If you’ve been waiting for a cruise that combines adventure, family fun, and unforgettable destinations, Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas is the one to watch. Set to sail Europe in summer 2026 and make its Caribbean debut from Fort Lauderdale in November, this ship promises experiences that go beyond the ordinary.

Introducing Legend of the Seas

Legend of the Seas isn’t just another cruise ship, it is the sister ship of Icon of the Seas and is a floating vacation playground. Designed for families, couples, and travelers who crave variety, it’s packed with activities, dining, and entertainment for every type of traveler. On top of that, it’s powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), part of Royal Caribbean’s push toward a net-zero cruise ship by 2035. That means you can enjoy all the thrills knowing your adventure is a little kinder to the planet.

What Makes Legend of the Seas Unique

The ship is divided into eight neighborhoods, each with its own personality. From adrenaline-pumping thrills to chill-out spots, there’s something for everyone:
