The cruise company has expanded its partnership with the Meyer Turku shipyard to deliver two additional Icon Class vessels by 2029 and 2030.

The 6,000-guest vessel will debut in 2028, operating alongside the Carnival Jubilee to strengthen the company’s year-round operations from Texas.

The new ship has started open-water testing in Turku, Finland, as Royal Caribbean prepares it for its European debut this summer.

Princess Cruises’ newest ship, Star Princess, has completed its first-ever transit of the Panama Canal, marking a milestone in the vessel’s inaugural season and reinforcing the line’s long relationship with the route.

A new Spectrum of the Seas lineup will give travelers more ways to explore Asia, with longer itineraries, new one-way routes, and seasonal sailings from Shanghai, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.

The new Voyager class ships are scheduled for delivery in late 2035, 2038, and 2039

The new foundation formalizes Royal Caribbean Group’s broader social-impact work and aligns it with the company’s SEA the Future framework.

The new ship has reached a key stage in its build, signaling steady progress toward its planned debut in 2027.

MSC Group is expanding its portfolio of private destinations with Sandy Cay, an island scheduled to open in 2028 alongside Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve.
