Anthem of the Seas

Welcome Aboard Anthem of the Seas

Introducing Anthem of the Seas, a bold standout in the Royal Caribbean fleet that brings a sophisticated, tech-forward energy to the high seas. As a central member of the Quantum Class, this ship was designed to break the mould, blending cutting-edge innovation with the classic comforts that travellers love. Whether you're seeking a high-octane getaway or a peaceful retreat, you'll find that this ship delivers a remarkable balance of excitement and relaxation, making it a fantastic choice for those who want their holiday to feel truly modern and expansive.

The Atmosphere

The mood on board is electric and perpetually buzzing with activity, yet it remains remarkably easy to find quiet pockets of serenity when you need to recharge. During the day, the ship is a playground for families and thrill-seekers alike, with energy radiating from the sports centres and pool decks. As the sun dips below the horizon, the focus shifts to a more refined, adult-oriented energy in the lounges and entertainment venues, where the clever use of floor-to-ceiling glass and digital displays makes you feel deeply connected to the ocean even while indoors. It’s an environment that feels polished and intentionally designed, ensuring that every guest finds their own rhythm throughout their time on board.

Elevated Experiences

For those looking to add a layer of exclusivity to their journey, the ship offers a range of suites and associated benefits that elevate the entire experience. Guests staying in select suites enjoy access to the Coastal Kitchen, a private dining room that features a more intimate, refined menu, alongside a dedicated lounge where they can relax away from the general crowd. These arrangements provide a seamless level of service and comfort, allowing you to enjoy all the big-ship thrills while having a private sanctuary to return to whenever you prefer a quieter, more personal touch.

Signature Highlights

• The North Star observation capsule, which lifts guests over 90 metres above the ocean for breathtaking, 360-degree views.

• RipCord by iFLY, a thrilling skydiving simulator that lets you experience the sensation of freefall in a controlled, safe environment.

• The SeaPlex, a transformative indoor space that serves as an active hub for activities like bumper cars, roller skating, and basketball.

• Two70, an innovative, multi-level great room that features floor-to-ceiling windows by day and immersive, high-tech digital performances by night.

• An impressive culinary programme that features a wide variety of global flavours, including the imaginative, multisensory dining experience found at Wonderland.

What Stands Out

What makes this ship so special is its commitment to technology that actually enhances your time on board rather than just acting as a gimmick. The way the ship uses space, particularly with the Two70 area and the SeaPlex, shows a thoughtful approach to keeping guests engaged, no matter the weather. We recommend it because it hits that sweet spot between being large enough to offer endless variety, yet intuitive enough that you never feel lost. It’s a rare combination of sheer scale and personal connection that makes every day feel like you’re exploring something entirely new.

Who Is This Ship For

Anthem of the Seas is an ideal choice for multigenerational families, active couples, and groups of friends who value variety and innovation in their holiday. It’s a natural fit for those who want to stay active, as the sheer number of unique features, from surf simulators to the North Star, ensures that nobody in your party will ever be bored. If you appreciate a ship that seamlessly integrates high-tech entertainment with quality dining and comfortable, well-appointed staterooms, you’ll find that this ship exceeds your expectations. Guests who enjoy being in the centre of the action while having the option to retreat to a private, premium suite will find this ship is perfectly aligned with their travel style.

How We Rate Anthem of the Seas

The Cruise Advisor gives Anthem of the Seas a 5 out of 6. This rating reflects the ship's ability to consistently deliver an exceptional, well-rounded experience that keeps guests engaged from start to finish. The variety of onboard activities and the sheer quality of the entertainment venues are the primary drivers of this high score. While it’s a large ship that can feel busy at peak times, the clever design of its public spaces ensures you rarely feel crowded. The dining options are varied and generally excellent, though a few of the speciality venues are so popular that they can feel a bit rushed during peak hours. Overall, this ship is a fantastic choice for any traveller who wants a modern, high-energy, and memorable ocean getaway.
