Good to Know
This was the announcement video, posted in February 2025, so it’s a preview, not a tour. It doesn’t show the finished ship, just Royal Caribbean talking about the Icon Class and what’s coming with Legend.
If you loved Icon or Star of the Seas, Legend is the one to watch, especially if you’ve wanted to try this class on a European sailing instead of the Caribbean.
