The 'Legend of the Seas', recently launched from the Meyer Turku shipyards in Finland, made a technical stop at the port of Tarragona. The stopover, which went largely unnoticed due to being in the early morning and lasting less than two hours, occurred during its inaugural journey from Málaga to Civitavecchia, Rome.
The vessel arrived at Tarragona's cruise terminal around five in the morning and was greeted with a traditional water jet from a tugboat, marking its first visit to the port. No passengers boarded or disembarked, and by seven in the morning, it had already resumed its route towards Italy.
With a length of 365 meters, the 'Legend of the Seas' features 2,805 cabins spread across twenty decks, with a maximum capacity for 7,600 passengers and 2,350 crew members.
For entertainment, the cruise ship offers eight themed neighborhoods, seven swimming pools (one of which is the largest on a cruise ship), and a pool located 47 meters above the sea. It also boasts a water park with six slides, a surf simulator, an ice rink, the AquaTheater for acrobatic shows, zip lines, and rock climbing walls.
Additionally, it includes the AquaDomne glass structure offering a 220-degree view of the sea, 28 restaurants, and forty bars and lounges, as well as dedicated areas for children and teenagers.
The 'Legend of the Seas' will embark on its first official passenger voyage this Saturday from Civitavecchia, with an eight-day itinerary including stops in Palma de Mallorca, Marseille, La Spezia, and Naples, with the main embarkation in Barcelona.
This will be the company's fourth ship powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). After its Mediterranean route until October 24th, it will head to Fort Lauderdale (Florida) to operate routes in the Caribbean.
