Royal Caribbean has announced the debut of its new Icon-class ship, Legend of the Seas, set for summer 2026 in Europe before heading to the Caribbean in November 2026.
The ship will offer guests many experiences with 28 dining options, new entertainment, and family-friendly activities across eight distinct neighborhoods.
Dining
Dining includes the Royal Railway – Legend Station, an immersive experience following Marco Polo’s Silk Route journey through a five-course meal.
The Hollywoodland Supper Club offers a multi-course dinner with jazz and gourmet bites inspired by the golden age of Hollywood.
The AquaDome Market food hall returns with new cuisine stalls and a fresh juice bar, complementing favorites like Chops Grille and Izumi.
Entertainment
Evenings will feature headlining entertainment such as the Broadway musical Roald Dahl’s “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” performing in the Royal Theater for the first time at sea.
The AquaTheater and Absolute Zero ice arena will host acrobatic and diving shows alongside more than 20 bars and lounges including jazz venues, dueling pianos, and craft cocktail bars.
Adventure options include six waterslides at the Category 6 waterpark, the Crown’s Edge zip line, new mini golf, rock climbing, and family-focused areas like Surfside Eatery and an updated Playscape.
The ship’s seven pools offer varied atmospheres, from adult-only infinity pools to family splash zones.
In July 2026, Legend of the Seas will begin 7-night Western Mediterranean itineraries from Barcelona and Rome, later transitioning to 6- and 8-night Caribbean voyages from Fort Lauderdale.
These Caribbean sailings will include stops in Aruba, Curacao, and Royal Caribbean’s exclusive island Perfect Day at CocoCay.
