MAMMA MIA! to debut on Royal Caribbean's Quantum Of The Seas

Jason · November 29, 2013

Royal Caribbean International – the first cruise line to feature fully licensed, Tony Award-winning Broadway productions – today announced that guests onboard Quantum of the Seas will enjoy MAMMA MIA! – the smash hit musical based on the songs of Swedish pop sensation ABBA – when she sails from the New York area in November 2014. The first details of the new ship's entertainment offerings were revealed to viewers who tuned in to watch the cruise line's float, "A World at Sea," set sail down the streets of Manhattan as part of the 87th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

"The debut of MAMMA MIA! onboard Quantum of the Seas continues to raise the bar of what we offer our guests onboard our latest groundbreaking ship," said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, Executive Vice President, Operations, Royal Caribbean International. "Since introducing Hairspray onboard Oasis of the Seas in 2009, our Tony award-winning musical productions have been incredibly well-received by guests, and we are proud to expand our Broadway at sea offerings with our fourth licensed main-stage production – more than any other cruise line."

More than 54 million people around the world have fallen in love with the characters, the story and the music that make MAMMA MIA! the ultimate feel-good show. The sunny, funny tale unfolds on a Greek Island paradise where on the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. ABBA's greatest hits – including "Dancing Queen," "The Winner Takes It All," "Money, Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me" – propel this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship.

As the only cruise line to offer Tony Award-winning Broadway musicals at sea, Royal Caribbean guests can enjoy the 60's-inspired bebop of Hairspray on Oasis of the Seas, the jazz-infused score of Chicago: The Musical on Allure of the Seas, the toe-tapping disco beats of Saturday Night Fever on Liberty of the Seas and now, the storytelling magic of ABBA's timeless songs in MAMMA MIA! on the new Quantum of the Seas.

The new Quantum-class will debut in November 2014 with Quantum of the Seas, followed by her sister-ship Anthem of the Seas in April 2015. Each ship spans 16 decks, encompasses 167,800 gross registered tons, carries 4,180 guests at double occupancy and features 2,090 staterooms.
