ROYAL Caribbean International has announced that guests on board its new ship Anthem of the Seas will party to We Will Rock You – the smash hit musical featuring the greatest hits of legendary British rock group Queen – when the ship sails from Southampton in April 2015.

Written by British comedian Ben Elton, the award-winning show boasts a score of Queen tunes such as Another One Bites the Dust, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Are the Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody, and, of course, We Will Rock You.

“On our new Quantum-class ships, guests can expect an entertainment experience that transcends anything they’ve ever seen before, and We Will Rock You is no exception,” said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, executive vice president, operations, Royal Caribbean International. “We’re thrilled to bring the timeless rock ballads of Queen to our most appropriately named ship.”

Built around 24 of Queen’s greatest hits, We Will Rock You tells the story of a group of Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought, fashion and live music in a distant future where everyone dresses, thinks and acts the same. Musical instruments and composers are forbidden, and rock music is all but unknown. We Will Rock You has now been seen in local productions in 17 countries, playing to an audience of more than 15 million people.

As part of Royal Caribbean’s Broadway at Sea offerings, guests of the cruise line can take in performances featuring the storytelling of Abba’s songs in Mamma Mia! on Quantum of the Seas, the 60s-inspired bebop of Hairspray and Cats on Oasis of the Seas, the jazz-infused score of Chicago: The Musical on Allure of the Seas, the toe-tapping Saturday Night Fever on Liberty of the Seas, and We Will Rock You on the new Anthem of the Seas.

Additionally, guests sailing on the cruise line’s Adventure of the Seas will be able to experience a limited time engagement of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Tell Me on a Sunday, running through until November 2, 2014.

Anthem of the Seas will introduce a new set of on board experiences, such as Ripcord by iFLY, a heart-pounding skydiving experience; North Star, a thrilling adventure that transports guests more than 300ft in the air; cutting-edge transformative venues including SeaPlex, the largest indoor sports and entertainment complex at sea with bumper cars, roller skating and more; and the cruise line’s largest and most advanced staterooms ever.

Anthem of the Seas will debut in Southampton April 2015, sailing Mediterranean itineraries.
