Royal Caribbean has revealed the details of its upcoming ship, Quantum of the Seas.
The vessel, which will have a host of industry firsts, is due to be launched in autumn 2014.
‘North Star’, sky diving, bumper cars and a ‘Seaplex’ are all features that will be part of the new ship which was presented in a Hollywood style movie featuring the ship’s godmother, Kristin Chenoweth.
North Star is a huge mechanical arm with a viewing platform that rises above the ship and was inspired by the London Eye. Seaplex is the biggest sports complex at sea and another industry first, as is sky diving.
“This new generation of ships gave us an opportunity to make another leap in vessel design. Innovation has always been part of our DNA and we have taken advantage of all that creativity to design Quantum cruising,” stated Richard D. Fain, chairman & CEO, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. “The unique features on Quantum of the Seas will boggle our guests’ minds, but the real strength of the design is how our people have integrated all these diverse components to create a comfortable and exciting experience.”
“If you Google ‘Quantum’ it comes up as a unit of measurement,” he continued. “What we were looking for was a measurable step forward in the cruise ship experience. Something that was measurably more exciting and measurably more interactive.
“We are excited to be introducing major advancements in ship design and offerings on Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas,” said Adam Goldstein, president & CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “The innovative spirit of our brand is alive and well, and with Quantum class, we will deliver more unexpected activities in the most extraordinary spaces. Our guests should prepare to be wowed.”
