Anthem of the Seas

Dining

Anthem of the Seas has one of the most contemporary dining scenes in the fleet, which is a big reason it remains so attractive for UK cruisers in 2026. Royal Caribbean’s official line-up highlights flavours from Japan, Italy and the wonderfully imaginative Wonderland, with favourites such as Izumi, Jamie’s Italian by Jamie Oliver, Chef’s Table and La Patisserie adding to the sense of variety. The Main Dining Room and Windjammer still provide the dependable Royal Caribbean core, but the overall feel is more modern and city-like than on older ships. If you enjoy having plenty of choice and a polished, up-to-date atmosphere, Anthem really delivers.

Entertainment & Things to Do

Entertainment on Anthem of the Seas is all about innovation, variety and all-weather appeal. SeaPlex® remains a huge draw, with bumper cars and roller skating helping this Quantum Class ship feel playful and different from more traditional cruise vessels. Add in North Star®, RipCord® by iFLY®, Two70® and the Main Theater, and you have a ship that feels modern from morning until late evening. This is a particularly smart choice for UK cruisers who enjoy sea days or mixed-weather itineraries, because there is so much to do indoors as well as outside. Anthem is energetic, stylish and full of memorable moments from start to finish.

Ideal for

Anthem of the Seas is ideal for families with older children, couples who enjoy a modern onboard atmosphere and travellers who want a ship with plenty of technology-led entertainment. It is also a very good match for UK cruisers who do not necessarily want the enormous scale of Oasis Class but still want a cruise that feels current, polished and busy in the best possible way. If you love the idea of panoramic views, imaginative spaces and a holiday where the ship adds just as much as the itinerary, Anthem is hard to beat. It suits adventurous guests who like flexibility, variety and a lively contemporary feel.

Useful Information

One of the best things about Anthem of the Seas is how well it balances headline attractions with practical comfort. The indoor venues are excellent, which makes the ship especially appealing for Alaska and other itineraries where the weather can vary. Accommodation spans Inside, Ocean View, Balcony and suite categories, giving UK travellers plenty of room to match the booking to their budget. It is worth checking Cruise Planner early for popular attractions, dining and entertainment, particularly on busy sailings. Once onboard, however, the layout feels efficient and easy to understand, so the ship never becomes tiring despite offering a lot to see and do.

Destinations

In 2026, Anthem of the Seas is especially relevant for Alaska from Seattle, with standout scenery around Endicott Arm, Juneau and Skagway, alongside other longer seasonal options that can include South Pacific and transpacific sailings. For UK cruisers, that makes Anthem a very compelling choice because the ship is so well suited to cooler or variable conditions. You can admire glaciers from North Star®, enjoy indoor entertainment on sea days and still have that unmistakable Royal Caribbean energy throughout the cruise. If you want an itinerary that feels adventurous and scenic without giving up modern comfort, Anthem of the Seas is an excellent match.
