The Cruise Experience

The ICA Voyage will take place aboard Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas—a world-class Freedom-class ship featuring dedicated meeting spaces, exceptional dining, entertainment, and activities for every type of traveler.

Cabin pricing for ICA Voyage 2027 is based on the entire cabin, not per person. The listed cabin prices are based on double occupancy, meaning each cabin accommodates up to two guests.

For example, an Oceanview cabin priced at $2,364.90 represents an approximate cost of $1,182.45 per person when shared by two guests. If one guest chooses to occupy a cabin alone, the full cabin price applies.

Cabin pricing includes meals, deluxe beverage package, WiFi, taxes and fees, port expenses, and gratuities.

When selecting your cabin, you may choose the option that best fits your travel plans—whether traveling with a colleague, spouse/guest, or as a single occupant.

If your current legal name differs from the name on your birth certificate, you should also bring documentation supporting your legal name change, such as a marriage certificate or court-issued name change document.

For passport information or to apply for a passport, visit the U.S. Department of State's Passport Services website.
