Royal Caribbean reveals name and details of third Icon class ship
Royal Caribbean International has revealed the name and debut itineraries of its third Icon class ship
Legend of the Seas will offer summer itineraries in Europe with seven-night Western Mediterranean sailings from Barcelona beginning August 2026.
The ship will then reposition to the US the following November to sail year-round from Fort Lauderdale on six-night Western Caribbean and eight-night Southern Caribbean itineraries, including visits to Royal Caribbean’s Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas.
“On the heels of celebrating one year of the record-breaking Icon class and the memories made by vacationers of all ages on Icon, we are thrilled to announce the name of Royal Caribbean’s third Icon class vacation,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International.
“Legend of the Seas is the next bold step in this exciting era of vacations and the continuation of the Icon class legacy, and we look forward to bringing the revolutionary lineup of experiences to more families and adventurers across Europe, the Caribbean and beyond.”
This ship, which is currently under construction in Turku, Finland, will take inspiration from sister ships Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas and feature eight neighbourhoods with more than 40 drink and dining options.
It’ll also feature Crown’s Edge, a suspended adventure-style sky walk, and the largest waterpark at sea, Category 6. There will also be seven pools, swim-up bar Swim & Tonic and the adults-only Hideaway.
Legend will become the company’s fourth ship powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), as well as featuring waste heat recovery systems and shore power connection.
