Along with the steel cutting, the ship also got its official name – Spectrum of the Seas.

Set to debut in 2019, the ship is expected to be the next evolution of the Quantum class and will “feature cutting-edge and unprecedented experiences and amenities”, said the cruise line in a statement.

Like sister ships Quantum of the Seas and Ovation of the Seas, Spectrum of the Seas is designed for guests in China and Asia-Pacific.
