The Odyssey of the Seas, launched in 2021, is the ultimate evolution of Royal Caribbean’s Quantum Ultra class. This ship stands out for its focus on immersive technology and high-action entertainment. Unlike the Oasis-class ships, Odyssey is designed for versatility, with ultra-modern enclosed spaces that make it ideal for both the Caribbean and Mediterranean routes. It is a “smart” ship where robotics and digital screens play a central role in the guest experience.
