Royal Caribbean’s first Quantum Ultra ship to be named Spectrum of the Seas

Exciting news again from Royal Caribbean as they announce Quantum Ultra ship is to be named Spectrum of the Seas.

The next evolution of the line’s high-tech Quantum class of ships is due to enter service in 2019.

The vessel will specifically be designed for passengers in China and the Asia-Pacific region.

Spectrum of the Seas will feature unspecified “cutting-edge and unprecedented experiences and amenities”.

The official start of construction of the ship began yesterday with the cutting of the first piece of steel at the Meyer Wefft shipyard in Germany.

Royal Caribbean hasn’t said whether the new ship will be bigger than the line’s three existing Quantum Class vessels. But in a press release issued Tuesday it said Spectrum of the Seas would represent an evolution of the class.

Measuring 168,666 tons a piece, Royal Caribbean’s three Quantum Class ships are tied as the fifth largest cruise vessels in the world.

Here is a reminder of some of Qantums facilities….

The Quantum class ships are best known for excelling in two specific areas: entertainment and dining.

The Quantum class ships offer a great variety of entertainment on its ships. Impressive shows, amazing venues and one-of-a-kind experiences.

Royal Caribbean designed the Quantum class ships to offer some impressive new experiences that stand out.

North Star

North Star is an observation pod that is attached to a giant arm on top of each Quantum class ship. North Star takes passengers 300 feet above the sea to see area around them.

Guests enter the observation pod and then are raised up in the air provide views all around the ship.  Whether in port or at sea, North Star offers the best views on any cruise ship.

Ripcord by iFly

You know what is a lot of fun? Sky diving. You know what is incredibly scary? Jumping out of an airplane.

Ripcord by iFly is the perfect solution, offering a sky diver simulator for guests to enjoy without the risk of jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft.

After a short orientation, guests take turns entering a wind tunnel, where they will experience the sensation of sky diving.

Two70

Royal Caribbean built a brand new venue not available on any other ship with Two70.

Located on the aft of the ship, Two70 offers a sweeping two hundred and seventy degree view of the ocean.  That alone might be a great area to enjoy the view, but there is much more to see here.

Throughout the day, different shows and events will take place.  Chief among them are the Roboshows that feature amazing robot screens that move, dance and synchronize together to provide the kind of show you have never seen.

Then there’s the premier evening show in Two70, which offers a multi-sensory show that combines music, visual effects, acrobats and more to deliver a one-of-a-kind show.

Im sure there will be lots of new exciting plans for this Quantum Ultra ship, update you when I learn more………………………….
