Icon of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, sets sail from Miami, capable of housing 7,600 passengers. However, it raises concerns about methane emissions, emitting 120% more life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than marine gas oil. The cruise industry contributes $75bn to the global economy in 2021. Lionel Messi, the World Cup-winning captain of Inter Miami, participated in the ship's naming ceremony.
