Royal Caribbean International, the contemporary market unit in the Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCCL) group, has called a media event to be held in London on 21 November.
At this point, the company did not disclose further details.
However, rumours have suggested that the company might unveil the employment of Anthem of the Seas, the second unit in the 167,800 gross ton Quantum class, from Southampton from spring 2015, when the vessel is scheduled to be completed at the Meyer Werft in Germany.
The Port of Le Havre in France has a list of cruise ship calls on its website for 2015, which lists Anthem of the Seas as arriving from Southampton or heading there after calling a the French port.
The list no longer features calls by Independence of the Seas, the current resident ship at Southampton, in 2015, although it does include Adventure of the Seas, which is also operating a series of cruises from the British port this year.
The Quantum class vessels are “winter ships,” with many activities that are outdoor on most ships under a glass roof and they also feature higher degree of multi functionality of indoor areas that most ships do at the moment.
Quantum of the Seas, the lead unit of the class, will operate out of New York from late 2014, when it is due to be completed.
