ROYAL Caribbean International’s (RCI) groundbreaking Quantum of the Seas will be calling on Singapore next year to offer two voyages on its vessel, featuring a range of new onboard experiences.
The first of RCI’s Quantum-class ships, she will make her global debut this November and embark on a Quantum Global Odyssey between New York to Shanghai.
As part of that voyage, the ship will arrive in Singapore on June 11, 2015. Itineraries offered from Singapore are: a three-night cruise to Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang) on June 12, and a nine-night one-way cruise to Shanghai (Baoshan), with stops at Ho Chi Minh City (Phu My), Hong Kong (overnight) and Xiamen along the way.
Before reaching Singapore, Quantum of the Seas will sail for 14-nights from Dubai in May and stop at Muscat, Kochi (overnight) and Penang.
These cruises go on sale from today for Royal Caribbean’s Crown & Anchor Society loyalty members and on May 22 for the general public.
Royal Caribbean’s Quantum-class ships allow guests to partake in first-ever on-board experiences such as skydiving, while boasting new signature venues such as sporting and entertainment spot SeaPlex and the multi-level Two70º where passengers can watch live performances, videos, hit the ice bar and enjoy 270-degree views of the sea through floor-to-ceiling glass walls (TTG Asia e-Daily, April 18, 2013).
Quantum of the Seas will also introduce Dynamic Dining, a new culinary experience featuring 18 restaurant concepts, including five complimentary restaurants each with its own distinctive cuisine which guests can choose from.
Specialty restaurants also include the first-at-sea outpost of Jamie’s Italian, the hugely popular restaurant by Jamie Oliver.
Stateroom offerings on Quantum-class ships are nine per cent larger than those on Oasis-class ships. Interior staterooms also come with virtual balconies that offer expansive real-time views of the ocean and destinations.
Multi-generational families can make use of family-connected staterooms, which link three different stateroom categories to form a special layout providing separate bedrooms and bathrooms for occupants. Also new are studio staterooms for single travellers, three junior categories and larger loft suites.
