Quick Answer: Anthem of the Seas (168,666 GT | 4,180 guests | 2015) is a Quantum Class ship built by Meyer Werft (yard S.698) and christened by godmother Emma Wilby.

Features North Star, RipCord by iFLY skydiving, and SeaPlex multi-use sports complex. This page covers deck plans, live tracking, dining venues, and videos.

Who She's For: Cruisers who want Quantum-class tech innovation (North Star, iFLY, SeaPlex, Two70) in a ship carrying about 4,180 guests — more intimate than Oasis class yet packed with high-tech features. As of 2026, ideal for Pacific Northwest cruisers sailing Alaska from Seattle or those catching her on repositioning voyages. Not for guests expecting Oasis-class neighborhoods (Central Park, Boardwalk) or waterslides.

Anthem of the Seas tends to suit travelers who appreciate modern technology and innovative features like the North Star capsule rising 300 feet above sea level, SeaPlex (bumper cars and sports), and Two70's transforming entertainment space. It's ideal if you want Quantum-class innovations with about 4,180 guests at double occupancy — more intimate than Oasis class yet packed with high-tech experiences. If you're looking for the classic neighborhood layout or the largest ships afloat, you may want to explore Oasis or Icon class instead.
