Royal Caribbean has announced that its next ship Legend of the Seas has officially touched water for the first time.
The teams behind the construction celebrated the moment as the newest ship floated out at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland, where Legend will continue to take shape ahead of its August 2026 debut.
As part of the milestone, the ship’s dry dock was filled with water overnight in a process that took nearly 12 hours. Once the dock was filled, the ship then floated over to the outfitting dock, marking an engineering feat that brings the ship one step closer to welcoming its first vacationers.
