After Success with Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas, KUB Awarded Projects for Icon 3 and Icon 4

Following our successful delivery of interiors for Icon of the Seas and its sister vessel Star of the Seas, KUB is honored to announce that we have been selected for two additional Icon-class projects: the upcoming third ship, now officially named Legend of the Seas, and the fourth vessel in the series (name not yet announced)

The Largest Cruise Ships Ever

Both Icon of the Seas (in service since early 2024) and Star of the Seas (set to launch in mid-2025) have redefined the standard for cruise vacations with Royal Caribbean. As the largest cruise ships ever built, the Icon-class vessels set new global records for size, capacity, and onboard innovation. With a gross tonnage of approximately 250,800 GT, a length of 365 meters, and capacity for up to 7,600 guests, these ships push the boundaries of what’s possible at sea. Icon of the Seas, currently the world’s largest cruise ship, is not only an engineering marvel but also a floating destination—featuring uniquely designed neighborhood-style public areas that seamlessly combine entertainment, dining, and immersive experiences.

Our Role in Icon 3 and Icon 4

KUB will once again contribute to the design, fabrication, and installation of the public areas aboard both the Legend of the Seas (Icon 3) and the upcoming unnamed Icon 4. Our responsibilities include creating bespoke interior elements—custom furniture, themed zones, finishes, and detailing—that align with the distinctive identities of those ships and elevate the guest experience.

KUB + Royal Caribbean: A Winning Partnership

Our continued collaboration with Royal Caribbean, as part of the Meyer Turku delivery team, reflects confidence in KUB’s ability to deliver complex, immersive hospitality interiors at sea. From Icon of the Seas to Star and now Icon 3 and Icon 4, we’re proud to support the expansion of the Icon-class fleet and shape the future of cruising design.

Stay tuned for more updates on Legend of the Seas and the newest Icon-class build — including design previews, production highlights, and installation milestones.

KUB Delivering Public Areas Disney Destiny

Alongside our ongoing work on Disney Adventure, KUB is proud to also be contributing to the interior outfitting of Disney Destiny — two spectacular new cruise ships that represent the next chapter in Disney Cruise Line’s expansion.

Currently under construction in Wismar, Disney Adventure will be the largest ship in the Disney fleet, with a gross tonnage of approximately 208,000 GT and capacity for up to 6,000 guests. Originally designed as Global Dream, the vessel has been fully reimagined by Disney and will launch from Singapore in December 2025.

At the same time, KUB is also delivering interior works for the Disney Destiny, the third ship in the Wish-class series, launching from Port Everglades, Florida, in November 2025. With a unique “Heroes and Villains” theme, Disney Destiny will feature imaginative venues and themed spaces inspired by characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. Guests can look forward to experiences like Pride Lands: Feast of the Lion King, Edna Á La Mode Sweets, Café Megara, and more. The ship combines storytelling and design in every detail, from the grand Black Panther statue in the atrium to Spider-Man on the stern.

KUB’s Dual Contribution to Disney’s Cruise Vision

Our simultaneous involvement in both Disney Adventure and Disney Destiny highlights KUB’s capacity to deliver high-quality, complex interior outfitting on multiple large-scale projects. Working closely with Disney Cruise Line, design partners, shipyards in Germany and Finland, KUB is proud to support the creation of unforgettable guest experiences that blend innovation, functionality, and the unmistakable Disney magic.

KUB Team Creating Public Spaces for the Disney Adventure Ship Built in Wismar

The KUB team is excited to have been awarded the design, production, and installation of public areas aboard the Disney Adventure, now under construction in Wismar, Germany, and scheduled to set sail for the first time in 2026. Originally planned as the Global Dream for Dream Cruises, the ship was acquired and transformed by Disney Cruise Line following the insolvency of MV Werften.

Why this project matters
– Disney Adventure will be Disney’s largest cruise ship, measuring approximately 208,000 gross tons and 342 m in length, with capacity for around 6,000 guests and 2,300–2,500 crew.
– The vessel is tailored for the Asian market, launching its inaugural season from Singapore on December 15, 2025, and operating for at least five years out of the Marina Bay Cruise Centre, with 3‑, 4‑, and 5‑night itineraries and no port calls.
– For this project, KUB is responsible for crafting unique interior elements—bespoke furniture, themed details, color schemes, and finishes—that reflect the narrative of each themed zone.

KUB in the role of Disney Cruise Line partner
As a selected specialist in large-scale interior and fit-out projects, KUB brings expertise in design, manufacture, and logistics. The project is carried out in close collaboration with design studios and the shipyard overseen by the Meyer Werft group. Our goal is to create vibrant, thematic, and flawlessly executed public spaces that will delight guests and enrich the Disney storytelling experience.

STAR OF THE SEAS – the latest addition to Royal Caribbean’s fleet and sister ship to Icon of the Seas, is setting new standards within the cruise industry. This impressive vessel will offer guests a wide range of futuristic accommodations – from exclusive suites to cabins with panoramic views, all designed to create a unique sense of connection to the ocean. With innovative approaches to comfort, the ship will provide exceptional dining experiences and numerous luxurious spaces for relaxation.

In October, the ship was moved out of dry dock, where the fundamental construction processes were completed, and transferred to the outfitting pier. Over the next few months, the ship will continue to take its final shape both inside and out. Our team is proud to have contributed to the design and execution of interior furnishings for the ship’s numerous public spaces. Being involved in such a large and complex project fills us with pride, as we are part of an innovative approach that will set new milestones in the cruise industry. Here, you can watch the video of the ship’s float out from dry dock, and here, the installation of the AquaDome.

ICON OF THE SEAS – the largest passenger ship ever built and the largest water amusement park at sea, is handed over to the client. 20 floors divided into eight neighborhoods and more than 40 bars and entertainment venues. The ship, which measures 365 meters in length and weighs 250,800 tons, was built at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland.
