Royal Caribbean International’s new Odyssey of the Seas received her podded propulsion units this week at Meyer Werft, the shipyard building the Quantum-Ultra class vessel.
The German shipyard mounted the huge propulsion units to the aft of the ship as it nears its completion and float out date.
The 4,200-passenger Royal Caribbean ship is due to enter service this coming spring, delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ship is scheduled for a debut season in Europe homeporting in Civitavecchia and sailing in the Mediterranean.
Her debut in the North American market comes next winter sailing from Port Everglades on six- and eight-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises.
