ROYAL CARIBBEAN INTERNATIONAL MAKES ITS DEBUT IN THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS

SHANGHAI, Dec. 1, 2016 – Royal Caribbean International has made it into the Guinness Book of World Records with its unique North Star attraction aboard the cruise line’s Quantum-class ships. The North Star is a one-of-a-kind and intimate experience that takes guests on an exhilarating journey high above the sea. This glass observation capsule gently rises more than 300 feet in the air and rotates upwards and over the sides of the ship to provide the most breathtaking, 360-degree views imaginable. These views helped the North Star break the record for “Highest Viewing Deck on a Cruise Ship.”

The three Quantum-class ships offer world-class vacation experiences to international guests. Two of the technologically advanced ships sail from Asia and the Pacific region, Quantum of the Seas from Beijing (Tianjin), China and Ovation of the Seas from Shanghai (Baoshan), China; Sydney, Australia; and Singapore. The third, Anthem of the Seas, cruises from Cape Liberty Cruise Port in New York Harbor to Bermuda, The Bahamas and the Caribbean.

First introduced in 2014, the Quantum-class ships boldly redefined the industry with unprecedented innovations in design, thrilling activities, game-changing technology, multidimensional entertainment and a robust, variety of dining opportunities that create the ultimate, contemporary cruising experience found only on Royal Caribbean.

Royal Caribbean International is an award-winning global cruise brand with a 46-year legacy of innovation and introducing industry “firsts” never before seen at sea. The cruise line features an expansive and unmatched array of features and amenities only found on Royal Caribbean, including jaw-dropping, Broadway-style entertainment and industry-acclaimed programming that appeals to families and adventurous vacationers alike. Onboard, guests are catered to with the cruise line’s world-renowned friendly and engaging Gold Anchor Service from every staff and crew member.
