The, yet unnamed, Oasis-class ship is planned to be delivered to Royal Caribbean in 2021.
It will be delivered after Odyssey of the Seas, which will debut in 2020.
During February 2019, Royal Caribbean signed an agreement with Chantiers de l’Atlantique ordering the sixth Oasis ship for delivery in the fall of 2023.
The order awaits financing, which is expected to be completed in the second or third quarter of 2019.
