Royal Caribbean International, the contemporary market unit in Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd group, said Odyssey of the Seas that will be the first Quantum Ultra Class ship to arrive in North America will tout a brand-new look to match the fleet's most action-packed top deck to date, and a mix of record-holding hits and groundbreaking firsts for a game-changing cruise vacation.

“Odyssey's dialed-up onboard adventures, two-level pool deck designed for downtime under the sun and stars, and a collection of restaurants primed to please every palate will all be set against some of the world's most picturesque backdrops, including the vibrant islands of the Caribbean and idyllic coasts of the eastern Mediterranean,” the company said in a statement.

The ship, which will be built at the Meyer Werft in Germany, will enter service in the autumn of 2020, when it will commence a series of cruises from Ft Lauderdale. In the following summer, the ship will redeploy to the Mediterranean.
