Royal Caribbean announced in a statement that it has confirmed with Meyer Turku the order of a sixth and seventh Icon Class ship to be delivered in summer 2029 and summer 2030, respectively.
The firm did not provide financial details or mention that the vessels will be LNG-powered, but the previous four Icon Class ships feature LNG propulsion.
The Icon Class ships are luxury liners with a tonnage of about 250,800 GT and enough room for around 7,600 passengers.
Royal Caribbean noted that the order is part of the company’s long-term framework agreement with Meyer Turku that secures the group’s access to shipbuilding capacity through 2036 and includes the previously announced Icon 5 order to be delivered in 2028.
The Icon 7 order is subject to customary conditions, including financing.
To date, Meyer Turku has delivered two Icon Class ships for Royal Caribbean Group including Icon of the Seas (January 2024) and Star of the Seas (August 2025).
The third ship in the class – Legend of the Seas – will debut in June 2026 in the Western Mediterranean, while the fourth in the Icon class, Hero of the Seas, will follow in 2027.
