Royal Caribbean International has added three more sailings to Legend of the Seas’ debut programme thanks to its construction running ahead of schedule.

The additional cruises will depart from Civitavecchia, Italy, on 11, 18 and 25 July before the ship moves to Barcelona and starts offering seven-night round-trip western Mediterranean departures from there.

The eight-night one-way western Mediterranean sailing to Barcelona includes calls to Naples, Italy; Majorca, Alicante, Malaga and Barcelona, all Spain. Prices start from £1,900

The ship will no longer visit La Spezia, Italy, during the 2026 inaugural summer season and will instead visit Marseille, France, or sail an additional sea day depending on the itinerary.
