Royal Caribbean Cruises has ordered a fifth Quantum-class ship for delivery in autumn 2020.

It will be built by Meyer Werft in Germany.

"These ships have been received with excitement, and performed exceptionally well, across the globe. We fully expect that momentum to continue as we add to this innovative class of ships."

Based on current ship orders, Royal Caribbean’s capacity will increase by 5.4% this year, 6.4% in 2016 , 3.4% in 2017, 3.7% in 2018 and 6.6% in 2019.
