} |} MS ''Ovation of the Seas'' is an upcoming cruise ship under construction by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany, for Royal Caribbean International (RCI). The vessel will be the third ship in the ''Quantum'' class, which surpasses RCI's earlier ''Freedom''-class ships by over 14,000 GT, becoming the second largest class of passenger ships behind RCI's ''Oasis'' class ships on a gross tonnage basis.〔 ==Concept and construction== On February 11, 2011, RCI announced that it had ordered a new class of ships from the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, the first of which was scheduled to be delivered by fall 2014. At the time, the project was code-named "Project Sunshine". On February 29, 2012, the company announced that a second "Project Sunshine" ship had been ordered and would be delivered by Spring 2015. Just under a year later, on January 31, 2013, RCI announced that the official name of the new class of ships was the Quantum class. ''Ovation of the Seas'', the third vessel in the Quantum class, was laid down by Meyer Werft on March 5, 2015. Before the first piece of keel was lowered into place, Adam Goldstein, President and COO of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., the holding company of RCI, placed a lucky coin in the dock. The keel will eventually be formed of 74 blocks. The first section was launched on 20 June 2015. ''Ovation of the Seas'' is scheduled to enter service in spring 2016.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MS Ovation of the Seas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
