Guests will follow the travels of explorer Marco Polo on a five-course expedition of flavors and history through China, India, Italy, and more.

The signature Icon Class favorites will be back on Legend of the Seas, from the Royal Promenade’s floor-to-ceiling ocean views, the jaw-dropping “Pearl”—the world’s largest kinetic art sculpture—and the open-air Central Park lined with more than 30,500 real plants and restaurants, live music, convenient pick-up windows for sushi, champagne, sparkling wine, and more. Plus, there are plenty of ways to stay in style from the ultra-luxe and exclusive Suite Neighborhood to a redesigned three-story Ultimate Family Townhouse with spaces for the whole family.

Legend of the Seas will level up European summers in 2026 with seven-night “Western Mediterranean” adventures from Barcelona and Rome (Civitavecchia). The adventures onboard continue on shore, whether it’s stepping back in time at Rome’s Colosseum, feasting on flavors from the fishing villages of Provence (Marseille) or diving into the local cultures of Naples (Italy) and Palma De Mallorca (Spain). In November 2026, Legend of the Seas will make its Caribbean debut in Fort Lauderdale, FL, with six-night “Western Caribbean” getaways and eight-night “Southern Caribbean” vacations to the beaches of Oranjestad and Willemstad. Plus, every Caribbean vacation visits Perfect Day at CocoCay, featuring beaches, a water park, pools, swim-up bars, and more.

Legend of the Seas will also be the vacation company’s fourth ship fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and feature industry-leading environmental programs. With applications ranging from waste heat recovery systems to shore power connection, the ship will help advance Royal Caribbean Group’s journey toward introducing a net-zero cruise ship by 2035.
