🚂🍴 DINNER… BUT MAKE IT A JOURNEY ALONG THE SILK ROUTE 👀

One of the most unique experiences John got to try onboard Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas was Royal Railway, Legend Station.

And this is definitely NOT your usual speciality restaurant.

You step inside a full-size railway carriage and, over 90 minutes, travel virtually from China to Italy along the ancient Silk Routes, inspired by the journeys of Marco Polo.

🌏 Digital windows change the scenery as you travel
🚂 Sounds and movement make it feel like the train is actually moving
🥟 Your food changes as you reach each destination
China → India → Persia → Turkey → Italy

Think dumplings in China, Indian flavours, lamb or fish as you travel through Turkey, then finishing in Venice with an Italian dessert. 😍

It’s part restaurant, part show and part journey, with only a small number of guests experiencing it at each sitting.

And John got to try it for himself on Legend’s exclusive first voyage. 🚢💜

THIS is the kind of thing we mean when we say the ship is part of the holiday.

Would you book this onboard? 👀
