Royal Caribbean is adding another new megaship.

The company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Germany’s Meyer Werft to order a fourth Quantum-class ship.

The cruise ship is slated for delivery in 2019.

“We have received a remarkable response from travel agent partners and travelers, and are thrilled that we’ll be able to deliver another revolutionary ship with our partners at Meyer Werft,” said Richard Fain, chairman and CEO at Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.

The ship will be the fourth Quantum-class ship in the company’s fleet.

“The fourth Quantum class vessel will be a trailblazer in smart-ship design and vacation innovation,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “Royal Caribbean International is synonymous with adventure, and the icons and amenities on this ship will continue to challenge and expand guests’ expectations of the cruise experience.”

Royal Caribbean debuted its Quantum of the Seas ship late last year.
