Royal Caribbean, the world’s largest cruise line, has announced a fleet expansion with the order of a 3rd Icon class cruise ship that will enter service in 2025.
The cruise ship will join its two sister ships – to be delivered in 2022 and 2024, respectively – in Royal Caribbean International’s fleet, an industry leader in innovation, clean technology, and breakthrough ship design.
Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International, gave the following statement: “These are exciting times for Royal Caribbean, and we have an incredible partner in Meyer Turku to bring to life now three vessels of what will be a remarkable class of ships.
Building on our vision with the addition of a third order is a testament to our confidence in the innovative design and energy-efficient technology and engineering that will, without a doubt, make Icon class a game changer.”
