Royal Caribbean has reached a major milestone for Legend of the Seas, as the next Icon Class ship successfully completes sea trials.
Over the next 10 days, more than 2,000 engineers and specialists will put Legend through a comprehensive series of technical tests to evaluate its systems, from testing how the ship moves in the open water to pushing its engine performance to the limits and more.
Legend will cover approximately 2,400 nautical miles before returning to the Meyer Turku shipyard for its final stages of construction. With that Legend of the Seas moves one step closer to delivering “the world’s best family vacation” with its debut in July 2026.
Building on the record-breaking Icon Class lineup, Legend will offer eight distinct neighborhoods for every mood, more than 40 ways to dine, drink and be entertained, and experiences for vacationers of all ages.
After its inaugural European summer season, the new ship will head to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and take vacationers on 6-night Western Caribbean getaways and 8-night Southern Caribbean adventures, including visits to the vacation brand’s top-rated destination at Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas.
