xKUALA LUMPUR – One of Royal Caribbean International’s newest and most revolutionary cruise ship, Quantum of the Seas, has arrived at Port Klang, Malaysia for the first time. The 18-deck, 168,666 gross registered ton ship is the largest ever to call at any Malaysian port and with the highest number of guests onboard, totalling close to 4,300 from around the world. She is on a 3-night cruise from Singapore.

Traditional plaque exchanges are conducted with Captain Srecko Ban of Quantum of the Seas with the Dato’ Capt David Padman, General Manager of Port Klang Authority and Mr Daniel Ebinesan, Financial Director of Boustead Cruise Centre Sdn Bhd to commemorate the ship’s maiden call, in the presence of local government officials, media, business and trade partners.

Jennifer Yap, Managing Director, Singapore and Southeast Asia of Royal Caribbean Cruises said, “We are pleased with the first call of Quantum of the Seas in Port Klang today which is a significant milestone for Royal Caribbean. The Quantum Class is the next generation of cruise ships filled with innovations in entertainment, technology and culinary that take guests to new heights on the high seas, which we are sure will unleash a new wave of excitement and cruise boom among Malaysian vacationers. Deploying Asia’s largest Quantum class ship here also underscores our heightened confidence in the region’s potential and deepened commitment to growing our regional presence.”

Quantum of the Seas introduced many firsts-at-sea features such as the North Star elevated glass capsule, RipCord by iFly skydiving simulator and the Bionic Bar. She also features transformative venues such as the Two70 multi-purpose multi-level room, which offers 270 degree panoramic views out of the back of the ship and the SeaPlex indoor activity area, which is the largest active indoor area at sea that features bumper cars, rollerskating and even a circus school.

With 18 different restaurants on board, guests will be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining. Guests can look forward to dining at specialty restaurants created in conjunction with award winning chefs Jamie Oliver, Michael Schwartz and Devin Alexander, or at one of five complimentary restaurants available onboard.

Every room on Quantum of the Seas comes with a view thanks to the introduction of Royal Caribbean’s Virtual Balcony available in all interior staterooms. Multi-generational families now also benefit from new Family-Connected staterooms, which connect three different stateroom categories into a special layout with separate bedrooms and bathrooms for all.

Making a return are signature features found on other Royal Caribbean ships such as the H2O Zone kids’ aqua park, rock climbing wall, FlowRider surf simulator, Adventure Ocean children’s programme, Royal Babies and Tots Nursery and DreamWorks Entertainment.
