Who’s in need of a vacation? I know I am. With how tiring and stressful things are, I can’t wait to disconnect and log off from daily life. Can’t you imagine? Waking up every day and being met by a beautiful landscape. The only agenda of the day is enjoying yourself and relaxing – no emails, no computers and most importantly, no stress. What a nice fantasy…
Well, that fantasy is becoming a reality with Royal Caribbean’s upcoming Anthem of the Seas, which has arrived in Singapore and is making its debut in Asia. Just imagine – seeing the ocean stretch for miles and miles, its waves crashing against the side of the boat – all day, every day!
Whether you’re looking for a quick respite or a longer time off, vacationers can anticipate a whole range of experiences on deck. So are you ready to send adrenaline pumping down your veins? Or perhaps eating to your heart’s content is more your style? Regardless, Anthem of the Seas will have something tailored to your needs.
What Activities and Eats Await?
It’s not a vacation without some thrills! And nothing says thrilling more than skydiving – a skydiving simulator that is. RipCord by iFLY skydiving simulator invites guests aboard to get a taste of what it feels like to fall from the skies. If that’s a little too much for you, tone it back a little at SeaPlex, the largest indoor activity space on the seas. Indulge your inner child through a series of classic activities including bumper cars and a roller-skating ring.
Of course, you can do more than just play on the ship. Take in showstopping productions like Olivier Award-winning musical “We Will Rock You,” featuring iconic anthems from Queen.
If you’re like me and prefer to sit back and relax, then you’ll enjoy the North Star all-glass observation capsule. Presenting a scenery so breathtaking that you would expect it to be a default desktop wallpaper, this capsule extends over 90 metres above the ocean. Like omniscient eyes gazing down on everyone else, zone out and watch the environment from an unimaginable vantage point!
A vacation is nothing without eats – luckily, Anthem of the Seas has come prepared! Tailored to every palate imaginable, get a taste of the Mediterranean at Solarium Bistro. Those craving some Asian food can check out Izumi for their Japanese treats but how about when you don’t know what you’re in the mood for? Then take a chance at Wonderland, serving whimsical dishes that will hit just right on all your senses.
Finally, if you’re feeling a classic burger with sides, Johnny Rockets is here in Asia for the first time. Teeming with retro vibrancy, the diner dishes up classic American fare like burgers and milkshakes.
