Royal Caribbean International has performed the first steel cutting for the second ship in its revolutionary Icon Class. The ceremony took place at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland. The ship, which will be named soon, will set sail in 2025, following the debut of Icon of the Seas in January 2024.
The Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku teams working on the construction of the second Icon-class ship attended the traditional ceremony yesterday. This major milestone marks the official start of construction and the beginning of a series of key design and construction moments involving thousands of innovators in fields such as design, naval engineering, and architecture over the next few months.
Royal Caribbean's next ship, along with a third in the Icon Class, will join Icon to usher in a new era of vacations for years to come. Each ship will be a combination of the best of every vacation experience, from resort getaways to relaxing on the beach and exciting theme park adventures, where every family member and traveler can create unforgettable vacation memories.
More details about the ship, including its name, will be revealed later.
