A New Baby Conceived – First Cut on Spectrum of the Seas

Excitement was in the air on Tuesday at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, as Royal Caribbean International marked the official start of construction by cutting the first piece of steel for its new Quantum Ultra ship. The next engineering marvel in the innovative cruise line’s lineup will officially be named Spectrum of the Seas.

The new Quantum Ultra Class ship is expected to debute in 2019 and will evolve from the innovations of Quantum Class high tech features to create a class of it’s own. The revolutionary ship will specifically be designed for guests in China and the Asia-Pacific region, and will feature cutting-edge and unprecedented experiences and amenities.

Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International said “Today is a very special day in the development of our new Quantum Ultra ship, Spectrum of the Seas. We are now one step closer to delighting our guests in Asia Pacific with this remarkable ship, Spectrum will be another giant leap forward in vessel design and guest experiences that will provide travelers with ample opportunities to create unforgettable memories.”

As usual, the cruise line is being coy about what possible new features will be added to it’s already expansive and unmatched array of features and amenities only found on Royal Caribbean including, jaw-dropping, Broadway-style entertainment and industry-acclaimed programming that appeals to families and adventurous cruisers alike. With already so many ‘Firsts at Sea’ it is difficult to imagine what they will come up with next!

Any guesses as to what new features she might have?
