Legend of the Seas will triple the world's
best family vacation count in July
2026
MIAMI, Feb. 18,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- She's an icon, she's a
legend, and she's changing the game. Royal Caribbean has once again set a new standard
for vacations and revealed the name and debut lineup of the third
Icon Class vacation – Legend of the
Seas*. The unmatched combination
of experiences that define the revolutionary Icon Class will sail
year-round from Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, starting in November
2026 on 6-night Western
Caribbean and 8-night Southern Caribbean vacations, including
visits to Royal Caribbean's award-winning Perfect Day at CocoCay
in The Bahamas. Prior to her
Caribbean debut,
Legend will offer summer adventures in Europe with 7-night Western Mediterranean
vacations from Barcelona
beginning July 2026.
Legend's debut lineup will soon open on Royal
Caribbean's website, and Crown & Anchor Society
loyalty members will have special access to book ahead of the
official opening on Thursday, Feb. 20.
"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, 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."
In the summer, vacationers can Euro-hop to bucket-list
destinations like France,
Italy and Spain, filled with historic sites,
stunning landscapes and sun-soaked beaches. Legend's grand
Caribbean debut in the winter
will take vacationers to the region's most magnificent destinations
in the Western and Southern
Caribbean, including visits to the vacation brand's
one-of-a-kind private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, on every
getaway. More adventures are in store across picture-perfect spots
and next-level activities to match the views, from snorkeling in
Oranjestad, Aruba, to
lounging on the beaches of Falmouth, Jamaica, and exploring the cultural
Willemstad, Curacao.
A legend in the making, the vacation currently under
construction in Turku, Finland, is
set to be the next chapter of the world's best family
vacation. The third combination of the best of every vacation
will bring more of the unparalleled experiences introduced by
Icon of the Seas and doubled by Star
of the Seas, the next in the lineup debuting in
Port Canaveral (Orlando),
Florida, in August 2025. There's something for
every type of family and vacationer across eight neighborhoods with
more than 40 ways to dine and drink, adrenaline-pumping
thrills, unrivaled ways to chill, and plenty of ways for
vacationers to make memories together and on their own, without
compromise.
Adventurers have in store a lineup of Icon Class highlights on
Legend from thrills like Crown's Edge – part skywalk,
part ropes course and part thrill ride – to the largest waterpark
at sea, Category 6. Sun-seekers can kick back and choose
from seven pools for every vibe and mood, including the largest
pool at sea, Royal Bay;
swim-up bar Swim & Tonic and the adults-only
Hideaway, featuring a one-of-a-kind infinity pool suspended
above the ocean. Plus, families of all ages can spend time together
or chart their own adventures at Surfside, the neighborhood designed for
young families, and with a lineup of activities and ways to stay,
including the three-story Ultimate Family Townhouse with
reimagined spaces for the whole family.
Legend will also be the vacation company's fourth
ship powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and feature a proven
lineup of industry-leading environmental programs. With
applications ranging from waste heat recovery systems to shore
power connection, Legend will advance Royal Caribbean
Group's journey toward introducing a net-zero cruise ship by
2035.
More details about what's in store on Legend will be
revealed at a later date, and fans can be the first to learn more
on Royal Caribbean's website.
