Building on a legacy of more than 40 years of innovation and creative design, Royal Caribbean International has unveiled first details of the next generation of cruise holidays – Quantum cruising.

The Quantum class of ships will take a dramatic leap forwards, introducing more game-changing “firsts at sea” such as a skydiving experience, a thrilling adventure that transports guests more than 300 feet in the air on a breathtaking journey; cutting-edge transformative venues including the largest indoor sports and entertainment complex at sea with bumper cars, roller skating and more; and the cruise line’s largest and most advanced accommodation ever.

These new, larger staterooms enable innovation in design, storage and comfort including the industry’s first virtual balconies - every stateroom on Quantum of the Seas will have a view.

The much anticipated details were unveiled by stage, television and film star, Kristin Chenoweth – Godmother of Quantum of the Seas – at an exclusive event in New York City this morning.

“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 Fain, chairman, Royal Caribbean Cruises.

“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.”

Having led the cruise and leisure industry by introducing incredible signature offerings such as the first Rock Climbing Wall, ice-skating rink, FlowRider surf simulator, Central Park and AquaTheater at sea, Royal Caribbean International will advance the onboard experience even further by delivering a groundbreaking line-up of “firsts at sea” on Quantum-class ships. 

“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, 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.”

With Quantum class, Royal Caribbean International marries new innovations with significant architectural design elements to introduce spectacular spaces. 

On Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas guests will find endless possibilities with three new signature venues.
