The first suspended infinity pool at sea is located on Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas, which debuted in early 2024. Situated in the adults-only neighborhood called "The Hideaway," the pool is perched on Deck 15, cantilevered eight stories above the ocean. This engineering marvel offers 270-degree "beach club" views, allowing swimmers to feel as though they are floating directly over the water's edge. Unlike traditional mid-ship pools, the suspended design utilizes transparent or low-profile barriers to maximize the visual connection to the horizon. This pool was a key part of the "Icon Class" design philosophy, which aimed to incorporate more water features than any previous cruise ship (the ship actually holds 62% more water surface area than the Oasis-class). In 2026, it remains one of the most photographed spots at sea, featuring a dedicated resident DJ and multi-level terrace seating that mimics the vibe of a high-end Las Vegas or Ibiza beach club, but with the added thrill of being suspended over the open Atlantic.
