Meyer Turku has landed an order from Royal Caribbean Group to build two additional Icon‑class cruise ships, slated for delivery in 2029 and 2030, extending the Finnish shipyard’s production into the next decade and reinforcing the country’s maritime sector.

Meyer Turku will invest roughly €200 million in upgrades to its infrastructure, logistics and a new headquarters for about 700 staff, while the yard reported rising revenues of €2.1 billion in 2025. Both companies highlighted the collaboration’s economic impact for Finland and its role in advancing shipbuilding technology, with assurances that safety and labour standards are being closely monitored.
