Royal Caribbean’s fourth Icon Class ship has officially started physical construction, with the milestone being marked, this week, with a keel-laying ceremony.
The moment took place at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland, where the first block of the ship was lifted and placed on top of a layer of freshly minted coins.
At the celebration, the very first building block was put into the dry dock, where construction of the ship will take place. The teams at Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku sealed the deal – and good fortune – by placing a layer of freshly minted coins before an enormous steel block, known as the keel, was lifted and placed.
“Joining the ranks of Icon, Star and Legend of the Seas, the yet-to-be-named fourth Icon Class vacation will deliver more of the unmatched combination of experiences that defines the game-changing Icon Class. Each bold adventure brings together plenty of ways for every type of family and vacationers to make memories across adrenaline-pumping thrills and unmatched ways to chill, a variety of ways to dine and drink, and more,” Royal Caribbean said.
