First look: Inside the super suites on Anthem of the Seas

ABOARD ANTHEM OF THE SEAS -- Want to see how the other half lives when sailing the world's oceans? Take a cruise through the photos above, which offer a first look at the mega-suites on Royal Caribbean's new Anthem of the Seas.

Setting sail Wednesday on its maiden voyage, the 4,180-passenger vessel is one of the largest cruise ships ever built and features some of the most spectacular suites at sea, including several that span two floors.

The 168,667-ton Anthem of the Seas is a sister ship to Royal Caribbean's much-ballyhooed Quantum of the Seas, which debuted in October with a number of first-for-the-industry features including a deck-top ride into the sky and a bar with robot bartenders. Both concepts also appear on Anthem.

USA TODAY Cruise this week is among a handful of U.S. media outlets getting early access to Anthem of the Seas. For our 'first look' tour of the ship, click through the carousel below.
