LEGEND OF THE SEAS Delivered!

Royal Caribbean has officially taken delivery of Legend of the Seas, the third vessel in its groundbreaking Icon Class series, marking another major milestone in the company's efforts to redefine the family vacation experience. Built over nearly two years at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland, the ship is now preparing for its inaugural season, which begins in Europe in July 2026. The delivery was celebrated with a ceremony attended by more than 1,200 crew members, partners, and industry representatives. Senior leaders from Royal Caribbean Group and Meyer Turku recognized the contributions of thousands of engineers, designers, architects, and shipbuilders whose work brought the vessel from concept to reality. The event also marked the formal transfer of ownership from the shipyard to Royal Caribbean. Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO Jason Liberty described the delivery as an important step in the company's vision to continuously evolve the vacation experience. He highlighted the combination of innovative ship design, advanced technology, and guest-focused experiences that define the Icon Class, while also emphasizing the strong partnership between Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku that has made these achievements possible. Before welcoming guests, Legend of the Seas will sail to Cádiz, Spain, for final preparations. The ship will then launch its first itineraries in the Mediterranean, offering seven-night cruises from Barcelona and Rome (Civitavecchia). Later in the year, the vessel will reposition to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she will operate six-night Western Caribbean and eight-night Southern Caribbean cruises. Every Caribbean itinerary will include a visit to Royal Caribbean's popular private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay.
