Description
The mammoth, ocean liner Anthem of the Seas berthed in 101 dock Southampton UK, which will be its home port for the 2015 summer season.
Anthem of the Seas is the third largest cruise ship in the world, owned by Royal Caribbean and painted blue instead of the usual white we see in the Port of Southampton.
With 16 decks and a capacity for almost 5,000 passengers at a time, the MS Anthem of the Seas, is truly an engineering marvel.
On board, guests will experience robotic bartenders, be able to take part in circus skills training activities and even go on a virtual sky dive.
Passengers with a head for heights can try out the North Star aerial observatory, a glass capsule that takes guests more than 300 feet above the ocean for panoramic sea views.
As well as skydiving and circus training, there are also Flow Rider surfing simulators on board so kids (and adults) can ride the waves and, in case the weather is bad, Sea Plex is the largest indoor sports and entertainment complex at sea with activities including bumper cars and roller skating.
For foodies, there are 18 distinctive on board restaurants, ranging from traditional American to Jamie's Italian, a traditional pub and Japanese cuisine.
Some of the more unusual eating experiences include Wonderland (serving liquid lobster, tempura salmon caviare and truffled eggs), Izumi Japanese Cuisine and Devin Alexander’s Devinly Decadence restaurant.
The ship also has an adult-only Solarium and spa with shaded cabanas, a Jacuzzi and adjoining bistro.
The 1,300-seat theatre will show Queen-themed West End musical We Will Rock You as well as a cabaret show and an original production for Royal Caribbean called The Gift.
Anthem of the Seas spans 16 guest decks, encompasses 167,800 gross registered tonnes, carries 4,180 guests at double occupancy and features 2,090 staterooms in total.
After a summer sailing from Southampton, New York Harbour will become the ship’s permanent home in November, sailing regularly from Cape Liberty Cruise Port to Bermuda, the Caribbean and Canada and New England.
