Royal Caribbean’s Quantum of the Seas to call on St. Kitts’s

Royal Caribbean International’s Quantum of the Seas is the first of Royal Caribbean’s new Quantum class of ships and will include St. Kitts in its 11-night Eastern Caribbean and 12-night Southern Caribbean itineraries. St. Kitts will be receiving six port calls from Royal Caribbean International’s Quantum of the Seas in its inaugural 2014/2015 season.

St. Kitts cruise tourism industry continues to grow robustly, with a recent study conducted by U.S.-based research firm BREA (Business Research & Economic Advisors) reporting an increase in cruise passenger arrivals to the island from 117,000 in the 2005/2006 cruise year to 629,000 in the 2011/2012 cruise year, an increase of more than 400 percent as compared to an increase of 13 percent throughout the Caribbean over the six-year period.

"The fact that Royal Caribbean has included St. Kitts as a port of call for this new ship is a testament to the quality of the destination’s expanding infrastructure," said Senator Ricky Skerritt, Minister of Tourism & International Transport, Trade, Industry, Commerce & Consumer Affairs.

The Quantum of the Seas will sail round-trip from Cape Liberty Cruise Port in Bayonne, NJ. The ship will feature the North Star glass capsule that takes guests on a journey more than 300 feet in the air to deliver 360-degree views; and the RipCord by iFly, the first skydiving simulator at sea; as well as the first bumper car and roller skating offerings at sea.
