Scheduled to sail her maiden voyage in April of 2015, Anthem of the Seas will offer cruisers more game-changing “firsts at sea” such as a skydiving experience, a thrilling adventure that transports guests more than 300 feet in the air on a breathtaking journey; cutting-edge transformative venues including the largest indoor sports and entertainment complex at sea with bumper cars, roller skating and more; and the cruise line’s largest and most advanced staterooms ever.

Sixty miles from Heathrow Airport and 80 miles from Gatwick Airport, the town is home to many performance centers, Art Galleries, museums and fabulous shops.

Currently, Royal’s Adventure of the Seas and Independence of the Seas sail out of Southampton cruising to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Baltic, Norway and Canary Island.  Royal plans to keep Adventure of the Seas in Southampton along with Anthem.

The itineraries for the new ship will be released in early 2014!
