Make that three Quantum class ships that are on the way at Royal Caribbean.
The line today announced it had signed a contract with Germany’s Meyer Werft shipyard for a third vessel in the much-awaited new series that will begin debuting next year.
“We are encouraged by the very positive response we received from travel agents and consumers when we first announced some of the unprecedented offerings on Quantum class last month,” Royal Caribbean president and CEO Adam Goldstein says in a statement accompanying the announcement. “The Quantum class will offer vacationers more unexpected activities in the most extraordinary spaces, and a third ship will offer even more opportunities for vacationers to experience Quantum cruising.”
The as-yet-unnamed new ship will join the Royal Caribbean fleet in mid-2016, the line says. The first two vessels in the series, Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas, are scheduled to debut in fall 2014 and spring 2015, respectively.
