Royal Caribbean has launched construction on yet another new Oasis-class cruise ship, the company announced this week.

The as-yet-unnamed ship officially celebrated the cutting of the first steel at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France.

The new ship is slated to make its debut in 2021 as the fifth in the Oasis class of the company’s cruise ships.

The new ship will feature the signature “seven-neighborhood” layout concept and a “bold and unexpected lineup of thrilling experiences,” the company said in a statement.

The Oasis class ships have several signature amenities, from options like the tallest slide on a cruise ship to the first zip line at sea.
