Quantum of the Seas is one of Royal Caribbean’s most high-tech ships and offers an array of exclusive first-at-sea experiences. There are many reasons why Quantum of the Seas will be the boldest and most innovative ship to ever sail from Brisbane. Including:
North Star – North Star elevates guests high above the ship for unrivalled 360-degree views. The observation capsule – winner of the Guinness World Record for tallest viewing deck on a cruise ship – offers views of the ocean, ship and some of the world’s most incredible shores from over 100 metres above sea level.

Both bionic bar arm movements are patterned after Marco Pelle from the New York theatre ballet. The robot arms can produce two drinks per minute for a total of 1000 drinks per day. It took 41,6000 man-hours to make and test the robotic bartenders.
SeaPlex – The largest indoor active space at sea, SeaPlex is a distinctive and flexible sporting and entertainment venue with thrilling new features including basketball on a full-size regulation basketball court and the first-ever bumper car and roller-skating offerings at sea.
Two70- The space is aptly named for its magnificent 270-degree panoramic sea views through vast, floor-to-ceiling glass walls spanning almost three decks at the stern of the ship. Unparalleled technology means every show at Two70° is multidimensional and immerses the audience through a combination of live performers, including aerialists, as well as breathtaking video and digital scenery.
