Your floating resort

The Ovation of the Seas is a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, which is the third vessel in the Quantum class and similar to her two sister ships, the Quantum of the Seas and the Anthem of the Seas. She sails in summer climates all year by home porting in Tianjin in the northern hemisphere in their summer season and then repositioning to Sydney for its southern summer season fun.

The new Quantum class ships are true game changers with space age design, edge of your seat entertainment and dining that is truly out of this world. Like her sister ships, she has a RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulator, which is an incredible experience for anyone brave enough to chance it.
