About Quantum of the Seas
Quantum of the Seas, delivered by Meyer Werft in 2014, is the lead ship of the Quantum class, which introduced the North Star observation capsule on a crane arm, the RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulator, the Two70 lounge with its wall of projection screens and the SeaPlex hall with bumper cars. She also has the Bionic Bar with robotic bartenders and was christened by Kristin Chenoweth. Recent seasons have alternated between Alaska from Seattle and Australia from Brisbane, and her 2026-27 schedule follows the same pattern before a move to Singapore.
