Royal Caribbean Unveils 3rd Icon Class Ship: ‘Legend of the Seas’

Royal Caribbean has announced the maiden European launch of one of its Icon Class ships in Europe, along with the naming of the third ship in the Class – Legend of the Seas.

The third in the Class will debut with a 7-night Western Mediterranean jaunt from Barcelona between July and October 2026 before continuing the adventure in the Caribbean later in the year.

Legend of the Seas follows the successful launch of Icon of the Seas in early 2023 and will follow the launch of Star of the Seas this August.

“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 line-up of experiences to more families and adventurers across Europe, the Caribbean and beyond.”
