Today in Bremerhaven Meyer Werft delivered the 168,600-gt cruise ship Anthem of the Seas to the US cruise operator Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (Miami), Meyer Werft said in its press release.
The second ship of the Quantum class sets new standards in terms of eco-friendliness. It features highly energy-efficient systems, optimised hydrodynamics, heat recovery, an effective underwater paint coating, a state-of-the-art exhaust gas treatment plant (hybrid scrubber) as well as energy-saving LED lighting systems.
Sophisticated alarm, safety and communication systems combined with the latest technology in propulsion and navigation are typical for Royal Caribbean cruise ships. The same high standard applies to entertainment and interiors.
The ship will depart from Bremerhaven to Southampton on 14 April 2015.
Designed to revolutionize the industry, Anthem of the Seas will sail its inaugural season from Southampton before the ship repositions to its permanent homeport of New York in November.
