Royal Caribbean ships named Quantum and Anthem of the Seas

By Tom Stieghorst

Royal Caribbean said it has named the two ships being built under the Project Sunshine program.

The ships will be called Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas. They will debut in the fall of 2014 and the spring of 2015, respectively.

Going forward, the ships will be known as the Quantum class.

The two ship names were among those filed on Nov. 2 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Royal Caribbean said that with the release of the names, the first piece of steel has been cut at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, where both ships will be built.

Royal Caribbean files trademark applications for ship names

Royal Caribbean has filed federal trademark registrations for six potential ship names, as first reported by Royal Caribbean Blog, a blog unaffiliated with the cruise line.

Applications for Anthem of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas, Passion of the Seas, Pulse of the Seas, Quantum of the Seas and Vantage of the Seas were filed on Nov. 2 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Royal Caribbean will have at least three new ships to name, having recently ordered a third Oasis-class ship.

Royal Caribbean also has committed to two Sunshine-class ships, about which Royal Caribbean has not divulged any design information. The first of the Sunshine ships is scheduled to launch in late 2014.
