Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas completes extensive revitalisation

Royal Caribbean International’s Legend of the Seas emerged from a month-long $50 million drydock in Singapore and will show off an array of new features for its remaining Asia season before returning to Europe. The Vision-class Legend of the Seas is the most recent ship in the fleet to receive Oasis-class amenities, extensive upgrades and a bow-to-stern makeover.

Legend of the Seas will “wow” guests with acclaimed industry enhancements, such as popular specialty restaurants: Park Café, Chef’s Table, Chops Grille and Izumi Asian Cuisine, along with new spots for an evening cocktail at the 60’s inspired R Bar or Viking Crown Lounge nightclub. Onboard entertainment options now include an outdoor cinema screen, perfect for alfresco film viewing and the addition of aerial entertainment experiences in the Centrum, the main gathering place on the ship. New and updated staterooms, flat-panel TVs, digital signage and Wi-Fi throughout the ship all add to the contemporary guest experience onboard.

Through March, guests can enjoy the newly refurbished ship as she sails Southeast Asia itineraries from its Singapore homeport. Itinerary options include: Malaysia (three nights), Southeast Asia (four or five nights), Bangkok and Ko Samui (five nights) and Borneo (seven nights). Beginning in April, the ship will sail a four-night Southeast Asia itinerary roundtrip from Singapore and then reposition to Europe for the summer season. It will begin by sailing seven-night Western Mediterranean itineraries roundtrip from Rome.

Legend of the Seas divides its 2013 Europe summer between the Italian homeports of Rome (Civitavecchia, Italy) and Venice (Italy). From May through August, the ship will sail a seven-night Western Mediterranean itinerary, calling at Genoa (Italy), Provence (Marseilles, France), and Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca and Valencia (Spain). A nine-night sailing of the Italian peninsula, departing 31 August, will bring Legend of the Seas to Venice, where it will offer guests 10-night Greek Isles and 11-night Greece and Turkey itineraries in September and October. The ship will then return to the Caribbean to offer Southern Caribbean and Panama Canal sailings.
