The world’s largest cruise operator, Royal Caribbean Cruises, continues its expansion with the new flagship Legend of the Seas, equipped with state-of-the-art Bluetraker technology.
Record-Breaking Capacity and Maritime Innovation
The newest member of the prestigious Icon class fleet will accommodate an impressive 7,000 passengers, setting a new milestone in the cruise industry. This remarkable capacity confirms the ongoing trend of increasing ship sizes, making luxury sea vacations accessible to more travelers than ever before.
Particularly noteworthy is the onboard water park designed by Universal Studios – the renowned master of themed entertainment experiences. This unique fusion of maritime architecture and entertainment industry expertise promises an unforgettable experience for passengers of all ages.
Bluetraker Technology for Safe Navigation
The vessel will be equipped with the Bluetraker LRIT and Bluetraker SSAS Arctic system, the same proven technology already operating successfully aboard sister ship Icon of the Seas. This advanced equipment ensures:
- Long Range Identification and Tracking for long-distance vessel position monitoring,
- Ship Security Alert System for the highest level of security,
- Arctic bundle configuration adapted for demanding navigation conditions.
Journey to the Seas
In May, the Bluetraker Arctic bundle was shipped to the prestigious Wärtsilä Hamburg shipyard, where final preparations are underway before the first sea trials. German precision and Finnish technological excellence combine to perfect this floating creation.
Legend of the Seas will commence regular passenger operations next year, becoming the new flagship of the Royal Caribbean fleet and offering thousands of passengers an unparalleled cruising experience, backed by reliable Bluetraker technology.
