Royal Caribbean has selected six emerging artists from the Caribbean and Central America for the Legend of the Seas. The ship debuts in Europe in July 2026 and features their destination inspired artwork.
The Artist Discovery Program received 250 applications. Artists include Giovanni Abath from Curacao, Vanessa Dalla Costa from Trinidad and Tobago, and others from Puerto Rico, Mexico and Costa Rica. The Legend of the Seas operates seven night Western Mediterranean sailings from Barcelona and Rome before moving to the Caribbean.
Jay Schneider shared “Since its introduction on Icon of the Seas, the Artist Discovery Program has continued to evolve how we connect guests with the places we visit by championing up-and-coming artists and giving them a global stage to showcase their work.”
