A little over a month from its intended launch date, Royal Caribbean’s second Quantum-class ship Anthem of the Seas was floated out of its building dock at the Meyer-Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. The 4,180-passenger sister vessel to Quantum of the Seas will next make its journey down the River Ems to the open sea to begin its sea trials, before making its debut at Southampton.
Check out this time-lapse video of the floating-out process, where the building dock is flooded and the ship is floated for its gradual move to the river outside.
