Royal Caribbean Internationals Quantum of the Seas photographed heading out to sea on 31 October 2014 from East Cowes. On what was a very cold but dry evening I was in a group of about twenty people who had ventured out to see her pass. Although she had arrived in Southampton a day or so before in advance of her maiden voyage on 2 November 2014 for some reason she headed back out to see on Halloween before returning in time to set sail with her first complement of passengers two days later.

She is the first ship of the Quantum class and is 347.1m long with a 49.5m beam and 8.8m draught.

Ordered on 11 February 2011 she was built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg Germany as Yard Number 697 for US$935 million. Laid down on 2 August 2013 she was launched just over a year later on 9 August 2014 before being completed on 28 October 2014, her maiden voyage was on 2 November 2014 two days after I saw her.

GT = 168,666

Powered by two 20.5MW (27,500hp) ABB Azipod XO thrusters with four 3,500kW(4694 hp) bow thrusters she has a top speed of 22 knots.

She can carry a maximum of 4,905 passengers in 2,090 staterooms comprising 1,570 balcony staterooms, 147 ocean-view staterooms and 373 inside staterooms over 16 passenger accessible decks.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
