Take a Cruise on New York's Newest Star


After rolling out the hottest new ship of 2014 ,Quantum of the Seas, Royal Caribbean is doubling down in 2015 with a nearly identical sister vessel, Anthem of the Seas.  The ship started sailing out of Bayonne, N.J. in November, is 167800 tons and has the ability to carry 4180 passengers in state of the art comfort.  She will sail from the New York year-round; on 7 to 12 night Bahamas or Caribbean cruises during the colder months, and 5 night Bermuda and 9 night Caribbean sailings during the warmer seasons.


Anthem of the Seas boasts such innovative new features as a skydiving simulator and a class capsule on a mechanical arm that will rise high above the ship for bird's-eye views.  Also on board is the Two70, an unusual, multilevel entertainment space with floor-to-ceiling windows that  features live aerial performances as well as digital performances projected on moving screens.  Anthem also is only the second cruise ship to feature a bar with robot bartenders.

Like Quantum, Anthem isn't be quite as big as Royal Caribbean's two Oasis class vessels - the world's largest cruise ships.  But it will still rank among the five largest passenger vessels afloat and features signature amenities Royal Caribbean fans have come to love, from a 30-foo-high rock climbing wall to a FlowRider surf simulator to an H2O Zone kids water park.
