More features revealed for Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas

The first in the Quantum Ultra class of ships, Spectrum is set to sail from its home port in Shanghai from June this year. 

It will reportedly be the largest and most expensive ship in Asia, accomodating 4,246 passengers at double occupancy and 1,551 crew members. This winter the ship will reposition to Hong Kong to offer special holiday cruises.

At a handover ceremony in Bremerhaven, Michael Bayley, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International, said: “We are excited to welcome Spectrum of the Seas, our first Quantum Ultra class ship to the Royal Caribbean family.

“We have once again combined revolutionary ship design with the latest technologies to deliver a ship that will redefine the China cruise market. We are excited for our guests to make amazing family memories.”
