The Meyer Turku shipyard recently completed the hull assembly of the new Hero of the Seas, which is being constructed for Royal Caribbean. Meyer Turku stated that the construction process is now moving forward with seams being welded and cabins being lifted into the ship. As previously reported by Cruise Industry News, in June, Meyer Turku also lifted the ship’s glass dome into position. The 5,610-passenger vessel follows the new Legend of the Seas, which was delivered by Meyer Turku earlier this year. In 2025, Royal Caribbean and Meyer Turku signed a long-term framework agreement that secures the company rights to build at the yard through the next decade.
