--FILE--The Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Legend of the Seas, travels on the sea in China, 9 December 2008. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is bringing its newest ship to China in an effort to draw more revenue from the worlds biggest travel market. The cruise company plans to move the Quantum of the Seas to Shanghai in 2015 from its current port in New York, said Adam Goldstein, Royal Caribbeans president and chief operating officer. It will add to Royal Caribbeans existing two ships in China. The ship, which has 16 decks and features attractions like simulated sky diving, can carry 4, 180 guests and will sail from Shanghai to destinations in Japan and South Korea, Mr. Goldstein said in an interview. The move was prompted in part by Chinese consumers who want access to the biggest and newest offerings, he said. Quantum of the Seas has an indoor sporting complex where tourists can drive bumper cars, play table tennis and learn the trapeze.
