The very first piece of steel has been cut for the first ship in Royal Caribbean’s brand new Project Sunshine ships. The steel cutting took place at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, where the two ships will be built.
As
part of this announcement, the line announced the names of the two
new Quantum class ships – Quantum of the Seas, set to debut in fall
2014, and Anthem of the Seas, which will follow in spring 2015.
Royal
Caribbean looks to take bold and innovative steps with this new class
of ships. Building on their legacy of ‘at sea firsts’ such as
rock-climbing walls, ice-skating rinks, surf simulators, zip lines
and even a tropical park with over 12,000 live plants, the line is
designing and building unprecedented new experiences and amenities
into this new class.
Eager
for more details? Stay tuned as over the new few months, Royal
Caribbean will make more announcements about what passengers can
expect from Quantum and Anthem of the Seas.
