Royal Caribbean has officially named Legend of the Seas, the newest ship in its Icon Class, during a ceremony in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The event was held on Veterans Day, with retired U.S. Air Force General Lori J. Robinson serving as godmother.
The ceremony also recognised the service of U.S. veterans while observing the maritime tradition of bestowing safekeeping on the ship, its crew and guests.
Legend of the Seas joins Royal Caribbean’s growing Icon Class fleet following its inaugural season in the Mediterranean.
The ship will now operate six-night Western Caribbean and eight-night Southern Caribbean itineraries from Fort Lauderdale.
Selected sailings will also call at Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas, Royal Caribbean’s private island destination.
