Five Reasons Why We Can’t Wait for Anthem of the Seas

It is less than a year until Royal Caribbean launch Anthem of the Seas, the second cruise ship in the liner’s Quantum class. Sailing exclusively from Southampton; Anthem of the Seas will take in some of the most beautiful Mediterranean destinations whilst treating passengers to unparalleled luxury and a fantastic array of activities.

Rides on the North Star are complimentary and bookings can be made for sunrise and sunset experiences.

Complimentary reservations for the simulator need to be made online before setting sail.
