Royal Caribbean International has revealed the name and maiden season itineraries of its third Icon-class ship, Legend of the Seas.
"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."
The Icon-class ship is to join Royal Caribbean’s fleet in July 2026, when it will begin sailing a series of seven-night Western Mediterranean itineraries from Barcelona, Spain. Legend of the Seas’ European cruises will include visits to ports in France, Italy and Spain, offering excursions to historic sites, local beaches and natural landmarks.
Legend of the Seas will then move to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in November 2026, offering six-night Western Caribbean and eight-night Southern Caribbean voyages year-round. Both itineraries will include visits to the cruise line’s private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, as well as calls in Oranjestad on Aruba, Falmouth in Jamaica and Willemstad on Curacao.
