TURKU AND HELSINKI , FINLAND ils . fi SINCE 1988
After more than seven years of dreaming , planning and building , Royal Caribbean International ’ s highly anticipated Icon of the Seas has become a reality . Constructed over the course of 900 days in Turku , Finland , the ship is jampacked with innovative entertainment features .
Along the way , the Turku shipyard has witnessed some never-before-seen feats , such as the installation of the single largest glass and steel structure to be lifted onto a cruise ship .
“ Installing AquaDome was certainly memorable ,” says Olli Jantunen , the Project Manager for Icon of the Seas . At the time , Jantunen was still recovering from Covid and could have stayed home with good cause . Nevertheless , he stole away to the shipyard to see how the installation of the massive glass dome got started .
“ But I didn ’ t stick around for the entire thing ,” he laughs .
AquaDome is a solid business card for both Caribbean and Meyer Turku . “ Our customers may have some wild ideas , but we work hard to make them come true ,” confirms Jantunen who has made a career working with these big ships . seatec 2024 11
