Seabourn Legend is a Seabourn Cruise Line cruise ship, constructed by Schichau-Seebeckwerft in Bremerhaven, Germany and put into service for Kloster Cruise in February 1992. The ship was originally named Royal Viking Queen, and operated on various crossings for Royal Viking Line, a Kloster subsidiary.
In 1995, the vessel's name was changed to Queen Odyssey after Cunard Line's purchase of the line in 1994. It remained in operation for Royal Viking Line until January 1996, before joining its sister ships at Seabourn with its current name.
The Seabourn Legend was featured in the 1997 film Speed 2: Cruise Control. In the movie, Sandra Bullock is trapped on the ship, where navigation computers has been reprogrammed by a computer hacker, setting the ship on a collision course with a supertanker.
It is the identical sister ship of the Seabourn Spirit and Seabourn Pride.
