Project Icon is the preliminary name for upcoming cruise ship class planned for 2022 by Royal Caribbean International.[2][3] At 200,000 gross tonnes, the ships will be smaller than the Oasis class, but larger than the Quantum class. Royal Caribbean has already trademarked the name "Icon of the Seas", which could be an indication as to the name of the first ship.[4]

The ships will be classified by DNV GL.[5]
