Lionel Messi has been selected to represent the Icon of the Seas program that is offered by Royal Caribbean.
The Argentine footballer, who is widely considered to be the greatest player of all time, will be present at the naming ceremony for the ship, which will take place in Miami in the month of January.
According to the line, he would “bestow safekeeping onto the new ship, its crew, and the millions of families” who will sail on board in the years to come. This is because of his position as a “icon.”
Following the revelation that Royal Caribbean and Inter Miami FC have forged a multiyear collaboration, Messi’s new role comes as a result of this partnership. According to Royal Caribbean, the two organizations will collaborate on “local initiatives in South Florida.”
The Icon of the Seas will embark on its inaugural voyage on January 27, 2024. It will do seven-night sailings throughout the Eastern Caribbean and the Western Caribbean, with stops at CocoCay, which is Royal Caribbean’s most favored island resort in the Bahamas.
According to Michael Bayley, the president and chief executive officer of Royal Caribbean International, “Icon of the Seas is the culmination of more than fifty years of delivering memorable vacations, and it is set to live up to its name in more ways than one when it changes the vacation industry in January of 2024.”
“It is the ability to make such a widespread impact and change the status quo that the icon of Icon [of the Seas] must personify, and Lionel Messi has proven to be the perfect example of that for years in the world of sports and, most recently, in introducing a new era of excitement and passion for football in Miami and elsewhere in the United States,” said the author.
At the same time, Messi expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of the Royal Caribbean family in commemorating the arrival of the revolutionary Icon of the Seas.
When it comes to family vacations, there is nothing else that can compare to Icon. It offers wonderful features that have never been seen before, all of which are geared toward creating memories with your loved ones.
