Missed Out? Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas Adds Extra Sailings After Finishing Ahead of Schedule
- Royal Caribbean's 'Icon Class' ship, Legend of the Seas, will arrive three weeks ahead of schedule next year, offering more opportunities for cruisers to visit Western Mediterranean destinations like Naples, Barcelona, and Mallorca.
Cruising superfans are celebrating the news that the third of Royal Caribbean's 'Icon Class' ships, Legend of the Seas, will be arriving three weeks ahead of schedule next year. That means more chances to get on some of its earliest sailings to Western Mediterranean stops in Naples, Barcelona, Mallorca, Marseille, Alicante and Malaga.
The inaugural sailing has been pushed up to July 11, and will be making a round trip from Rome (Civitavecchia) to Naples, Barcelona, Mallorca, Marseille and back to Rome. Guests booked on the initial August 8, 2026, cruise have the option to book on this or two other new sailings or stay on their original planned trip.

Legend of the Seas will also make this same itinerary from July 18-25, and then offer an 8-night, one-way "Legend Showcase Mediterranean" cruise, which will be making stops at Rome, Naples, Mallorca, Alicante, Malaga and Barcelona. As of today, there's still availability on the July 18 sailing, starting at $2,043/person and the July 25 sailing, starting at $2,327/person. If they sell out, there are still plenty of Mediterranean sailings running through October.
A once-in-a-lifetime 13-night transatlantic cruise from Barcelona on October 25 also still has availability, and you'll get to experience Legend in both the Mediterranean and Atlantic waters as she heads back to Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, to prepare for Caribbean itineraries.
Once in the Caribbean, the newest Icon Class ship will kick off 6- to 8-night itineraries to the Western Caribbean and Southern Caribbean. All of its sailings will be making stops at Royal Caribbean's private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay.
