Harmony Of The Seas Arrives

The largest cruise ship in the world, dubbed a floating city, has docked in Southampton after setting sail from France.

The 362-metre-long Harmony of the Seas cost $1 billion (£700 million) and is larger than the Eiffel Tower.

The 16-deck ship, which has a 6,360-passenger-capacity, underwent 32 months of construction in a French shipyard, where US-based Royal Caribbean Cruises took possession of the liner earlier this month.

Weighing 227,000 tonnes, the vessel also boasts:

• 2,500 state rooms
• 20 restaurants
• 23 swimming pools
• Central Park – a living park in the centre of the ship with more 10,000 plants and 50 trees
• 24 lifts for guests
• The Ultimate Abyss – the tallest slide at sea, plunging visitors 10 stories from deck 16 to deck 6
• The deepest pool at sea
• A double-story Wonderland specialty restaurant
• 11,252 works of art
• Robot bartenders
• Virtual balconies with real-time views of the destination for interior rooms
• 2,100 crew members from 77 different nationalities

Richard Fain, Chairman and CEO of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd, said: “Harmony of the Seas is the product of our zealous spirit of continuous improvement, where we have combined revolutionary ship design with the technological strides that have defined the Royal Caribbean brand.”
