Anthem of the Seas now has a giraffe in a swimsuit and life ring.

This artwork by Jean-François Fourtou was hoisted onto an upper deck of Royal Caribbean International's second Quantum-class ship.

According to Royal Caribbean, the giraffe illustrates Fourtou's sense of humor and taste for incongruity.

'His work uses changes in scale and surprising diversions to question memory and perception, and strive to remind the viewer of the people and things one loves and cares for,' the cruise line said in a note.
