MIAMI, June 10, 2026

The celebration in Turku, Finland, marked the official handover of the ship to the vacation brand ahead of a July 2026 European debut

MIAMI, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Caribbean has officially welcomed Legend of the Seas to the family, continuing the evolution of the Icon Class lineup designed to deliver the best family vacation experiences. After nearly two years of construction at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland, the third Icon Class ship is now ready to make its July 2026 European debut.

&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;To mark the milestone, more than 1,200 crew members and partners came together for a legendary ceremony led by Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO Jason Liberty, Royal Caribbean President and CEO Michael Bayley, and Meyer Turku CEO Casimir Lindholm. During the celebration, the team recognized the hard work of thousands of engineers, designers, architects and crew members who brought &lt;i&gt;Legend&lt;/i&gt; to life and marked the transfer of ownership between Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Today&#39;s delivery of &lt;i&gt;Legend of the Seas&lt;/i&gt; marks another important milestone in our ambition to continuously redefine the vacation experience,&quot; said Jason Liberty, chairman and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. &quot;This new ship reflects the strength of the vacation ecosystem we are building &ndash; combining industry-leading ships, innovative technology, and exceptional experiences for our guests. It is an achievement only possible through the extraordinary partnership and expertise of Meyer Turku and the thousands of talented people whose creativity and commitment continue to help us design the future of vacations.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The delivery is part of the company&#39;s long-term framework agreement with Meyer Turku, securing the Group&#39;s access to shipbuilding capacity through 2036, including the order of Icon 5 to be delivered in 2028, as well as the sixth and seventh Icon Class ships in 2029 and 2030, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Soon, &lt;i&gt;Legend&lt;/i&gt; will journey from Turku to Cadiz, Spain, where Royal Caribbean will add finishing touches before vacationers set sail on &lt;b&gt;7-night Western Mediterranean adventures &lt;/b&gt;from &lt;b&gt;Barcelona, Spain,&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy,&lt;/b&gt; this summer. In November, the ship will arrive in &lt;b&gt;Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to deliver&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;6-night Western Caribbean&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;8-night Southern Caribbean&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;vacations&lt;/b&gt; with every adventure visiting Royal Caribbean&#39;s top-rated &lt;a href=&quot;https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4706476-1&amp;h=462960293&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.royalcaribbean.com%2Fcococay-cruises%3Fecid%3Dpr_int_pblc_r_wb_3338&amp;a=Perfect+Day+CocoCay&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Perfect Day CocoCay&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;We&#39;re incredibly proud to introduce &lt;i&gt;Legend of the Seas&lt;/i&gt; to vacationers and continue the legacy of the revolutionary Icon Class,&quot; said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean. &quot;This wouldn&#39;t be possible without the many talented individuals that came together to deliver what is truly the ultimate family vacation, and we look forward to making &lt;i&gt;Legend&lt;/i&gt;&#39;s debut this summer a legendary one.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vacationers of all ages on &lt;i&gt;Legend &lt;/i&gt;can experience an all-encompassing lineup of standout dining, immersive entertainment, adrenaline-filled activities and accommodations across eight neighborhoods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul type=&quot;disc&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Legend &lt;/i&gt;will introduce &lt;b&gt;the most dining at sea with 28 options&lt;/b&gt; for every occasion.
