Shipbuilder Meyer Turku on Monday (27 November) said the LNG-powered cruise ship Icon of the Seas has been delivered to Royal Caribbean.
It said Icon of the Seas was scheduled to depart from the shipyard on 28 of November.
Tim Meyer, CEO of Meyer Turku, said the handover of Icon of the Seas was a significant moment in the shipyard’s history.
“Icon of the Seas is the world’s largest, but above all, the world’s most advanced cruise ship. Together with Royal Caribbean, we set the bar exceptionally high in terms of design, technology, safety and reducing energy consumption,” he said in a social media post.
“Icon of the Seas is a revolutionary ship and at the same time a significant step towards the green transition, which is the shipyard’s most important competitive advantage. Such a demanding project has only been possible because we cooperate closely within the maritime cluster. In particular, I would like to highlight the finishing expertise of our supply chain. I am extremely proud of the people of Meyer Turku and everyone who has participated in this project.”
Icon of the Seas is Royal Caribbean International’s first LNG-powered cruise vessel, the first ship in Royal Caribbean’s new Icon Class.
