On May 29, 2016, the Royal Caribbean’s ‘Harmony of the Seas‘ set sail on her maiden voyage. At 1,188 ft long, 215.5 ft wide and 226,963 GRT, she is the is the largest passenger ship in the world, surpassing her older sisters Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas.
With accommodation for up to 6,780 guests and 2,100 crew members, the facts and figures for this ‘floating city’ are truly mind-boggling. Let’s take a closer look at the largest passenger ship ever built.
Launching in April 2018 ‘Symphony of the Seas’ will usurp Harmony of the Seas as the world’s largest cruise ship. It will carry 5,500 passengers (versus 5,479 on Harmony of the Seas) in 2,774 cabins (27 more than its predecessor), and has a total volume of 230,000GT (a shade bigger than Harmony’s 226,963).
