The Legend of the Seas made its maiden visit to Perfect Day CocoCay on November 9, 2026, according to an update shared by Royal Caribbean.
Having debuted in the United States earlier this week, the new Icon-class vessel visited the port as part of a preview cruise from Fort Lauderdale.
Royal Caribbean’s private island destination in the Bahamas was the only destination included in the itinerary of the three-night voyage, which also included a day at sea before returning to Port Everglades.
The maiden call was marked by a fireworks display, which took place as the vessel sailed away from Perfect Day CocoCay.
The Legend of the Seas is now offering a christening voyage ahead of kicking off a series of six- to eight-night cruises departing from Fort Lauderdale.
The itineraries will feature visits to destinations in the Southern, Eastern and Western Caribbean, such as Cozumel, Mexico; Oranjestad, Aruba; and Cabo Rojo, Dominican Republic. All the sailings also feature a visit to Perfect Day CocoCay.
With the Star of the Seas sailing from Port Canaveral and the Icon of the Seas sailing from Miami, Legend’s maiden U.S. season also marks the first time that an Icon-class ship sails from Port Everglades.
The series of vessels will debut in another homeport in 2027, as the Icon of the Seas repositions to Galveston in mid-August.
The ship will be replaced in PortMiami by the new Hero of the Seas, which is currently under construction at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland.
Continuing the Icon series, the vessel will kick off a series of weeklong cruises to the Caribbean from its Florida homeport on August 11, 2027.
Royal Caribbean will introduce three additional Icon-class vessels, with a new ship in the series debuting per year through 2030.
