The yard
The story so far
Shipbuilding in Turku dates to 1737, but the modern yard's signature era began when it delivered the Oasis-class lead ships as STX Finland and then, under the Meyer family from 2014, took on the Icon class — the largest cruise ships ever built. Icon, Star and Legend of the Seas all took shape in its single vast drydock on the Baltic.
The yard's specialty is extreme-scale passenger ships with LNG propulsion: alongside the Icon class it built Costa Smeralda and the Mein Schiff series. Hull blocks arrive by barge from partner yards and are assembled under some of the largest gantry cranes in Europe.
