Royal Caribbean International has presented its third Icon Class vessel, Legend of the Seas. The under-construction 250,800-ton ship is due for delivery in July 2026 for seven-night Western Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona to France, Italy, and Spain.
After the Mediterranean summer season, Legend of the Seas will reposition to Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) in November 2026 to run a six-night Western Caribbean and eight-night Southern Caribbean itineraries, with each Caribbean voyage making a stop at Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s private destination in the Bahamas. Other Caribbean ports that will be called on include Oranjestad (Aruba), Falmouth (Jamaica), and Willemstad (Curaçao).
Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, declared, “Legend of the Seas is the next bold step in this exciting era of vacations and the continuation of the Icon Class legacy”.
Onboard are some of the signature attractions of the Icon Class, namely Crown’s Edge (a combination of a skywalk and ropes course) and Category 6, the largest waterpark at sea. Like its sisters, Legend of the Seas will be powered with LNG propulsion technologies as a key aspect of Royal Caribbean’s green initiatives.
Crown & Anchor Society loyalty members will get early booking access starting February 20, 2025, before reservations open to the general public.
Joining Icon of the Seas (which launched January 2024) and Star of the Seas (scheduled for August 2025) in Royal Caribbean’s innovative Icon Class fleet, Legend of the Seas.
