnesses singing, dancing, visual arts and all forms of expression.

Families can embark on a cloak-and-dagger adventure with AquaTheater's show, 'Pirates & Mermaids.' This fun-filled show combines dancing, artistic swimming, and incredible diving skills, all with a comedic atmosphere, as pirates encounter mermaids, culminating in a poignant lesson about life's true treasure.

For unique flavors, vacationers of all ages can recharge at AquaDome Market, an exclusive dining space for the Icon Class, which features five food stalls, including three new ones at Star serving smoked pulled pork and beef brisket; regional Southeast Asian favorites such as pad thai and veal panag, typical South American dishes such as empanadas and arepas.

In between adventures, families can stop by the family-favorite Surfside Eatery, refuel at Basecamp on Thrill Island, or embark on a culinary journey with more than 12 types of cuisine available each day at Windjammer, which boasts the largest buffet in the fleet.

Evening shows

Headlining the star-studded entertainment lineup is the cult classic 'Back to the Future: The Musical,' which travels straight from Broadway to the world's best family vacation at Star. Vacationers will be able to travel back in time with classic rock hits performed by the largest orchestra at sea, captivating choreography and special effects, and surprises from Royal Caribbean.

Vacationers can experience more breathtaking moments at the AquaTheater with 'Torque,' a fast-paced water show featuring athletic performers, synchronized swimmers, dancers, and tightrope walkers for an action-packed show of thrilling acrobatics, cutting-edge technology, and immersive imagery. In addition, guests can visit Absolute Zero to see 'SOL,' starring the vacation brand's largest ice-skating cast. The new ice show follows the path of the sun, with acrobatics and mind-blowing visual effects.

Making its debut at Star, Lincoln Park Supper Club in the Central Park neighborhood is an elevated, multi-course food journey inspired by 1930s Chicago. The sensory experience combines live jazz music with sophisticated cocktails and curated dishes that evoke the iconic dining venues in The Windy City, from the Chez Paree club to the famous restaurant, The Pump Room.

For a pre-show dinner, guests can savor premium cuts at Chops Grille, enjoy hibachi at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, or savor every bite and moment together at Celebration Table, a private dining experience perfect for every occasion.

Nighttime hot spots

The fun just begins when the sun goes down. There are plenty of ways to party the night away, from watching an adults-only comedy show at The Attic, singing hits at late-night karaoke, or going for the biggest prize at Casino Royale.

In addition, Star features more than 20 bars and nightlife venues at favorites like Dueling Pianos, Rye & Bean for coffee-based cocktails, New Orleans-inspired Lou's, and Bubbles for a toast under the stars in Central Park.

As the next best family vacation in the world, Star will offer 7-night getaways to the Eastern and Western Caribbean with stops at Royal Caribbean's top-rated private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas. Starting in December 2025, Star vacationers can visit the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in the Bahamas, the first beach club in the Royal Beach Club Collection that offers the ultimate beach day for all vibes, with family, relaxing, and party experiences.
