Yesterday marked an important milestone in the development of Royal Caribbean’s newest class of ships, Quantum class, with Anthem of
the Seas receiving its first block as the keel was lowered into place.The keel-laying signifies the beginning of the ship’s physical
construction. During the ceremony, a 620-ton block measuring 59 feet by
121 feet (18 x 23 meters) was lifted into the building dock with an
800-ton crane.The groundbreaking Quantum-class ships will debut new unprecedented
features, such as RipCord by iFLY, the first skydiving experience at
sea; the North Star, an engineering marvel that transports guests more
than 300 feet above the ocean; transformative venues, such as The
SeaPlex, 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 staterooms ever, including the industry’s first-ever
Virtual Balcony staterooms, which offers expansive, real-time views of
the ocean and exciting destinations for interior staterooms.Anthem of the Seas will debut in spring 2015 following the launch of
her sister-ship Quantum of the Seas in autumn 2014. Each ship spans 16
decks, encompasses 167,800 gross registered tons, carries 4,180 guests
at double occupancy and features 2,090 staterooms.
