Casimir Lindholm, CEO of Meyer Turku: " LEGEND OF THE SEAS continues the state-of-the-art Icon Class, which allows the Finnish maritime industry to showcase its unique expertise at its best. The shipyard, Royal Caribbean, and an extensive network of partners work together to develop the processes and concepts from ship to ship. Alongside its sister ships, LEGEND OF THE SEAS will also mark an important milestone in increasingly responsible shipbuilding."

At 365 metres long, nearly 50 metres wide, and with a gross tonnage of approximately 248,000, LEGEND OF THE SEAS is the third ship in Royal Caribbean’s Icon Class. The first ship in the class, ICON OF THE SEAS, was delivered to the brand in November 2023, and the second, STAR OF THE SEAS, in July 2025. The fourth Icon Class ship, currently under construction at the shipyard and yet to be named, will be completed in 2027. Royal Caribbean’s agreement also includes options to build fifth and sixth Icon Class ships.

In keeping with the hallmarks of the Icon Class, a giant glass and steel dome, the AquaDome, has been lifted on the bow of the ship. Inside Legend, you will also find the familiar Pearl, also a part of the ship's load-bearing structure. The ship also offers passengers eight distinct neighborhoods, numerous pools, and a variety of restaurants and bars.

The Icon Class ships are the first ships in the fleet to run on natural gas. Icon’s energy efficiency in Legend has been further improved with new-generation TSDF main engines, among other things. Together with other features, such as shore power connections and waste heat recovery systems, they are as sustainable as possible.

LEGEND OF THE SEAS will be delivered to Royal Caribbean in the summer of 2026.
