Production of the third Icon-class vessel began on Friday, January 12, at the Meyer Turku.
Representatives from the ship's client organizations, Royal Caribbean Group, and Meyer Turku were present at the event.
The traditional steel-cutting ceremony kicked off more than two years of construction and outfitting work, involving thousands of professionals from various fields.
When completed, the 250,800-ton vessel, whose name will be revealed later, will play an important role in the Royal Caribbean Group's fleet as part of the Icon class, which allows for a different kind of vacation.
“With Icon III, we are further strengthening our position as builders of the world’s most advanced cruise ships. The long-term goals of Meyer Turku and the Royal Caribbean Group are being realized, and we are able to set new standards to reinforce our leadership in the maritime industry’s green transition,” says Tim Meyer, CEO of Meyer Turku.
The expected completion date for the Icon III vessel is 2026.
