When Does Legend of the Seas Sail, and What’s on Board?

By Nicole Damiano, ASTA Verified Travel Advisor with FG Luxury Travel · Updated October 2026

Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas started sailing on July 4, 2026 from Rome, and from November 2026 it sails 6 and 8 night Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale, every one stopping at Perfect Day at CocoCay. It carries 5,610 guests at double occupancy, and January 2027 sailings were listed from $1,138 per person.

We sailed Star of the Seas in February 2026, so I know this class of ship well. Legend is the third one.

What’s new on Legend: the Royal Railway Legend Station, a train themed restaurant. The Hollywoodland Supper Club. New stalls in the AquaDome Market. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as the big show.

For families, the new Family Ocean View Balcony is 285 square feet plus a 50 square foot verandah.

The 3 night naming cruise on November 11, 2026 was listed from $796 per person for an interior.

Holiday weeks on a brand new ship go fast. If you want Christmas or spring break, book now.
