Royal Caribbean’s first Oasis-class vessel, Oasis of the Seas, was delivered in 2009 and the second ship, Allure of the Seas, started operating in October 2010.

In October 2014, the cruise operator received the first Quantum-class cruise ship, Quantum of the Seas, from German shipbuilder Meyer Werft.

The sister vessel of the cruise ship, Anthem of the Seas, is being built by Meyer Werft and is expected to be delivered this year.
