Quantum of the Seas
The original Quantum — now Royal Caribbean's flagship for Asia and Australia.
Quantum of the Seas launched in 2014 as the ship that rewrote the rulebook: North Star lifting guests 300ft above the sea, Two70's wraparound glass and RoboScreens, SeaPlex bumper cars indoors. She's now based year-round out of Singapore, sailing Southeast Asia short breaks and longer runs down to Australia — a flying-cruise, but a proper adventure once you're there.

Onboard
Standout features, at a glance.
A high-level look. We'll go deeper on any of these — including the shows worth pre-booking — when we speak.
North Star
The glass observation capsule that put Quantum on the map — 300 ft above the sea, with 360-degree views over Singapore or the Great Barrier Reef.
Two70
Three-storey lounge with a 270-degree glass wall by day and RoboScreens for after-dark shows. Still unlike anything else at sea.
SeaPlex
Bumper cars, roller skating, basketball and circus school — indoors, so tropical downpours are no problem.
Dynamic Dining
Four complimentary main dining rooms — Chic, American Icon, The Grande and Silk — plus Jamie's Italian, Chops Grille, Izumi and Wonderland for speciality.
Ripcord by iFly
The only skydive simulator at sea in this part of the fleet — free to try, quick to book up.
Solarium
Adults-only glass-roofed pool — a proper calm sanctuary above the equator or south of Sydney.
Cabins & where to book
Not all balconies are equal.
Quantum's Asia-Pacific itineraries are mostly warm-water, but she still sails through monsoon fronts and Tasman Sea swells. A mid-ship balcony holds up best; forward cabins feel more of the sea; aft cabins pick up engine vibration.
We'll steer you clear of the obstructed views, the cabins under the pool deck and the noisy connecting doors — and towards the ones that quietly go for the same money.
Best value
Mid-ship balcony, Deck 9
Steady in swell, short walk to the lifts, one deck under the Windjammer. The cabin most seasoned Quantum cruisers rebook.
Family sweet spot
Ocean View or Balcony connecting cabins, Deck 10
Two standard cabins with an interior door — far cheaper than a family suite and better for older kids who want their own space.
Splurge
Grand Suite, Deck 10
Full suite privileges (Coastal Kitchen, priority tender, concierge lounge) without going all the way to an Owner's Suite. The best value in the suite range.
Avoid
Deck 3 & 4 outside cabins
Lifeboat views on parts of both decks. Cheap for a reason — we'll flag exactly which cabin numbers are affected before you commit.
