Royal Caribbean have named the next Icon Class cruise ship in their amazing new series as Legend of the Seas!
An Icon Becomes A Legend!
Royal Caribbean is no stranger to the name Legend of the Seas. Indeed when I started in the travel industry selling cruise holidays the original Legend of the Seas (now Marella Discovery) was a Vision Class ship, weighing in at 70,000 GRT. She was one of the most loved ships in the Mediterranean at the time. Personally, I cannot wait to see the two docked near each other! This next-generation cruise ship, debuting in Summer 2026, follows the record-breaking success of Icon of the Seas, and promises to elevate the holiday experience to legendary new heights.
Where Will Legend Cruise To?
Set sail on unforgettable adventures as Legend of the Seas makes waves across iconic destinations.
In Summer 2026, take your European holidays to new heights, cruising from Rome and Barcelona. Wander through awe-inspiring landmarks like the Colosseum and La Sagrada Familia, savour fresh seafood in Marseille’s charming fishing villages, and immerse yourself in the rich cultures of Florence, Naples, and Palma de Mallorca—all aboard the most exhilarating ship to ever navigate the Mediterranean.
As Winter 2026 arrives, swap cityscapes for sun-soaked escapes, departing from Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean. Experience thrill and chill at the award-winning private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay, and embark on epic journeys with 8-night Southern Caribbean and 6-night Western Caribbean itineraries—where every port brings a new adventure.
open for sale from 19th February 2025.
