https://www.instagram.com/p/CtgxT0mqiza/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Icon will depart from the Turku shipyard for the first time ever during the weekend, when Icon's week-long sea trials begin. We are once again very happy that we get to celebrate yet another significant achievement, as Icon leaves the outfitting pier for the first time, and continues her journey through the Turku archipelago towards the sea. The sea trial will involve testing of Icon's systems and features that can't be tested while docked. Thank you to everyone involved in the Icon project! Icon's seaworthiness is the result of the combined expertise of Meyer's top professionals from many diferent fields. Let's wish a good voyage to Icon of the Seas, and prepare to welcome Icon back to the shipyard after her trials! #IconoftheSeas #MeyerTurku #RoyalCaribbean #SeaTrials

We are building a new luxury world biggest cruise ship, RCCL Icon Of The Seas in Meyer Turku Shipyard. Our scope is build 61pcs. luxury cabin. Cabins are built on board. The largest cabin, the Royal Suite, is a two-story 130m2. At the moment we are preparing our areas for the ship's first sea trial. According to the plan, the ship leaves the yard on Sunday.

Looking through some of @Eremita85 recent photos of the ship after they removed some of the protective tarpaulins, it's looking like no access to the bridge wings.

Another great image of the AquaDome from Nick Weir.

Some visitors got to take photos at the shipyard. Matthias Tavel Matthias Tavel Pieces from the top deck arch in the background. Veronique Mahé A piece of the Boardwalk. I believe that this bow section belongs to Ilma, for the Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection (yard #J35) being built at the shipyard. :) Matthias Tavel

Tonight's delivery from Norway onboard the Baltic Amelie makes it 18 lifeboats. 😄 Port webcam image: And I think that the two rescue boats spotted in an Instagram photo by @finki.22 complete the collection.

The ship name on the lifeboat. ✔ The ship name on the ship. ◻ 📷 Daniele Aceto

Well that previous quote didn't work, did it. ☹️ This is the image I wanted to show.

I believe that there will be the big name on the hull as well. 😊 Utopia of the Seas has something similar.
